My Traditionally inspired ‘40 Chrysler

[ThriftyT]

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.

Looks great. Where did you find those air cleaners. I like.

I made them.  Customized 35 Ford air cleaners.

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.

Did you have to tip your car on its side to get the exhaust in?

Ha. Dang.  Didn’t realize the pictures loaded like that.  I apologize. Will try to fix it. 

[ThriftyT]

Welp....  I can’t fix it.   How odd.  Sorry

[ThriftyT]

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.

Yep...

I'd say way too load...hard on my ears...?

Sounds great running wise!

I had cherry bombs on my split exhaust 47 Dodge.  Too loud for me.  Changed them to Turbo Tubes.  Quieter but still has the sound.     

 

[ThriftyT]

You know what they say....   if it’s to loud, your to o l d!

[T120]

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 .?

if its too loud, then toning down shows you are respectful of your neighbors...?

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.

[ThriftyT]

They are below.   Will have to open up the holes in the X member to run it thru.  Very doable

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.
