Is the exhaust going to be coated or stay raw? I kind of like it the way it is right now. Looking great guys!

Car looks very nice.

This picture give's me an idea for my next project. The Tank mounted above the heater core box would look cool if it was somehow partially tucked into it.

Ok, a couple of questions... What made you go with the heater box and not a flat firewall? What wiper motor system is that?

Other than that, i'm just still in amazement. I love it when I get my notification that there is a post in this thread.

By the way I do like the Tilton reservoir. I figured it would get painted.:popcorn2:

As always, Roger, you do an awesome job.

Since the car has a 15 year old paint job and the vinyl roof. We saw no reason to flatten the firewall anymore then we did. We planned to run the bulkhead for the AC and heater through it for space and figured it would be less work to just powder coat the bolt on part, then weld, body work & paint whatever we could have done. The wiper motor is from newport engineering. We modified the wiper motor base to get it clocked in a better position.

With as much as we have done. There is a lot we have not done to this car. It is meant to be driven and have fun like his 57 chevy with and LS9 on one of our frames.

Makes perfect sense. Thanks for the explanation. Can you tell me what you had to do to the wiper motor as far as the modifications? I looked it up, not a bad price, but I like the way you have it clocked compared to their picture on the website.

Just cut and reweld something to reclock it. It was not tough but man we work on so much stuff I forget the actual process of what was done. It was not tough but made quite a bit more room.
