Valve covers are for sure mo' better! [cl
I like the ram's horns, too. Don't see those much anymore.

Those ram horns look great and simplify things a lot, seeing pics of your old project, have you talked to the guy that bought it and has he done anything with it? I would have really liked to get it off you but it was to far to go.

I have e-mailed him but haven't gotten any return info. I hope he is working on it.

This a photo show job on my car

 

[cosmic12]

Sorry about the above post it was supposed to go with that picture and say photo shop job.
Anyway, I got started on the exhaust today SS looped around the steering just tacked so now I need to work my way back.

Looks like its gonna be tight........wrap your starter or you'll be changing it often........great job on the car

Was out working on the exhaust and putting 2"s more on the rear end for lowering and got looking at the steering wheel(59 Impala) and didn't like how it matched up to the coloum so I had to make a tappered cup out of an old light bucket thats been hanging around for years. Ya just never know where or when you'll use that junk ya got hang'n around. This worked great.

 

[sawzall]

That looks great,perfect fit. And you are right never throw out anything that is good metal!

Nice job on the steering wheel. It really makes a big difference.

Got it back on the ground again and now I am beyond bummed. I have dropped the rear a bit over 6"s and now the axle is on the frame and I need 2"s more so it looks like I am going to have to cut the floor/tunnel and C the frame

 

[Snake Farm]

Bummer...........but totally worth the effort for that ride!

 

[Bamamav]

Looks good to me the way it is now....
any lower and you'll need casters under the bumpers!

 

[cosmic12]

The real problem is the rear axle is on the frame now and I need 1 to 2"s more in the rear and I want a bit of travel. I just hate cutting this floor they are so perfect.

 

[Dirtyrat]

With everything else you have done so well, I'm sure creating a new tunnel, or a raised tunnel will be no problem for you here. I think the look you are going for is well worth the efforts!
Looking great!

The path to Coolville sometimes means you have to cut up a mint floor.

Full speed ahead!

 

[Snake Farm]

.......... I just hate cutting this floor they are so perfect.

That's the best kind to cut.........solid metal to weld to no matter where you cut! Now get to crackin' and get that tail on the ground where it belongs! [

Love this car! [dr [P[P
