Nice work. It looks like a previous owner liked the idea of a stack through the hood. ------------- 1937 WC, 1950 CA, 1959 D14, 1967 190XT, 2006 Ram 3500 |

Looks good so far Jesse. My 35 is done except for the sheet metal. Finally got it running right last month after going over all the things that I paid to have done wrong. My hood looked way worse than that so I'm using a different one. Mine had a notch cut with a tin snips from the front edge back about 5 inches and it was probably 4 inches wide, just so they could put a temp gauge in. I'm going to have a temp gauge in my 35 but it don't need that big a hole.
