    I started running the round stuff, brake lines using a drum drum jeep master. 2” exhaust started and some wicked upper torque links made to hold that pinion angle where it belongs at 3 degrees headin north bound

    It is! I sunk the seat as low as I could go and the floor panel is aluminum due to well I like aluminum and less weight means better gas mileage at 6 dollars a gallon give or take

    Oh and the seat and tunnel are 16 gauge. Makes making that tunnel easier and gives my buns some safety

    A low seat is both form & function! Sitting out of the wind looks way cool and is definitely more comfortable.

    No matter how many times Pete Eastwood says it, some guys install cowl steering anyway

    If you notice the steering is in front of the tie Rod of the split wish bone so maybe Pete won’t have a conniption. I’ll show him a 40 ford steering box is cooler than a mustang one any day too.

    I don’t always see the point in roll bars but the customer wanted one so here it is and tank getting fit with my 2” floor riser to allow for a flat floor. C24CD8BC-CA4D-4271-B996-3CF9015CC415.jpeg 50BB21AC-01F7-441F-B0F3-12F84D4BE305.jpeg D039A4BF-5818-4492-BE7B-44CD95B494D1.jpeg
    Oh and the steering wheel of the dreaded cowl steering

    Time for another update! I finished the exhaust, did the rear floor. Made a rear pan, bumper bar/ nerf bar. And got the external roll bar. Oh yeah and windshield set up is off to chrome
