Doing a few on mine this Winter also. Have a set of custom front coil overs being made, then a Detroit Locker goes in, and last the 8 point roll bar. Not sure who want this project to be completed more, me or my wife ------------------

Looks great Steve I want to get my 700 dp carb working better this winter. Install the used MSD AL6 unit I'm getting. Get some 2.5" mufflers with 3" or 2.5 pipe to the mufflers to replace the 2.25 pipe and mufflers I have now. And if business ever picks up. I want to put some 3.80 gears in. I also need one more 15x8 rim and some sticky tires.
All it takes is money. ------------------

Joe,, Those hoses look great,, and don't think they'll be going anywhere..Every winter,, my plan are to get caught up and get everything done one 6T6.. But,, it seems most of the winter is spent shoveling snow & just putting the pieces back together that broke last year..
- repair fenders and new paint
- rebuild T-5
- build up 9" (Steve,, I'll send you a note about the 9".. It's buried in 2 foot of snow right now..)
- disc brake conversion.. And it's so damned cold I have to put on 3 layers of clothes to go out and work on him..  Got to do a complete paint job after tweaking my front fenders last summer.. Could have gotten away with just doing the fenders,, but them damned FLAMES are in the way.. ------------------

Thanks guys. Yeah, I am really happy with how they turned out. My plan was to get them Jet-Hot coated but I love the natural polished look. I may take a chance and keep 'em this way and see how they hold up....------------------

The hoses look great, are those stainless? Guessing the motor mounts are solid, those hoses probably don't flex much.

They are made of mild steel straight pieces with cast steel weld elbows. We smoothed out the welds and had the whole deal polished. The rubber sleeves handle the transition from one peice to another. The engine is mounted solid with motor plates. It doesn't move.------------------
