Thanks guys Its really working out pretty good. my $50.00 swapmeet headers fit great, you can get at the plugs easy and the headers can be removed real easy, I fit the radiator and that fits perfect too I made the template for the engine plate larger to so It will hook to the front roll bars at the top.

I got the dr rear fender shortened now. these fenders are off a 50 dodge PU and they have like a 33" opening and I felt it was to large so I cut 2" out of the middle to shrink it a little and welded it back together. Ron... here is the stock fender: and now 2" smaller:

I made a cardboard hood scoop to get a pattern for the one I want to make for it. My friend Curt milled out the front engine plate and I fitted it to the engine. it fits great . here are a few pics.

I am assuming that you will have long wheel studs. They can make it tuff sometimes. I've seen where guys have had to either deflate the tire to get it off, or remove the lower coil over bolt and drop the rear suspension to be able to remove the tires. Keep coming with the pics!

Ron Podsiadly,...	just a little update on the race truck and roadster PU projects. the Dana is now out of the truck, now that I have my measurement to get it narrowed, (I will drop it off Tuesday to be narrowed) and I cut the grill opening out and trimmed down the 58 ford grill to start fitting it to the willys nose I also picked up a very clean "B" body 8 3/4 for the roadster PU and the body is at the sand blasters and should be done today or tuesday I have been working on overkilling the frame for the roadster PU as you can see by the pictures so anyway some work is getting done on both projects and that feels good to be going forward Ron... I still need to finish up the back of the frame: 8 3/4 and roadster PU frame(upside down) Last edited by Mopar Ron; 05/28/10 02:21 PM.
