I did CF hydrodip on my cobra valve covers and other engine pieces it turned out really good. If u ur into CF it would be a very nice touch on ur build. I'll see if I can post a pic. I'm new to the forum so bare with me! Lol

My bezel is hydro dipped. I got it from mid fifty with the gauges. That is a great idea about the valve covers. I think I will definitely look into getting them done. Thanks!

New windshield, rubber, and chrome trim. Pain in the *** to install lol.



The back window was much easier. Thanks for the help Al's mobile glass! He also cut me out my 1 piece side windows

I have the heat exchanger mounted in the front roll pan. I had my buddy cut off the nipples and weld on the -12 AN fittings since I decided to work overtime to buy fittings lol.



The front. Hopefully on the truck soon

I finished up plumbing the power steering, got the lower supercharger pulley torqued and found a blower belt that fits. Time to start putting the front clip on

Beautiful job! If I had the funds, I'd love to put a Coyote or Terminator in my '54 project. It's designed as a driver, but I'm looking at supercharger options for my lowly 4.0L.

Thanks! I almost ended up with a shafiroff 427 Windsor, but I wanted the t56 trans and fuel injection. That's how I ended up with the terminator. Forced induction can only help.

Front clip coming together



The cowl vent gasket is a nightmare to install!

Not yet, but I've continued to work on it every chance I get. It would probably be easier if I wasn't building 3 projects at a time lol

Got my upper radiator hoses figured out



Had to cut off the slip on inlet, and welded 2 -12 AN fittings. Also got the ports welded in for the fan temp and water temp sensors

What headers are you running? How do they compare on worth to the factory manifolds?

That is looking fantastic! Glad to see you are still making headway! Still can't believe that slick polish job on your paint!
