Some more updates from Steve....

Words by Steve...

The lay-out,measuring, cutting, and the splice of the ( 49 ) to the ( 41 ) steering shaft. This is the way we decided to get-r-done, sure would like to know how they did this in the ole days.?










The finished firewall ( note the Green )




View of the rear missing those "taillights". The new look.






Two guys having fun







New wide white mounted on
the new Green Wheel. It looks black but it really is "Dark Green".!!

 

That's amazing! Thanks for sharing!

Cool stuff, looking forward to more pictures.

 

Rik,

I thoroughly enjoy all of your posts and this one sure brightens my day.

Here's another wide trim ring. This one is from Summit's web site.

 

Great Resto look forward to seeing it done.

Is it me or are these the same type of wheel cover

 

They look close... but I think the once on the Hot Rod use the Calvenar Chrome sides with smooth moon disks. They are thin on the edge then flow in nicely.

The once on the Snooky Ford look to have a very heavy outer edge. You can better see it here. Perhaps its juts all in the reflection... but judging this photo its not.

 

You're doin pretty well there Jimmy!

 

This is a great thread,keep on going guys.look forward to seeing it at GNRS

 

any updates?

 

Updates please !!!

 

How's the progress???

I was very happy to see it at the show even unfinished!I was curious what the front axle is,it looked wide.

 

Its was a 46-48 axle a bit wider than the 41...they didnt have time to find the correct one before the show.
