Just the way it is, Cool Factor is gonna be off-scale!
Very nice indeed! I especially like the header pipe mirror mounts and I hope this truck gets smoke stacks. The pine needles are also a nice touch!
Thats about where i grab some welding rods and the arc welder.Freddy got my mount pads made. Yall try not to laugh too hard at my welds. After the first pass on the driver's side vertical to the frame, I ran out of gas. I'm gonna get a refill after the first of the year, grind the crappy welds off and reweld them. But for now I went ahead since I needed to mockup everything to see how it fits. Fits good, too.

I dont arc weld much, so its my backup, unless im welding sheet metal.
Things are a little different for me, too. “Shop supplies” are pretty vague, and its buried in my hourly shop rate. So business supplies all my welding stuff, body filler and abrasives. Essentially, a shop expense. i should have started this business 20 years ago.I got my trusty little mig. I'm outta gas right now though. lol

Very cool. What size Hemi?
I ended up putting a slant 6 and 4 speed in my '49 Fargo.
I have a 330 DeSoto Hemi, but it's headed for my '58 Plymouth Suburban 2 door wagon.
These are the only others I have.I would love to see more pictures of that.
Those look awesome man. Can't wait to see it in the truck.We dragged the rat truck out from the side of the shop and I've done a little work on it. Reprimed the engine. Took the valve covers off because the paint is peeling off. I also SOAKED the valve train with Fluid Film. Timed it up and stabbed the distributor in. Bolted the starter on it. I'm going to start working on the zoomie headers and the steering shaft. I need to get it runnin so I can sell it, or so I can enjoy it. Here are the valve covers. I used a high quality primer filler this time, so I think I got it. @dartfreak75 will like this.

Go look at post #1. lolThose look awesome man. Can't wait to see it in the truck.
Is that an old first gen Hemi? Great build!Well...well.....well......A "touch up" ended up being an entire repaint. Two cans. Same part number. Same Chrysler blue name. Totally different colors. It ended up a shade or two darker, but I like it. Plus, I ain't doin it again. lol
