Mike, I couldn't figure it out so I threw it out in the warehouse. I think it's some sort of torture device from the 80's

Lo0ks like there may be two of them...you're one sick puppy...not one but two torture devices...and right out in the open even.

Nice build you have there. So whats the scoop on the 67-68 cowl hoods. Production was stoped for a period and the one I purchased was not the best for fit. I was wondering if yours have a positve fit. You should produce a cowl hood like the one in the Carter Hickman rendering. That is sleeker with the longer sloping cowl. I have my debit card waiting as soon as you have the first one available. Good luck with your build. Just to say I didn't know about you when I purchased my hood or I surely would have spent my dime with you instead. Look forward to doing business with you in the future. If you would like I will send you a free window tint kit for your truck if you decide to tint the glass. Scott A Speedy Tint Inc. www.aspeedytint.com

what are the part numbers for the headers been looking for some like that

VA72C10 · 12-29-2008, 04:33 PM

Bump for an update...and to answer everyone else's questions

RCbowtie69 · 01-20-2009, 09:45 PM

have you post any new pictures lately

*1sik52* · 01-21-2009, 11:50 AM

Yea, we need updates!!!

jb4short · 01-22-2009, 02:37 PM

WOw...sorry; I guess I should subscribe to my own thread so I know when there's activity here. Nothing really going on with the build; it's too cold out in the shop to do body work (or anything else for that matter). So- no progress.

The headers are Thorley mid-length from like a '74 Nova. I'll have to search for the number; or I think Jamie from Thorley is here on the boards.

Looks good. Can't wait to see more progress. One question...today anyway: Is there anything special you have to do to switch from a stepside bed to a fleetside?

not with a complete bed...the only thing I think you'd need to change is the tailight wiring harness but we started with no bed so I'm not certain.
