The way Shrunken66Stroker did it is a better method to insure a straight frame.
Take, for example; cutting it straight down and then being off by 1/16 of an inch. Now multiply that 1/16" by half the length of the frame. It only takes being off by a small fraction to translate to much over the length of the frame.

Epoxy primed the tubs. One step at a time. I also went junk yard shopping and got a gas pedal, e-brake mechanism and complete cable set up.

shrunken66stroker · 08-19-2011, 10:48 PM

I put the hood on and took a mental test drive.

Frizzle Fry · 08-19-2011, 11:06 PM

blackmopar · 08-22-2011, 01:36 PM

I dig the direction your going - those 8 hole wheels look great - Ive been thinking lately of deviating from my www ol skool look and starting to set my 64lwb up nascar style (i know that probably sounds retarded but the rear suspension is right anyway!) with a similar wheel combo like yours

good job man!

Vegas and Pheonix are way to hot for me. Been there and done that.

Hesperia Ca has the type of weather right in the middle of LA, and Vegas. It's dry but windy.

The bends, cones, collectors and straight pipe came from Columbia River Mandrel or www.mandrel-bends.com. The kit is called the ultimate builder kit. The header and collector flanges came from Cone Engineering, which it turns out is the supplier for Columbia River.

Strodder · 08-22-2011, 10:30 PM

Thanks Greg. I've been thinking of making a dual exhaust for my Roadstar. It looks do-able with these pipes.

exoticmetalworx · 08-22-2011, 11:00 PM

i just hate ny and all the cool stuff seems to take place in those places

shrunken66stroker · 08-22-2011, 11:08 PM

Make sure you're sitting down if you're looking at prices for 304 stainless. The mild steel isn't cheap either, but I think it will look great after I get it coated. I'm thinking about the Jet Hot coating. Have you ever seen their work?

Strodder · 08-23-2011, 10:26 AM

Yeah, It looks great. It's like a satin chrome and doesn't discolor.

Strodder · 08-23-2011, 10:32 AM

I use cast iron engine paint, but sand blast them first on tube headers.

This paint looks great on cast iron manifolds.
