Thanks Earthman. I need to post my side exhausts that I fabricated . They exit out of the running boards.

 

[BillM]

I like it, and am looking forward to seeing your running board exhaust exits...

Below is the exhaust tips I made . I took a piece of 4" exhaust pipe and messaged it into an oval shape. I then welded my 2 1/2" pipe to them. I used a hole saw to cut the running boards , then made a plate as sort of a flange. Just so thwe exahaust wasn't just rattling on the running boards. I painted them with some high temp paint. They will be black, just like the running boards once I get to that point.

 

[Old Iron]

That's neat lookin [cl

 

[Skip]

Yup. Cool exhaust tips. Hot? [cl

 

[soltz]

Looks good, i like it [cl

I wrapped the running boards in fober insulation, so that they didnt make the running boards hot. Plus, I flattened the larger pipe , so that you cant really see it running under there.

Thanks! That turned out really good. You must be pleased. I may just have to mimic what you've done there I like it so much.

So, I got to work on the 48 yesterday. I have always entertained the idea of a wood grained dash. So, that is what I did. I have done this by using my airbrush, but it is very time comsuming. I used printed vinyl and a heat gun to apply it . Ok, I will admit it. I used a $9 roll of shelf paper that I bought off of Amazon. Used heat gun to make the curves. Going to airbrush a branded Ford logo in the center of the dash, thren clear coat over the whole thing with semi gloss clear.

Doing a Ford logo on my new simulated wood grain dash. Gonna get the airbrush out, and make it look like it was branded into the dash, with hot embers and smoke. This is the first stage

 

[Burgerman]

Very nice work. [cl

 

[bob w]

Very nice work. [cl

Agreed.

 

[Torchie]

Very nice.
I did more then my share of "Woodgraining" in the late 70's and early 80's working in the dealership body shops.
Hot soapy water and a good squigee works wonder too.
