Thanks for the kind words bro, But you know when someone says they like your car but you still think it looks like shit because you know what plans you have for it and you want to see the finished product and all they see is whats being displayed?

Hey Short dog...that's a killer ride! What's that back bumper?

 

Geez Louise! Looks like you held a goat roping rodeo in there! Gary 4T950 Chevy Guy

 

hey maybe you can buy it and have hotdog change it

 

Thanx Bro, Its a 51 Cadillac cut down to fit. I also cut out the openings and hand built the taillight buckets and lenses as well as frenched in the license plate and opened up for my exhaust tips (not installed yet)

 

Looks killer! That bumper fits like it grew there...you do fantastic work! The exhaust will look awesome through there, too!

 

I DONT WANT TO HIJACK THIS KILLER THREAD, BUT THOUGHT YOU COULD HELP!!
I posted a thread regardiNg this, but decided I'd ask some 49 - 54 family members ... what did you guys do with your heaters (those huge tubes on the passenger side with the heater core in them?) Block them off? Keep them around? Put in a smaller after market setup?
Thanks for the help!

 

I ditched my heater tube and crotch cooler ducts. If you can re-use your heater core, and you have a small block or keeping the I-6, it would be worth keeping. Otherwise, look for a heater box you can mount on the firewall under the dash. There are literally hundreds of useable kinds that can usually be found @ swap meets pretty cheap.

If you plan to put A/C in the car, most aftermarket A/C evaporators nowadays include a heater as part of the unit.

 

Thanks Slide - I'll keep an eye out - unfortunately there are very few swap meets around here that I know of. Now that aftermarket A/C with the heater included though ... now you're talkin'.

 

Found this one on Ebay today. I have never seen one with the rear fenders "rounded" out wheel wells.
