Cool!~

 

Thanks dude

 

Nice looking 40 Chevy .

 

thanks bromigo

 

IS that the org. 216, what about frt. suspension . I would of figured there would be alot of rust being that far north.

GREAT FIND SHOULD MAKE A GREAT RIDE.

Fill us in on the drive line

 

Its the original 216 in there now with a 3 on the tree. I have a built 216 i would like to drop in. We took the body off it has no repair panels it was just dipped primed and sealed. the frame was sand blasted along with all chassis parts. It has the knee action front suspension instead of i beam axel. I sealed all parts and brackets. then i painted the frame and everything in gloss black and made it a roller. the under body is painted satin black. all brakes are rebuilt, tank, transmission, and much more. i did alot of work.

 

Nice man!! I'll be watching !

 

Thanks baby cobra
stay rad. trouble shooter nathan

 

I'm glad you got the photos to load,,looks like you found a very nice car. HRP

 

Thank you. Iv been looking for a while for a clean one. I need to finish up the 235 chevy i have. Then put the front end on it again. and do body work. It will be my second car blocking out. and painting this one will be gloss black.

 

Its gonna be sweet!!

 

Thanks brotha

 

great car headed in the wrong direction---BOB LOWE (builds custom harleys,or his son does)in springfield mo---drove the sweetest 40 tudor through high sckool---black and white rolled and pleated interior, beautiful black paint,goodyear white walls, headers, smitties, down just a little in front---skirted tail draggers have always had a small following as well they should...

 

Wow...way to be positive! Was there really any need for that post?

Anyhow solid looking car!

 

Thanks brother

 

If you build what you like and what makes you happy then your build is definately going in the right direction

 

Thanks jimmywicked. My plans are to have it done by this year August. The reason being is so that i can drive it to high school my junior year. And dont forget prom fellas.

 

Ok gents, I have been super busy lately. For the little time i get to go work on my car iv got alot done.
1.) Front sheet metal all hung
2.) Transmission linkages powder coated and installed.
3.) Dash primed and ready for paint, and the garnish moldings are getting chromed.
4.) Got my al-state Voltage regulator. Now I am looking for a Vintage hotrod coil to complete the ignition system.
And i have recently got the intake mocked up on the engine with the 94's i need to order adapters for the Chevy to Ford setup. I hope you guys enjoy. Nathan

 

Your making progress,,slow and steady. HRP

 

Sure am HRP. Im trying to figure out some stuff i want to do yet. Such as hubcaps (The Plymouth ones i ordered i don't like.) ,and the spotlights i want to do the appleton 112 model but they are pretty expensive. Also i want to decide what i want to shave on the body for a little mild custom.

 

Also if anybody has any nostalgic 12volt hotrod or custom coils id like to see them. Thats all i need to complete the engine bay.
