This is Lou's 30 Ford after the new Heidt's front end, interior and other work was completed.
The engine compartment houses the 350 ci that Lou built a few year back. We added the Edelbrock Endurashine dual quad setup.
We got rid of the full length headers and installed a pair of block huggers. With the new front end, we needed to change the angle of the steering shafts and needed all of the room we could get.
We made Lou a new dash and installed Autometer gauges. We also installed a Flaming River polished stainless tilt column, Lokar nostalgia shifter and fabricated a custom column drop to house the ignition switch and headlight switch.
No car is complete without The StreetRod Store window sticker.
The cup holders are nice because they hide into the dash when not in use.
This is a good look at the Corvair front end that was in Lou's car.
We took the front of the car apart and cut the old front end out. Make sure to check and mark you center line of your spindles before you take the old front end out.
Now that the frame rails are marked and braces are welded into place, the old front end can come out.
The new Heidts crossmember is welded into place and is ready for paint.
Now that the crossmember and frame rails have a fresh coat of paint, we are ready to put this beauty together.
The polished Superide from Heidt's looks great in Lou's 30 Ford.
Doesn't this look great?
Now that the frontend is finished, we can now put the car back together.
