    I have been craving a 28/29 closed cab Ford lately, and your build isn't helping.
    Your doing a great job so far, I'll keep watching for build updates.

    Just fired it up for the first time. Still have to do a few things before it is drivable. Hopefully this weekend.

    Grill shell insert.

    I wanted the baffels for the pipes to be hidden.

    The radiator hoses are made from mandrell bent tubing. One of the detail that probably only matter to me.

    I wanted to hide the alternator as much as possible. You can't put it to low if you are running a vega box. So I made this bracket to get it below the header.
