Made some New Zoomies

[rustylocke]

I saw some Velocity Stacks the other day and thought, that would make a cool looking header. So I made some. What do you think?

[clI like the flared ends and they look great on the engine!!

 

[rustylocke]

Thanks. I was going for something different than just straights.

exhaust looks great! on another note, any chance you got closeup pics of your front suspension? mainly your brackets for the straight axle and spring?

 

[rustylocke]

Hey 4drcaddy See if this helps. Original 46 Ford PU Axle. Angle iron with Batwing welded to it.

Looks good, very much like the ones I used to have on my truck!!

 

[rustylocke]

Rainman: Got any pictures?

 

[rainman]

I don't have a digital camera, well I just got one haven't figured it out yet!!

I hope to be putting some pics on here of my truck soon. But I never got any with the Zoomies. Now I have fenderwell type headers on it.
I liked the zoomies, but it runs quite a bit better with the headers.
Biggest difference between mine and you'res is that mine came out and slanted slightly rearward. I didn't have flares on the ends either, I like that!!!

Headers look nice but I was checking out the front suspension like 4drcaddy was. lol

Do you need different pictures?

Do you need different pictures?

How about giving a intro in the Introductions Forum http://ratrodsrule.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=26 with some full pictures of your project? So we all can say hello!

Pics of the front end

I personally would like to see the rear mount in double shear (plate on both sides of the joint) and put the shock mount onto the plate not on the upper batwing bolt. It puts a whole lot of side load on the bolt and wing. might fail down the road. Just my &.02. Pipes look good!

 

[rustylocke]

I have been trying to figure out a way to remount that front shock. Any ideas? On the back mount there is another gusset, you can't see it in the picture.

ah. cool. On the front shock is there room to mount it to the angle iron the batwing is welded to? so it is off the top bolt and down behind the batwing?

I'll check and get back with you.
