Too Bad.....

Too bad the big fat meaties are hidden.

Built the zoomies this afternoon. I like the look, but I think they stick out the sides to far. I can shoot them in if I want to, just have to add to the bracket on the frame alittle. Or I can tip the mounts down just a little. They are now just alittle but I could tip then some more

Let me know what you guys think

I think they stick out a little too far.

I think they stick out a little too far.

I agree, and after cleaning up my work area I found the piece of flat strap I wanted to mount them with which was 2 in wide instead of an inch like the stuff I used. So if I would have used the right stuff they would have been pulled in another inch and a quarter or so. Easy fix I will just weld the new plate underneath the original mounting plate and redrill my holes

So my automotive add kicked in and I couldn't leave the pipes alone. I pulled them in 1 1/4". First pic is before the rest are after. Looks better, might need to be shorter[S

 

[Torchie]

I'd leave them the way they are for now. The "Bling" looks good. JMHO

It looks better for sure!

To me the radius of the bend looks too big, at least the way it's mounted. Just visually it's not 100% to me.

But it's your build, and depends what kind of look you're going for. I found a couple cars with zoomies that have a good look to me.

 

[lowbudget50]

I agree I think they're too long also. The band is pretty tight that is not exhaust pipe I made those bends on our conduit Bender at work. That's why I thought if I moved my brace down a couple inches and shorten them up so they just kind of tucked out and kicked up a little bit they would look better

 

[joedoh]

nice work on the zoomies!

Ah I follow you now. That might give a better look.

So tonight I template new full floor boards. The old floor board was just in the very front where your feet sit, it was made of a road sign and was not removable. The steering shaft was permanently mounted mounted through a hole in the middle and it couldn't be removed. Upon templating the floor, my non stop project creating brain started wondering. Now I'm thinking it need a full floor plan. The back tires are really close and I'm thinking fender wells would look really cool and stop rocks from being g bounced around in the body.

What do you guys think? To far? Or worth it? I like building stuff maybe alittle to much!!

Full floor boards and tubs! Just consider who will be in this contraption. Easy choice.

That's kind of what I was thinking. Thanks skip!

It would be good to have a toe board right behind the steering arms, baybe even a dash that goes all the way up to the body

Ypur feet go all the way up to the front of the body. So they sit in between the tires. That's another reason I thought inner fenders might be a good idea

 

[Torchie]

Do it. Full floor boards and wheel wells. If you don't do it now. You will do it later. So get it over with.
I had a 57 Plymouth station wagon that had road signs for floor boards. [ddd

I vote full floorboards and wheelwells. To save weight, you could do them out of aluminum and use screws to make them removable if necessary? Just a thought.

What about a cover over the steering arms to prevent legs from resting against them? Maybe overboard?

Indeed, safety first and always. [cl
