Stefan......you are inspirational.......you Swedes really know how to hot rod!! Hope I get to meet you the next time I come to the OSW!! Maybe you'll be driving this Shoebox!! CB
Wow, just read through all your work now. I am really impressed. You have got a lot of talent. You are totally reinventing the wheel on a lot of this stuff. Keep it up!!!
Thanks for all coments I have worked little on my flathead oil pan to my shoebox I have cut the old sump pipe and put in a new pipe of 15x1 pipeing it shall be welded. Her's the welded part ready for use /Stefan
Thanks for the coments I have fond(collect) some junk pipes on my work I have a lot of elbows in 42x1.5 [1.65"x.059"] and some in 54x1.5 [2.125"x.059"] and about 10m or little mors strait 42x1,5 pipe i have think to do headers to the blown flathead in 42 mm pipes /Stefan
Stefan, You should consider an additional attachment point on your pickup tube so vibration doesn't cause it to crack. You can drill and tap a main bearing bolt, weld a strap to the pickup and attach it to the bolt. The car looks great, the profile looks perfect to me. I always look forward to your updates. Kevin
Wow Stefan, i never seen this thread! The shoebox has a great profile, and the quality of work is really high. You also have a garage full of nice cars! Edsel wagon, vw notchback, 66 Olds....you lucky sunuvabaitch!
