57 Chevy Getting Dirty - Done 2-10

[mercman]

Made some new exhaust dumps from some brass.



We didn't run generators, or alternators back then so I removed the kit belt, and made a new one from strip stock.


Added a torque chain, and got most of the plumbing done.


Here's a couple of pics for the fun of it. I see I am going to have to open the hood for air cleaner clearance.

Just about ready. A few spots to touch up, and a bit more detailing.

When I took off the side trim I just left the marks from my file in the plastic. After paint and decals, a little light sanding with paper, and steel wool, added a bit more to it. I still have to add a few dents, and bangs yet.
