Man those step tanks came out awesome they look really sweet and the air cleaners are just amazing, there really is alot of talent here on the board.

Also i was wondering (if its not a trade secret) is there a build thread or possablly one you may do to give your pete's that pete look? I was wondering what you did different on your cabs and such, so maybe this old feeble mind could learn a new trick or 2?

Again excellent work Brian!!!

Thanks Mike! The Pete cabs have alot of altering dome. First I extend the cowl out 1/4 inch, during this I also square off the cowl a little. The cabs that were used after the 359's were like this. Then I re-angle the windshield 1/4 in the middle. This is the hardest part. then I raise the roof (dome it) about 1/8th of an inch. If you look at the first page of the thread there are some pics of it there. Thanks!

Brian
