Thread: Got the body on for mock up

Tweet

It's a great day, been a year since I took it off. Just wanted to share my excitement...


I used a 64 Dodge truck bezel and guage insert for part of the dash..I'll start mounting the seats and steering next..

You should be excited.........really looks super. Everything looks to be done very well, congrats.

Looks great!! Always nice when the nasty work is done and things start going back together.

Congratulations! That's a fine looking ride.

I like the looks of everything, especially the front components on the engine. Are they powder coated? Is it the same finish as the headers?

The reason I ask is I am building a 32 Highboy and am thinking that for the front end I might powder coat the axle, backing plates, spindles, etc. Chrome is too expensive for me.

Any comments appreciated.
Thanks

Really looks good when there at this stage . Completion looks so much closer . Engine does look good with the front pulley set up that way .

Thank you very much for the compliments. I put in at least 1 hour a day, mostly early in the morning before my wife wakes up, drink my coffee, turn on Bob and Tom, she comes out and always asks if I need anything, asks a question or offers her advice on the next fabrication.
The headers are ceramacoat and the brackets are polished powdercoat clear, almost the same shine and color. I used stainless for all the hardware, frame and motor, that was fun finding everything in the right strength, needless to say I now have a great collection of extra hardware! Motor and frame are powder coated with wrinkle finish, like a harley motor. The top of the air cleaner is at stripers getting the 360 4-barrel logo painted on it, like a mopar pie pan. The biggest challenge so far has been finding nos mopar parts to use, like a 67 charger light switch w/bezel or ignition w/bezel...That's what makes this cool though, the hunt!

That is awesome looking, my frame on my 47 Plymouth just became a roller last weekend so i know how good you feel.
