Looks good as usual. [P

Side note: You may want to step up to DOM string. That yellow stuff is only ELW (electrically wound) and won't hold up to the abuse. :D
 
started making the new hood sides





it is two separate panels so it doesnt have a big hole under the headers



think i might remake the filler panel under the header, the louvers look funny

and drilled all the mounting holes for the dash panel, and got the gauge pod mounted

 
i got to make some more progress on this one last week since i had a car not show up. hoping to get this one ready for the owner to finish up this week.he wants to do all the plumbing and wiring on it. any way i got the steering all mocked up, the hood latching, lower windshield stantions re worked and fitting good, and the front shock/ head light mounts cut down and tacked up

front hood latch



rear hood latch, i put this one upside down since there is not a lot of room between the hood side and the header



handles



this piece is welded to the hood side and slides behind the lower section of the hood side ( the part that stays stationary on the frame) to hold the two pieces together when the hood is down



the spreader bar cut down and fit up



getting the steering all mocked up







the lower stantions fit up, this was a lot more work than it looks like. took about an hour of massaging each to get them to fit right



 
Very nice.....

Attention to detail is really your thing and the builds are killer....what can anyone say.....you have the gift....
 
Excellent work per the usual... I like the door panels... My dad wants me to put some of those old bird stickers on my truck... I told him no way I'm putting any stickers on it... I guess u fixed the whole sticker thing
