Box is a Saginaw 605 P/S unit. Yes the pipes took some thought to route with the box/oil filter. I will take a pic for you.
It was not a stretch drop. I dropped the spindles myself.
Wiring is underway. I have a cover over the carb, just not in the pic. Don’t want to drop anything down it. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Got the axle from Sid. Great guy to deal with.
I mig weld. You can’t go hog wild. Small welds and cool to prevent warping. Also really close gaps are key.
Thank you!
The outside of the rear fenders were really rough. Multiple old fixes and very thin metal. I found the green fenders for sale. I think they were...
Thanks
Yep. Same Chris. Thank you for liking it. I was cool that the customer kept the patina. He likes my cars, they are all patina cars. Don’t have to...

This is what I ended up doing in case anybody is interested. Pulled out the V fender brace and put a curve it it to miss the hose. Cut a small arc...
Thanks guys, exactly what I needed to see. Much appreciated!
[ATTACH] Hi all, can anybody supply me with a pic of what the area circled in red looks like on a factory V-8? This is the V-8 latch but the hood...
Found this pic on the web. Looks just like the issue I have. Looks like he notched the front crossmember. [ATTACH]
Yes if my sway bar was not in the way unless this hose tucks up fast in front of the sway bar.
Do you have a picture you could share?
yeah I think I should get the front sheetmetal on and see where I am at. It is going to run an electric fan so height for the fan does not matter.
Lowering the sway bar is a no go after looking at it. I think my only resolve is to do a tight 90 degree on the rad opening and get it pointed up....
