Sweet build. I am working on a '57. Love some of your ideas. Can you tell me where you found the trim for the back window? I love the color. I would love to paint mine black but I do not trust anyone around here to do the body work and I know it has to be flawless for black. Again, awesome build!

Did you get the chrome bead lock, or is it chrome trim? Also did you get the windshield trim from CP too? Does is snap on the rubber? Thanks.

rear is a chrome bead lock
the front trim locks into the rubber i've got it from ebay but cp has them too

OrrieG · 12-17-2012, 07:30 PM

Thanks, I looked on the web site but they were not real descriptive. I was going to use plain black like it came with but circumstances have me thinking about adding the chrome.

63split · 12-19-2012, 05:48 PM

last night we have put on the front fenders
tonight i have done some rear wiring on the tail lights
and put on the dash trim

also got some exhaust pipe's in today and layed them out to figure out how
it will be

Without a doubt, one of the best builds I've seen here. Great job! Sure would like to know what rear end you're running (narrowed?), also what size wheels and tires? Keep up the inspiration!

Is it the same tire that is pictured earlier in the build? It looks like it may be a 335/30/18

63split · 12-22-2012, 02:43 PM

ok today i have been playing with the exhaust system
figuring out how to route the pipes and mufflers and keeping it short as posible
to end up at the steps

adding the cut-outs

**youngrodder** · 12-22-2012, 02:55 PM

That is short. Looks good though. What series are those flowmasters?

63split · 12-23-2012, 01:42 PM

got more done on the exhaust today
figured out all the bends and it ends nicely up at the exhaust tips

only need to fab some hangers behind the mufflers and then remove it again
and paint it all black

Kim57 · 12-23-2012, 01:46 PM

That came out nice.
Kim

**oldman3** · 12-23-2012, 02:54 PM
