Just adding to this, the height of the connector greatly increases its ability to resist bending. Connectors that span from the front to rear only are not nearly as effective as those welded to the pan, or even better, those where the floor has been cut and boxed tubing has been installed...

Those the Rocket Booster wheels? What sizes you using? Any more pics of em?

Nice build. Couple ideas... Not sure if you're keeping that carb or how performance oriented the build is going to be, but you may consider blending any casting marks out of the flow path...just noticed it on the pic of the booster you posted. Also, when polishing, you can save a few...

You want new or used gauges? Since you don't seem to care about period correct appearance, I like Autometer, and there's tons of used stuff available...

I'm confused...you're interested in who makes a windshield and gasket, but then you say you have a nice windshield...? Please elaborate. Gaskets are available from a lot of vendors - Google is your friend. Should be the same as a hardtop.

'Simple'. Depends on level of competency, but there is a lot of work involved, methinks. Not exactly the word I would use for it. This build looks like it's starting out awesome. Excited to see how it evolves. What's your timeframe?

Not sure what your budget is, but if you can swing it, I highly recommend a custom converter...no off the shelf unit will shine w/ your combo, and if you're gonna have the VB out anyway, please look into a brake. That little bit of lag from foot braking waiting for the turbo to spool is great...

Stock slant six...so only had one, I was in high school, and happened between shifts. Even if it had been in gear, I'm pretty sure you don't need cat-like reflexes to figure out what's happening and shut the thing down before it became dangerous. The car ran the quarter in like 20 sec at 60 mph...

Not familiar w/ built slant 6's is why I asked. I know I had a throttle return spring break on one I had once upon a time and figured the 1 bbl was acting as a built in flow/rev limiter...even WOT w/ no load didn't sound like many rpm. I always figured they were little more than tractor...

Not necessarily. What kinda rpm this thing gonna turn?

Excellent to hear you've gotten the welder sorted. Is this being built to drive across the country, or car shows, or autocross/open track events? Only thing I see that might be a potential issue is there seems to be a lot of flat sheet metal - firewall and floor specifically. Some beads...

Pretty sure your kids are gonna appreciate these kinda pics as they get older.:icon_thumright:

So what all did you fix/replace? You use the Sherman quarters? How was fitment?

Ditto, very attractive. Makin me rethink painting mine turquoise...

Excellent...subscribing...

You did put plenty of break in lube on that cam, didn't you? The pics make it look dry... Not meant to offend...just checkin'...
