The "Twinlite" logo headlamps are repro's of Ford 9 inch "commercial" units.  They include a directional bulb.  We used amber.

Visibility to the rear is limited so side mirrors are critical.  These Billet Aluminum units are from Valley Auto Acc.

These billet units are from Big Al's.  The wiper motor/cable control is from Specialty Power.

A B&M Transmission Oil Cooler mounts angled under the passenger seat.  Stainless braded lines route oil from trans.

A "3rd" brake light is molded into the body ridge just below the rear window.  a "modern" touch.  Red light about license plate also illuminates with brakes.

Garage Floor (Click to See Page)

Spent lots of time on my back while building the Street Rod! Covered floor was a big help! Instead of epoxy,  used 1/8 inch thick tile (Lowes).    Less work than epoxy, not subject to peeling. No acid wash, just a dry clean surface needed.

Have a Welder?   Improve Weld Starts and Have Shielding Gas Cylinder Last at Least Twice as Long! 

Note: Our Patented GSS is Not Available in "Stores"

A home shop fabricator in Georgia with a Miller ^TM 175 amp welder purchased a 50 foot Gas Saver System ( GSS^TM ) so he could use a larger cylinder and mount it on the wall of his shop.  He wrote:

A Professional Street Rod Builder Had This to Say:

With their standard MIG welder gas delivery hose the peak shielding flow at weld start was measured at 150 CFH. That caused air to be sucked into the gas stream causing poor weld starts.  With the GSS replacing their existing hose, the peak flow surge at the weld start was about 50 CFH.  Total gas use was cut in half.

Kyle Bond, President, quickly saw the improvement achieved in weld start quality as a significant advantage!   Kyle, an excellent automotive painter, was well aware of the effects of gas surge caused by pressure buildup in the delivery hose when stopped.  He has to deal with the visible effects in the air hose lines on the spray gun in his paint booth!  The paint surge is visible and creates defects unless the gun is triggered off the part being painted!  We can’t do that with our MIG gun!
