Well we're Green and we're Gold, and we play better when it's cold. All us Cheese heads have our favorite superstar. We love Brett Favre.

Paint it rust colored and you have an idea what it might look like.

Years ago and I really hate to date myself, we called those Chrysler V-8's, not Hemi's, rather Double Rockershat Engines. I hate trivia.........

That car really *needs* a well sorted DeSoto Firedome Hemi under the hood. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/Vt5At8Y.jpg) That's cool, but it's a different build direction from what the car owner wants. I'm on board with all traditional hot rod power plants, flat head, early hemi, rocket, nail head etc. But this is more of a resto mod. Current day hot rod guts.
Something clever here.

Honestly Bristoe, I like those types of engines the best in open engine builds. They are beautiful and I like em the best when they are on full display, all the time.

Sir Dave, does the sheet steel come with the blue "finish", like bars, and angle irons?

HRS will, we are working with CRS (cold rolled steel). It's nice and clean, forms nicely too.

That finish on hot rolled steel is actually scale. It'll play hell with a TIG welder. In fact, hot rolled seems to contain a lot more impurities than cold rolled. A TIG weld will find 'em everytime.
Hot rolled machines pretty, however. The proper grind on a carbide tool bit in a flycutter will make it shine.

I thought about that soon after I asked. I've never bought cold rolled sheet, I have round stock. What gauge did you use?

made a new console. Car owner decided he wanted a little more elaborate console, metal, painted body color. ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/Mobile%20Uploads/20180713_155328_zpsgr7cuoak.jpg) So we joined it up with an AC shell that we also built. ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/Mobile%20Uploads/20180713_162002_zpsrydwaqch.jpg) I'm cutting a hole for a touch screen stereo with navigation, backup cam etc. ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/Mobile%20Uploads/20180801_131752_zpsz5632stn.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/Mobile%20Uploads/20180801_131807_zpsbhscgbkb.jpg)
