I like the low profile 2x4 set up! I think it will run better with this set up. The cross ram and tunnel ram look cool but they don't work on the street.

Just from looks, I like the cross ram intake. Not something you see too often.

I agree. I don't think ive ever seen one like that.

Headers are pretty cool lookin'

yes...not what I was expecting. But in a good way! I really like them!

cross ram

Low profile 2x4. It will run better, fits the car better physically and is more suited to the era and style of build you are after. The other two don't flow with the car and are too "rat roddy" IMO...

I have been doing alot of small stuff that had to be done. Not really anything worth taking pics of. I did get it on the ground to figure out if my front steering bar was going to hit the front of my frame. It was close. I heated the spindle arms up and bent them about an inch and it looks like it will be fine now. I ripped the front end back apart and I'm finishing up the welding on the holes in the bones and should be shooting some primer on them and the axle in the next few days.
It's been cold in the garage and I just can't hack the cold now a days. I traded Vickers a 28 Chevy cowl for a nice BIG and very heavy wood burner with a blower on it. It is about 4 foot high and and about 4 1/2 foot long. It was choked down tonight and I was hot. So winter shouldn't hold me back now. I have to get by Christmas and then I will be hitting it hard again.

I finished up my welding on one of the bones and was sick of all the welding and grinding so I figured I'd just stay with this one bone and weld and grind the other one later. I have sanded and primed this bone more times than I care to admit today. Below are some pics of what I thought would be the last coat of primer.


I wasn't happy with the factory welded so I just now did a little grinding and layed a very thin layer of glaze over the bone to smooth out the factory weld job. I'm letting my primer dry as I type this.Sand it down and one more wet coat and I'm hoping to call it a night. I'm beat.

Keep it up Steve, and you're going to be up there trying to snag the Ridler!

Now that's funny. I seen a show where Scratch was talking about the rod that Foose built for the Riddler. I would have like to have been there to just watch what they did. The fender were all hand shaped. It still gets me how a guy can take a flat sheet and make a round part. I love this stuff...
