Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
I've thought of a thousand ways to finish that bowtie, but i have yet to make a final decision on it. I think i'd prefer for it to blend with the surroundings and not really scream "look at me". I dont have a pic to show, but one thing i did was roll a piece of sheetmetal to tightly fit the contour of the dash directly behind it, then painted the same as the dash. When in place it looks like the bowtie was milled into the dash.
If anyone would like to offer suggestions on it, fire away !!

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
Lot of nice things you've done there. I really like the latest wheel and tire combo.
What headers are you running? |

Quote:
The headers are Hooker #2455 with 2" tubes. These are early Chevelle headers and they fit great. One tube comes real close to the lower control arm on the driver side, since adding the tubular arms. Factory lowers had plenty of clearance.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
Maybe I missed it, but what size of wheel and tire (brand) are you running in the front?

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
Thanks! I can't make up my mind between the 28 x 8's or the 26 x 8's for the front... But you have convinced me to go with the 31 in the back....

I really like that brake light [and the rest of the project] - hell of a nice job so far.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
Rob, i pondered that same question over and over. If you check out Eric D's " Silver Bullet " build page in this section, you can get a real good look at 26" Sportsman S/R's on the front, from a lot of different angles .

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
VERY nice Chris! I've been waiting to see it together for a long time. I knew that it would be nice, but I never imagined it being THAT awesome.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
Great info on the headers. So they will fit into a stock frame with no modification? They look like they tuck up in they frame pretty well, how much do they show below the frame? Thanks!

And here I am proud of my junkyard build! Very nice work, that 468 sounds very nice! 6,000 right now! I think my plow rig needs one of those...

Sure does, it's a Pete Jackson drive. Quote:
Oh, they also stay tucked nicely inside the frame rails.
