Best of luck. I'd like to see how it comes out.
I have no experience but I'm sure someone else does. That's a sweet car.
Sorry I've been inactive for a while, but I ended up going with dual exhaust and glass packs out the back, and a Y pipe to the lake pipes. It...
I swear I'll post a video when I get a chance.
[ATTACH][ATTACH] They're in. Next is actual exhaust.
The pipe is probably 4 or 5 inches off the ground. All I know is it's higher off the ground than I have suspension travel. I just have to be...
[ATTACH][ATTACH] Making progress.
I'll keep you updated. It should be happening pretty soon.
I guess I'll have to be extra careful. I'm still going to give it a shot.
I'm going to mount these lake pipes soon and then see what I can do about exhaust.
I figure if I run it with cutouts and open caps I have less of a chance of building up water in the pipes. I see that as an advantage.
Luckily my car is fairly close to the ground.
A guy pulled up to me at a stop light while I was in my 50. I hear him say "it's about time you got a new car don't you think?" He was either...
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. If no one minds I might use this as an impromptu build thread.
I'm almost in disbelief that I have a shoebox.
I must be missing something here.
[ATTACH][ATTACH] I've had this '50 ford for almost a year. I drove it every day last summer. It rides real low when I have all my cousins...
Thanks for the compliments.
Hey thanks. Where are you from?
[ATTACH] I don't know if anyone looks at this but here it is now.
Got a front bumper from them for my 50 ford and it looks pretty good to me. I'm no expert but it doesn't look shitty.
I think we have a winner. That way I get the best of both worlds.
That's another thing I want to do. I just want to do something different. Everyone and their mother has fake lake pipes.
Should I cap the very front of the pipe then, so stuff can't get in there and sit?
I think I'll go with cutting a hole in half way down. I love the sound of a straight piped flathead, but I need to be able to drive this thing....
Now next question: since there isn't a lot of room between the headers and the pipes, could I use mufflers?
I was planning on running them uncapped. And yeah I found out about hot pipes when I got out of a t bucket one time. That was fun. Thanks for...
Forgive me if there is already a thread out there, I'm new to the H.A.M.B. This is my first car, so I have plenty of ideas, but no knowledge...
Hi there I'm Jack. I've got a '50 ford sedan that I got around last June or so. It's mostly a stock car with some minor changes. Since the...
