Nice thinking on the ducts.

Beautiful work. Going to the video now.

IMO one tiny detail that should be "looked at" is the grill mesh- thats modern, too fine a mesh aesthetically. Hoping at most that is a mesh designed to "hide" the components behind it. And that you plan to put chrome fins or something across it? Something era-matching.

//edit- saw vid. Definitely needs a horizontal element. One thick one (1/2 aerofoil cross section), or maybe a pair- long and short, slightly thinner.

Been a while for updates. Front is coming along nicely.

Truck is looking awesome. Going to be a world class truck for sure. They are doing incredible work

[tdishon]

Progress on air intake, trans cooler, brake pedal support and gas pedal mounting.

[wfo guy]

Very nice.

Looks like you got it near 56th St/Sweetwater?
Those houses always have all sorts of vehicles sitting in the horse property out back.

I picked it up in Gilbert. It was a horse property and the guy collected old trucks. Probably had about 30 of them.
I went back for some parts a couple years ago, but he had passed and everything was gone. I think it was called Johnny's Junkyard.

Getting some pics done for a poster in its current state. Still need the impala taillights and other things, but she looks good in bare metal.

[Gil]

looks very good imho... sexy... Very well done sir !

[wfo guy]

Very nice.

[tdishon]

Brake pedal assembly about dialed in.

[C Presley]

Just Bitchin!

Engine bay getting closer.

[wfo guy]

That will be an engine bay that you will want the hood open on.

[tdishon]

Looking for input on exhaust exiting.
A or B?

B might be changed up a lil. Just trying to figure out a direction.

[ryeguy2006a]

That's a really tough call since they both look really good. I went back and forth and each time I was thinking the picture I was looking at was the best. I don't think you'll go wrong with either choice, but B is way more unique and to me matches the theme of the truck. It's super clean.

[thumper877]

Agreed custom truck your building deserves custom looking exhaust so B for me.But I also think either one looks good
