that's what l did for my son's tribute truck. a 1950 dodge and when it was sub-framed, put in a sbc and the distributor hit the firewall. l've used the 1/2'' to 3'' square tubing shops use to ship jet ski's and snow mobiles in/on to make a floor ''cage'' for 30 dodge. lamp for my man cave outta a 1955 house heater. Later
Someone on here (maybe in a tech week) posted up making backing plates from SS frying pans. PS...I did the before mentioned "wheelbarrow recessed firewall" as well.
^ wow, the colors, ride height, and many other things make that car look like a survivor from the 50s. very cool Talking about Ratsters roadster
We're pretty much talking my whole car.lol. I used to get a lot of stuff from a local freight damage store. Several sheets of 20 gauge about 38" x 80", must have been backs for some metal cabinets. $1 a piece. Made my firewall and several other things. The front of my rpu bed was part off an old baler. Also the top links in the suspension were a tie rod from a combine.
I don't have a picture but I picked up some recessed ceiling lights that would make killer velocity stacks. Also a lot of recycled stuff around the shop. I take apart a lot of old exercise equipment, metal furniture ect. for the metal. This welding cart made from exercise machine and shopping cart. Storage/work bench made from metal shelves, from the freight damage store. Roll around work cart from some kind of office thing. also my rpu body has some metal from a Mal-Wart porch swing.
cool dash kiwipackard...you'll be able to hold your own runnin with the big knobs with that one i reckon!! lol ...sorry couldn't resist
I would, but i've sold the bucket. Secondshooter here on the hamb brought it, and i went on to buy my 30 model A. Theres some cool stuff here, and Willowbillys lamp headlights are very nice.
