Dave-You are right, the things that look the cleanest and simplest or usually the most time consuming.

Bob-Yes, it's a motorcycle gas cap,I get them from a friend of mine, Matt Hotch, his shop is Hot Match Custom Motorcycles in Fullerton Ca.

Dave is right, it is the million little things that stand out as superb in the end. I wish I had the ability and patience to this end. What I do have is the ability to appreciate others like you Ken and what you put into your cars, as well as all the others on this site. You guys are my electric family who gi ve me ideas and help every day!

Trying to get the exhaust finished up. These are some of the pieces used to fabricate the exhaust, then you can see it going into the muffler. I haven't tried this before with a single muffler but I like the idea of not having two mufflers under the interior of the car. I have never had a street rod with air conditioning before so I'm trying to thing and eliminate things that would generate heat to the interior. There is three firewalls in it and each will be insulated, with the engine oil in the firewall I want to make sure the heat stays out of the interior. It's all three inch material.
Ken

WOW.. Sad to say it, but I am accually extremely upset! Simply because i ran out of stuff to read! I've spent the past 2 hours on THIS THREAD, drooling over your rod, ur creativity, CLEANLYNESS!!, and just the amount of work that has been put into this so far!! Ken you are my new found idol and this makes me want to quit my full time job and go do my OWN stuff! haha but all in all, you have caught a valued reader!! keep on making this thing an amazing creation!! ill be watching! looks amazing!!

Steve-I look forward to meeting you.

Tin-I hope it continues to be interesting for you, thanks for the nice words.

I got the dash almost done,I'm not done with the trim yet but close. This will match the theme of the interior when it is all done.

I'm starting to plum the dry sump. We made this adapter to go from the push in style hose ends to a AN style. Then I drilled my scatter shield for the -12 bulk heads. I will hard line the lines out of the oil pan to the scatter shield then stainless line from the back side up to the tank. I'm going to cut the ends off the lines that are in the pan and weld on stainless lines to the bulk head. The reason for this is I can't get tight enough radius on my bender to tuck it in like I want.
Ken

oops! I for got this shot

Very nice. Looks like an aluminum sculpture!

Looks great Ken!!!! The detail work is fantastic!

You've got to leave the body off of this car Ken. All those parts are too nice and interesting to cover up.

How is your Wife's healing and therapy coming?

Don-I would rather look at a chassis anytime than a complete car. I have posted this before,this is the chassis in my red car.
Ken

Ken nice to see the pics you posted. I can attest it looks better in person. Very well thought out and nice fabrication. I love the red chasis, I didn't think to look under it when I was there. Ken keep the pics coming, and next time you find your way to wine country, give me a call. Steve.

I have been working on the front of the frame, installing two air passages threw the frame for cooling. On the passenger side the air conditioning lines and heater lines will be inside the frame and on the drivers side the fuel lines will be in there, the main feed line and the return line. I want to keep all these lines as cool as possible. The air will go in threw the grille insert go threw the frame and exit in the rear of the car on the gas tank. I may build a heat sink in the frame for the fuel system, I'm not sure I want to go that for yet.
Ken

There's a giant spider looking in the windshield Ken, never know what shows up in the shop huh?
Is that the peice in place with the 2 hose elbows? No, different bolts, so that is going to be an fitted hoses? Very cool.

Steve-It looks like Sunday would be best for me, if that works for you.

Dave-Thanks, little by little.

Don-That's funny you say that, I would rather look at a real detailed chassis than a complete car!! She is doing better, it is going to take a while.

Brickman-That's the adapter, I just don't have the right bolts in it. The fittings that are in it are regular stainless hose ends, that's what I will cut off, using only the radius, then weld stainless tubing to continue to the bulk heads in the scatter shield. The SPIDER is another fuel and electrical set up. I wanted a different pattern on the lines but it turned out to be almost the same as the first one. I would have to move the distribution block to get what I want. I don't want to do that.

I picked up my seat today, he finished the foam work. Now I can set the steering column. Worked on the dash for a while.
