Hey Ken, I sure do like the beefy cowl support!!!!! Should keep all the twisties and shakies out of things in the dash!!!!!

hey ken, ... I could do your interior for ya! hahaha, We are currently in the middle of a 34' vikky. jp, im sure urs will turn out beyond perfection!

Dave-That's one of the reasons I chose the Dearborn.It is really a rigid body. If you get a chance to crawl under one you can really see the thought that went into the construction.

Tim-If you can post some photo's of it when your done, I would like to see it. I'm always in the wrong time zone when someone offers to help

Ken

haha will do! what are you plans for your interior?

Ken looks great. Sunday best for me too, will give you a call Friday once I'm down there or saturday. Looking foward to seeing this car and the truck!

Hell if it's help you want, throw out the cot I'm on my way!! Spending a week in your shop learning from you would be like a vacation to Disneyland to me! Like a trip to Hotrod Heaven!

Hey Brick, I'll go along and we can make it a shake down run for the '48.

If anyone is going to the Good Guys event this week end in Bakersfield Ca. stop by our booth and say hello. Mike and Colleen are there (a little water cooler action going on I think) or if you are going to the River Run in Laughlin Nevada see Charles, Elliot, or Scott tell them to give you a T shirt.

Tim-It's going to back dark Grey and darker Grey (my wifes choice) with some thin chrome trim going threw the kick panels and door panels. I'm not going to have any carpet in it it will be all leather on the floor with chrome strips where the wear areas are. I will use floor mats for everyday use but if I show it I'll take them out.

Brickman, NTFDAY-Come on out I'm getting tired !

Ken

well im looking forward to seeing it! but ill just stay content in watching your process!

I don't know how to explain this, if this doesn't make sense just ask questions. What I wanted to do is make a cold air system for my motor. I'm sure that Pat and all you guys that build motors have experienced the advantage of cool air. I have been dynoing a LS7 for a while now and have learned a few things. It likes to run hot, it likes cold air and it really likes cold fuel. So I want a happy motor
With side panels on my car, the engine compartment temperatures are going to be very high. I really have not seen any air filter system I like for throttle body's and they all are using under the hood inlets. So I decided to try and make a cold air system for this car, and pretty much hide it from the outside. Since will run the hood and side panels most of the time. So here it is.
I just whacked out the front of the cross member and found a filter that would slip into the frame added on to the cross member to get the strength back. The front plate isn't in there yet but it will match the back one. Built it's own little housing to slip into.
Ken

Then all you have to do is turn some 4" round tubing into an oval and run it into the bottom cross member and you should get some cool air.

Very ingenious and the filter looks a lot like the one on my wife's Concorde. My only concern would be road debris sitting as low as it is. Have you thought about somewhat squaring off the bottom of the inlet similar to the engine inlet on 737's? In their original configuration they set so low to the runway that picked anything up in close proximity. The fix was to flatten the bottom of the intake and angle the engine up in respect to the wings. Just a thought.

Now you tell me, where were you 2 weeks ago You have a good point, I always wondered why they were flat on the bottom, I thought it was just for ground clearance didn't think of debris.
Ken

I forgot this one, also the radiator hoses? they are really made of stainless tubing are all done.
