More pics on brackets

Re: 56 Chev Garage build
 

Nice work on the brackets, they look factory made. And yes I'm back on active duty flying the C-17 Globemaster. My guys at Edwards are doing the same along with lots of other cool stuff you see everyday!

Re: 56 Chev Garage build
 

Thanks agian Chuck, your build was always one of my favorites. Especially the dash. I am going with stock set-up only cause my Gauge panel is really nice, I also have a billet type I got off craigslist for $40 in a package. Going to use it as a back up with quick disconnects. If cannon plugs weren't to pricey I would do it like a Jet. :ito:

Re: 56 Chev Garage build
 

Thanks Kabwe, was going to use fin valve covers but ever where I go they seem to be over done with retro look going on now. So I modified the stockers that came with gm block my brother bought.

Re: 56 Chev Garage build

Nice job on the Air cleaner & valve covers, is that chevrolet emblem in the pic going on the covers?

Re: 56 Chev Garage build
 

Yes it is and it will go on if I dont scratch the paint!

Re: 56 Chev Garage build
 

Nice idea dude!

Re: 56 Chev Garage build
 

What is the air cleaner made from? Alum or stainless? it looks like what I have, and i am trying to decide what to do with it. Love the look of what you did.

Re: 56 Chev Garage build
 

Aluminum that is why I bought it, I knew I was going to paint it. :ito:

Re: 56 Chev Garage build
 

Never ending body work also scored on hub caps new for $60 on craigslist!!:metal: Cleaned off the rally's they looked like dirt, if anyone is interested the front beauty trim rings are GMC safari van and rear are corvette 70's rally they both are rounded at edge!!:ito:

Re: 56 Chev Garage build
 

Forgot the pic's duh!

Re: 56 Chev Garage build
 

Need to upload pics

Re: 56 Chev Garage build
 

Today I modified rear crossmember for mustang gas tank. I used a 2 x 2 angle iron. Sorry about the bad pics the camera died had to use phone

Re: 56 Chev Garage build
 

Here are some more gas tank pics. I didnt bother grinding inside weld cause it wont be seen anyway.

Re: 56 Chev Garage build
 

Outstanding work. Did you cut and weld in the angle iron so the lip of the tank had a place to sit? What year tank is that for? I've got to start taking more pictures. I always seem to forget to take the before shots of mine.

Re: 56 Chev Garage build
 

Yes the crossmember was cut out to get rid of swoop and it gives the rear of tank a place to bolt on flush fit. It is a 1967 mustang tank new on ebay I think I paid less than $50. here is a link wih better pics than mine.

Re: 56 Chev Garage build

Re: 56 Chev Garage build
