You are correct for a factory build. This one is a custom...and will have various changes..disk brakes, chrome, flake paint, and don't forget billet wheels .....Sorta like Burger King!! My Way!!!
solder or the armature wrap as mentioned above. If you need flanges, styrene sheet or get some PE ones'
I drill the block out first then bend up the tubes...heres a set on my '31.....
George hit it right on...and on this one set that BBC way back for fan clearance and dimple the firewall around those heads.....
see my '56 SBC which is jammed way back...
Wow and thanks guys!!
I did make one error I said plastikote t235 white I meant T237.
I did get full even coverage over my grey base duplacolor filler/primer
My issue was needing 6 coats of white primer over the grey and seeing some detail gone
(defroster vents on my '56 del ray ) and as I like a white base for most metalics and pearls
I musta done something different but darned if I know what. I did reshoot the '56 and used a silver base over the grey primer
not quite as bright but no one will know!!
I agree 100% I got mine at Rockler supply....I love the convex ones!!!
I never build up putty or filler that thick...styrene and tenax with a good file......
