Epoxy primed the tubs. One step at a time. I also went junk yard shopping and got a gas pedal, e-brake mechanism and complete cable set up.

shrunken66stroker · 08-19-2011, 10:48 PM

I put the hood on and took a mental test drive.

Frizzle Fry · 08-19-2011, 11:06 PM

Strodder · 08-20-2011, 09:59 AM

blackmopar · 08-22-2011, 01:36 PM

I dig the direction your going - those 8 hole wheels look great - Ive been thinking lately of deviating from my www ol skool look and starting to set my 64lwb up nascar style (i know that probably sounds retarded but the rear suspension is right anyway!) with a similar wheel combo like yours

good job man!

shrunken66stroker · 08-22-2011, 06:06 PM

Vegas and Pheonix are way to hot for me. Been there and done that.

Hesperia Ca has the type of weather right in the middle of LA, and Vegas. It's dry but windy.

Frizzle Fry · 08-22-2011, 07:47 PM

What kit is that?

The bends, cones, collectors and straight pipe came from Columbia River Mandrel or www.mandrel-bends.com. The kit is called the ultimate builder kit. The header and collector flanges came from Cone Engineering, which it turns out is the supplier for Columbia River.

Strodder · 08-22-2011, 10:30 PM

Thanks Greg. I've been thinking of making a dual exhaust for my Roadstar. It looks do-able with these pipes.

exoticmetalworx · 08-22-2011, 11:00 PM

i just hate ny and all the cool stuff seems to take place in those places

shrunken66stroker · 08-22-2011, 11:08 PM

Make sure you're sitting down if you're looking at prices for 304 stainless. The mild steel isn't cheap either, but I think it will look great after I get it coated. I'm thinking about the Jet Hot coating. Have you ever seen their work?

Strodder · 08-23-2011, 10:26 AM

Yeah, It looks great. It's like a satin chrome and doesn't discolor.

Strodder · 08-23-2011, 10:32 AM

I use cast iron engine paint, but sand blast them first on tube headers.

This paint looks great on cast iron manifolds.

shrunken66stroker · 08-24-2011, 01:28 AM

I started the passenger fender today but didn't have time to finish. This is actually easier than I thought. The 2" piece that I cut out above the wheel in the center will fit into the bottom of the fender in the front. The roll under of the lip almost matches perfectly. All that's left is to fill in the rectangular hole.

65Pickup · 08-24-2011, 01:53 AM

Amazing touches again...and you make it look so easy. Subtle.

smilts60 · 08-24-2011, 01:58 AM

Ive been waiting to see you do this ever since your other thread. that works out great for that bottom lip. Love the way it looks, way better than moving the wheels forward.
