Thanks! I agree on the comments about the direction for these types of build. I think many owners out there are finding a nice balance for these cars. The vehicles we see getting this treatment are usually ones where the styling has really stood the test of time and are now becoming appreciated for what they are. The owners would rather let the factory styling speak for itself and bring the internals up to modern performance and handling levels to compliment the outside.

Just killer! :thumbsup: Looking great guys! Cant wait to see this one done! :hail: :D

wow!!!!
humor me please, how many hours are into those headers?

All of them.



j/k...about 40-60hrs

Wow, outstanding work.

Those headers look like something out of an alien movie, awesome job.

snaking is right, my guess would be a coral snake.

Question for you chris. I have been playing with stainless tubing myself, what do you use to cut the tubing at multiple angles?

Missed this one! :_paranoid
We normally use either a cold saw or bandsaw.

Time for a few pic updates!

The Corinthian White is on:

Along with the protective liner sprayed out on the underside and inners:

We also created a panel to hold two vents and the AC controller within the factory opening in the dash.

WOW - that looks awesome ! :thumbsup:

Nasty!! :wow: :wow:

Wow!!

I like this one alot. What undercoating are you using. Tried several but nothing I am perfectly happy with looks wise.

R-S just outstanding!!!!!!!!!!:thumbsup:

X2....was wanting to ask this as well.

This would make for a great poster. Absolutely beautiful!

Nice wrok ! It looks great.

Man this car checks every box for me. Perfect color choice for this car too. 60s Fords always pull off that "plain white wrapper, evil doing underneath" thing. Great job.

Very nice!!

Mike not sure what they use but have you tried Sikkens OTO body coat?? Works with a shoots gun, very nice texture and can be built up if need be. Also it is paintable.

Chris, are those Stainless Works bullet mufflers on the tails? Diameter? Part #?

I want to run something similar on my car as resonators just like you've done here... please lmk

V/R,
Ty

Beautiful work
 

:hail: RS

OUTSTANDING BUILD !
Tom

That A/C vent/controller combo is awsome, really nice idea.

You only like it because it is billet and there is a Solidworks drawing! :lol:

They are from Vibrant. I don't have a part number but it is their standard, bottle style resonator. We use them on a lot of cars to take the bark out of the exhaust note. They are 4" OD (2", 2.5", and 3" ID Available) and come in 12" and 18" lengths

Perfect color for that vintage Ford. :wow: If only it had wheel tubs.

I have not, do not have good access to Sikkens locally.

Mike if you want to try some I get you in touch with our rep in your area? Also LKQ/Keystone is a national distributor of our Sikkens and Lesonal brands. Not sure if the LKQ/keystone location in your area has our paint or not but you could call the to see??

Sorry for the highjack RS!! :_paranoid

I just got caught up on the build. I don't know what is prettier, the engine, or the headers ;)
Lucky customer, It will be very interesting to hear this old girl, run again with the Kassified engine bay.

Nice work as always

Time for a Christmas update :D

RS-this build is Amazing & perfect.The headers would make outstanding leg's for a glass top coffee table.:thumbsup:

Ho ho ho...:_paranoid

Right now it is in the assembly room, body is on the chassis, and all the interior panels are being painted and wiring is underway as we speak...

Easily my favorite build of yours yet. That car checks all the boxes for me. Great job.

That last picture you posted is sweet. WHat a sight to walk into every morning. You call that work?! ..............so jealous.

I would pay you for the opportunity to push a broom around there for a couple hours each day!

Jeff-

When can you start???? You may have to fight off Weld for that position. I hear he has deep pockets do it might be a hard battle to win!

I don't have any money,to pay to push that broom. BUT!!!!! I can fire up a pretty good B-B-Q grill.And that should be worth more than Greg Weld's money.:rofl:

Wow, that place is way over full !

I'll bring the hauler up and get a couple and store them in my garage for the time being... I'll start them up often and exercise all the systems so they stay fresh.

I'm just down here in Indy - not very far away !!!

Here to help, proud to serve !
