skymags: I did the same setup on my center grill. But I put the radio and the garage door opener behind the grill. I used magnets to hold it closed. I did have to shim the hinge to make the grill fit flush with the glove box door.

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
 

I’ve done this on like 10 trucks. I put the radio and dual USB power station behind. And I shim out the glovebox hinges out to match the bottom of the grill.

The end product looks super trick, I love it!

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
 

if the owner is delighted with the engine cover, thats great. personally I think you did a great job figuring it all out. I might clearance the center to the valve covers just so it has a break between the parts and shows some definition there. possibly some color would make the difference too. I realise it isn't done yet but I would personally roll the edges as well for a more finished look.
the dash idea is another great innovation to hide the modern amenities that we all kinda want. you could even hide a tablet in there so you can have it connected for engine outputs, speed, mapping etc.

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
 

we are painting the cover dark matte blue (interior color) along with the firewall and engine block. We will be putting black door edge guard on edges that touch the coil covers (for separation)

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
 

We built the radio faceplate
Unlike last time I wanted the USB flush, so a recessed plate was built and tacked in

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
 

Steven spent 4 hours deep cleaning the engine!
I think it came out pretty spiffy!
We tacked a couple nuts to the underside of the cover for proper spacing and then wetsanded everything

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
 

we completely masked the interior and firewall. Intending to shoot color today.
But about 4 oclock the compressor motor died. I’ve ordered a new one, but it won’t get here for a few days. At least the compressor died before we mixed the paint!

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
 

we did finish cleaning the egine and get it masked for paint

the first pic is the ITC AC bracket with the OEM alt bracket
Second is the ITC billet alt bracket
3rd is the ITC bracket pieces
Last is a pic of the bracket on my 58 Brookwood 6.2/LS3

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
 

We shot color today!
And man did it come out beautifully!
We still have the doors and harmonic balancer to do, but the big stuff is done

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
 

The dash really came out stunning!
We painted the engine covers and dash grills too

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
 

we even prepped and painted the engine block!

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
 

Is that ICT a high mount alternator bracket? VS the wider LS1 style?

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
 

no, it actually tucks the PS pump 1” closer to the engine. I’ll be using that bracket on this engine. Here’s a picture of that bracket on my 58 Brookwood

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
 

it seems that my camera is making it way brighter than it is to the naked eye.
The 1st one is a picture taken from my mechanics phone.
Next we have the refurbished master/booster

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
 

Then the center grill and glovebox door (glovebox still needs to be adjusted)
add the column

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
 

now add gauge’s

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
 

These are Harley Davidson headlight bezels, they are a bit small for your bucket. Absolutely love the eyebrow though!
These are your stock headlight bezels
The idea is to cut both of them down and graft them together
Don’t worry, if for some reason it doesn’t work out I have spare bezels, yours were beat up anyway

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
 

Spent most of the day reassembling the engine.
I put stainless shorty headers on it, with studs instead of bolts
Brand new water pump and straight thermostat housing
Tomorrow we’ll start pulling apart the front clip and modifying the core support

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
 

that dash came out awesome, and the blue is great

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
 

Thanks, we’re pretty happy with it

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
 

I decided I didn’t open the hood and see AC hoses

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
 

so we tucked them into the cowl
we made a flat, released plate
And put the bulkhead through the inner/outer cowl transition panel
Came out pretty damn slick!

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
 

Today was spent stripping the front end and modifying the core support
We did find a sizable dent in the right fender that will need to be addressed
The plan is tonget the chassis in next week to start working on it
