My Traditionally inspired ‘40 Chrysler

Steam cleaned everything, mounted all the manifolds and heater lines.  Set up some fuel lines.  Exhaust is 90% done.  What is done is painted.     Need to finish exhaust, carb spacers/linkage one fuel line and a vacuum line.  So close.

Finished the exhaust today.  Turned out great thanks to the help of my buddy at Kell Kustom.  Started on the carb linkage.  Should be running in 2 days.   Seriously cannot wait.

It’s Alive!!!    Finished up the linkage, and buttoned up several other small pieces.   She’s a bit loud.  But will see where that ends up.  Maybe some porters.  Has a bit more pep.   Super stoked.  Lots of thanks to @Kellkustom.   Did a lot of the work for me.

I kinda like the sound...Personally, much preferred to the sound of the "tuner cars" that are popular with the younger,drifting cowboys these days .?

I like your exhaust setup and plan on doing something similar to mine.  Are the pipes flush with the lower X section of the frame or do the pipes sit lower? Reason Im asking is that my car, when airbags deflated, will sit on the frames X section and wondering if the pipes will fit without hitting the floor.

Car is looking sweet! Does anyone repop those '35 ford air filters?

Thanks.   I don’t believe so.  They are not stock.  I did quite a bit of modifying to them.   I actually want to find another good one, the 1st one is in tough shape.  The face was crushed a bit.  Got most of it out, but it’s rough looking.
