Flathead on the orange PU truck looks interesting. You have a good photo of how you did the intake?

Geezerman, here's a picture for You. Unfortunately my camera didn't allow me to take a better pic of the intake :'(

I used a stock intake and mounted a compressor on top, then did some intake tubes for the 4 carbs using Evergreen material.

Chromecop, did you save any of the pictures from your builds ? i'd like to see a tutorial on how you sectioned your '49 Fords. it doesn't look like you've disturbed the wheelwell openings in any way and, you have me curious.

Sorry Duane, at the time I (first) built the '50 Ford digital cameras still hadn't been invented! It was sectioned about 2,5 scale inches ABOVE the rear wheelopening. The front wheelopening has been enlarged. In the rear it was cut below the lower trunk-line and in front below the grille-opening.

ok, thanks. i got an idea how i want to section my '49 and i'm thinkin about "Z" cuts around all wheelwells and straight from front to rear just above the bodyline. hhmm, i wonder if that'll work? i've got 10mm masking tape and am thinking about sectioning the width of it. i suck at math, so i don't know what the conversion would be(scale inches).

However, IMHO 10" would be quite much and probably it'd look better if You took away about 4-5" in scale (i.e half the width of your tape)

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!

rickcaps55: Thanks Ed i have had this one for a long time got it as a kit that was stared but never got to it i have to say it was on the shelf for the last 15 years i guess it's time to get it going.!!! Jan 22, 2024 14:53:00 GMT -5

41chevy: Yeah I'm leaning towards the Torino as a Winfield /Starbird style idea car like the Ford Custom Caravan would have commissioned. Jan 23, 2024 13:53:42 GMT -5
