Bonehead is back to work

[Bonehead]

Motor in, body back on.

 

[Bonehead]

Roof off

 

[Bonehead]

How low can you go?

 

[Bonehead]

Clearance around the tranny, and I was a little tight on the firewall on the drivers side. I forgot about the forward tilt of the cab, and the head was just kissing the firewall. A litte body work and it is as good as new.

 

[Bonehead]

A 4 core aluminum radiator should cool it, I hope.

 

[Bonehead]

Making the tiedowns for the radiator.

 

[Bonehead]

And some artsy stuff. I think I can use the grill without sectioning it.

[Bonehead]

Are you going to have enough room between the motor and front axle to wedge in a radiator? Might have to place it in back. [ddd

I may have to put in a smaller engine.

[cl[P[ nice work

Thanks

[Bonehead]

Now we get down to making it look like I need to make it look. I like the hard top convertable, and I have been thinking of making the bed come on and off. So that got me thinking about a hood, and hood-less.

What do you guys think of this look?

Thanks for the heads up, I'll look tomarrow.

I like the hood...a lot! Gives it the look of an early altered.

 

[Bonehead]

Thanks, Gas. I have been looking at his hood on version all day, and it looks great. It is sitting on the top of the engine, with no carb, so it will need a scoop. The radiator is going to be tight too, but doable. I would really like to be able to run either grill. Top of the hood is really low.

Here is one of the things I got done today. Nerf bars to weld the roll bar to.

 

[GJunktionMike]

The hood fits that real nice, would look cool with the carb sticking out of the top with that MR Gasket scoop you picked up. Only it kills the first grill set up you had planed.
