Re: My 57 Pro Street

Been working on getting the tail lights installed.
The pics are pretty self explanatory.
Also ordered a brake pedal assembly from Pirate Jacks and I have to say the were really nice to work with.
Ordered my lower tubular front control arms also and will post pics when they arrive.

Re: My 57 Pro Street

Here's a few more pics of the tail lights being installed. I still have trouble welding so its good that I can grind and redo them.

Re: My 57 Pro Street

Started working on frenching my license plate also. I had some 16 gauge bent and then welded it up. I had made deeper than it will end up being. I just wanted a little extra to play with the depth on the bed.

Re: My 57 Pro Street

from post #44 - man, looking at your work, if that's "trouble welding" then I'm gonna just put my Lincoln welder in the front yard and plant pansys in it! Your work is awesome and shows me how I can salvage the front stubs of my subframe!

Re: My 57 Pro Street

Thanks for the compliments guys. I really appreciate the kind words.
hotrodsbyray, I still have trouble with the thinner sheet metal but I just keep trying and eventually get something I can live with. Burn through is what really frustrates meat at times. It seems there is a very fine line between not enough power and to much.If I can do it anybody can.

Re: My 57 Pro Street

Well I did some more work on the license plate.
I didn't like the first piece I made for it so I made another ( the first one wasn't square).
Did a layout of where it would go drilled some holes and then conected them.

I still have to finalize the final depth of it but you can get a little idea of what it will look like.

Re: My 57 Pro Street

The UPS guy droped this off at the house today.
Found it at Pirate Jack for $89.00 which was way cheaper than anywhere else.
Seems to be a real nice piece and their customer service was very good.

Did some more work on the plate mounting.
The pics are self explanatory.
I just have to do some finish welding and grinding and it'll be good to go.

Re: My 57 Pro Street

The UPS guy dropped off some more goodies.
These are the upper and lower control arms I'm going to use.
They are made by SPC.
The ball joints are tall polished Howe units.
The lower A-arms will drop the suspension 1" over what the stock ones would set at.
