THAT EXPLAINS THE CAPS!!!!

 

here is a better pic

 

If I had to change anything it would be the headers and a set of wheels & tires. Some lake's headers or cast block huggers (like the Sandersons) and a set of 16-inch steelies with skinny blackwall bias plys and you'd be in business.

 

Dont like the firewall? rolling some beads in it like Henry did may give it character

 

I like the headlights... I think they can work if the truck is gonna be low and long, it'll flow together. Imagine them dropped 3 inches, and moved forward about 2... I think that would hide them enough so they don't stick out, but they'd still contribute to the look...

 

NAW...it looks great!

Grab 12 cans of spray primer, shoot it, get some better looking wheels/tires on it....roll it out side, and you'll have a new view of your ideas and dreams...trust me.

 

i just got done working on it for the nite and welded some more structure into the rockers with a grove to fit a weather strip to seal the door. i am feeling much better about the fire wall thanks to every one that answered.

 

The firewall....hate to be the only dissenting vote, but I think it is too angular for the car. I really hate the look of a part that just looks like it was bent up on a brake. For it to look more "natural" it needs to be softer, more rounded corners than sharp edged. I know it's a lot of work, but from what I hear, you like to cut and weld! I would get a T dolly, or solid round bar, 3/4 or 1" diameter, cut the bends, and hammer them over the bar to round them off, and reweld. A few beads rolled in it would also make it look more natural. Esp. if they were wider than the normal 1/4" ones.
Just an opinion from someone who likes to do more work than necessary, though! Anthony can tell you.....

 

In the firewall recess you need some cathederal type pin striping to go with the shape a kinda theme once it's done when i say church or cathederal if you look at some of the stuff from the middle ages in Britain it was kinda skulls and skeletons and very very gothic...........Marq

 

as i went to sleep last nite thinking deeply about the look of the fire wall it came to me to cover the out side with either engine turned gold leaf with some stripe work or aluminum. not noticeable in the pics are the fine bends in the reacesed portion of the fire wall that follow the other angles. also i think alot of it is not going to be seen when the engine is fully dressed (valve covers and spacers magneto, plug wires, heater hoses , carb linkage)
any one got ideas on what kind of air cleaners to run ?????
i have old cal custom finned valve covers or an old set of corvette ones that im going to use when i decide

 

<font color="green">I am running an O'Brien Truckers air cleaner.

Get ahold of him and he'll send you a catalog.

i cant imagine any one thinking they are going to stay. but if any one wants them send some shipping money and ill be glad to get them the fuk out of my shop along with any of the other junk taking up good space
