These heads do not have any Weiand markings or Ford part numbers, and when I cc'd them they are the same as stock iron heads. No other markings...
Exactly right - I made the blockoff plate to function as a fuel distribution block and gauge mount.
Thank you!
Thanks for posting the build thread. The details are all there.
Thank you - and thank you for your help as well!
Thank you - that means a lot. I hope you are out of the hospital soon and back in the shop and back behind the wheel of your 46. I've built all...

Thank you! The grill bar shell moldings are definitely an upcoming project.
Thank you! The photos in the shop are poor. I'll get some better photos this weekend.

The doors have been the most time consuming part of the chop by far. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Your painting advice has been very helpful, thank you. The paint will be fine when I'm done buffing. I wish I had spent the time and money on...

I got the wiring behind the dash finished up just in time to go pick up the seat. It was built up, patterned and stitched by Sean Kearney of...
Thank you - it has been a challenge to put together a set of instruments that work.
Dash assembly is nearly done but there is a lot of wiring left to complete. Carpet is in as well as the steering column. I've been waiting for...
