    Looks like a steel corvair box, my guess would be.. Some boxed plating off the frame, underneath the toe boards... I think you could do similar with an f-1 box also using a vw style clamp method , if you were to turn the snout down to a typical od

    Well it's pretty clean and I'm thinking of doing something similar to my 28 dodge but I'm going to run an sbc and don't want to hear all the lame comments about that.

    I'm with you,Looks like Corvair box
     
  8. Sort of set yourself up for it right ?

    Tell a little kid "don't push the red button" and the next thing do is start looking for it. :). Some of these guys are worse than little kids lol
     
  9. Variation of t bucket style mount for corvair box maybe ?

    So true.Like how clean that looks without the arm sticking out the main cowl area.
     
  11. No doubt its a nice set up tucked in the foot well area.
    With the right steering column mount a guy would have no trouble setting the exact location & angle he wanted and only use 2 u joints and dodge everything on the way out. Very neat.
     
  12. That "A" belongs to HAMB'r 63dan63.. I had P/M'd him a while back and asked about the setup..Its a reversed Corvair.. There's a great pick of the mount on his album..Very similar to the one pic of the T-Bucket setup..It is a clean setup ...

    If the steering box mounts to the frame, the steering should be reasonably accurate right? You just don't like the look of having it exposed on the side?
     
  14. What are you talking about and who are you talking about it to?



    Thanks turbo !
    Scoped it out and the whole car is really well built too.
