Re: My 57 Pro Street
The header fit looks great! But the corner left by the curved notch is a bit distracting.

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Beautiful work all the way around!
Who did the coating, Jet hot? Not to be nosy, but what do they charge to coat headers? |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Finally got the cowl vent welded in.
Also had a visit from the Fedex guy. 20 gallon foam filled aluminum tank with a sending unit and 2" sump. Taking the truck Tuesday to get it weighed for the DMV and then I will be able to blow it all apart to finish the frame. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Incredible metal work Kim, so Kustom Smooth...great fuel tank, it looks just like the one I got, works great but I had to notch the stock cross members on my '65 a ton. Probably not an issue for you from the looks of that fire wall. Great progress. Mike

Re: My 57 Pro Street
kim that looks real good, something about a smooth firewall that says ''custom''
all that frame work is hidden from the casual observer, they will see this go ahead and weld up the clip holes for the hood seal rubber the clips they send with the rubber are cheap and just break anyway use a good weather strip adhesive to glue it down.

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Nice progress! Did you get it running? If so how did the wire harness for the engine work out.

Re: My 57 Pro Street
I saw your A/C brackets in an earlier post. What brand did you buy and do you have a picture of them installed? I'm looking for a solution for a 5.3 L engine.
Thanks. Your project is looking great! |
