Technical Could I trouble you for a measurement please?

Hello wise forum.
I have a 53 Bel Air that is missing the upper tie bar in front of the radiator. No big deal for me to make one, but I need the measurement from the center of both bolts where they bolt in to the baffles.
Thanks

 

No 1953 Bel Air owners out there?

 

Been a while, but I have been making some progress....

 

btt

 

I've got a '53 Belair, I'll go get you some measurements in a few minutes.

 

Already looks cool .

 

Hello wise forum.

Hello Peepes (easter reference)

Its been a few months, but I'm getter more progress done.

 

That's a very strange paint job. How about a close up and an explanation on how you did it?

 

It was my own version of what I saw on this TV show "welder up"

I started with bright silver. Then lightly brushed black vertical strokes all over. Then a candy red, Then a candy black.

I wanted something that looks like it came straight from "Hell"

I named her..... La Scorcha !

 

I like it but wouldn't it have been easier to paint while it was raining?

 

Just a quick update.
The engine has been brought to life. I think I should have used one of those fuzzy things over the mirophone, but you get the idea.
Its a 496 stroker with a medium cam and big aluminum heads.
