32 5 window

[cheyenne93]

This is my first attempt at doing a chopped top. Think it's looking ok so far. The engine is a blown 572 chev. from Iceman.  Wheels are parts box. Headers are scratch built. Going to do a semi gasser kinda thing. Mabe leave it in primer, once I get that far. As always feel free to comment.

Looking great!  Killer stance and that engine......

[NOBLNG]

The chop looks just right.? Is that just part of a plastic drinking straw for a collector on the headers…good idea!

[customline]

That's a mighty fine chop! ?. Gotta stay tuned on this one.

That's what it is. From one of the grandsons juice boxes.

So got back to the 5 window. Didn't care for the first headers I built for it, so I built another set. Think they look better than the first ones. Having a warm up so hope to get it in primer. First set on the left. Second set right. Feel free to give input.

[Bainford]

Sexy pipes. I like the second set better.

[Dennis Lacy]

For your first chop looks like it turned out pretty nice! Car has a really tuff look to it. The second header looks much better. The sweep and larger diameter primaries make it looks really aggressive. 

[customline]

Yup, the second set. How did you make the juice box straw conform to the four pipes at the junction? It made me think of shrink-tube.

Well, on the second set I  actually used styrene tube. Then used pro weld to glue them. While styrene is still soft I shape it to the tubes with an awl. Then sand.

Pro weld? Is that a solvent type? The solvent softens the big tube enough to form it? It looks like the real thing. I gotta try that ? !

[Bullybeef]

Now it’s looking aggressive, I dig the headers as well. 

[mrm]

Looking really good. Are you going to leave it flat black?

A couple of interior shots before final assembly.

[NOBLNG]

The two tone interior looks nice.?

[Zippi]

Your 32 is looking pretty sharp.  I like the Hot Rod black and the interior color.  

[crazyjim]

Looking good.
