Projects My '54 210 section and chop

Had time to set the gearstage in today. Had to trim the center section because of such a tall gear setup. I'll get a picture up later today.

 

Unreal talent... love it

 

Thank you.

 

Decided to show off my third member this morning. Had to clearance for the ring gear bolts and limited slip because of the tall 3.25s I'm running. I decided on that ratio because of the short 24-25" tire I'll have to run to fit the low profile of the rear quarter.

 

Holy crap.....how did I miss this....a chop and section in a week! Damn....very cool...I can't wait to see the finished product....but please keep the hood closed haha

 

Haha. Thanks. I'm going to do my best to clean the electronics off the engine.

 

Love it!

 

I hope you have a good glass man,that back window's gonna be a mother.Subscribed!

 

Thank you.

 

Hopefully it won't be too bad. It's a chopped 55 chevy truck windshield flipped around.

 

Got the stearing knuckle remake back and it's a perfect fit.

 

Had to cut and notch my short shifter to add the new chrome shifter to it.

 

I believe Dan Landon's Chevy windshield was chopped less than the top itself, carrying the glass back into the roof.
The same was true for the Matranga Merc.
Food for thought.

 

That's an interesting thought. The first chops I ever did I set the windshield down in the cowl.

 

We took 2 inches out of my Chrysler WITHOUT chopping the screen, we laid it back an inch and then took an inch above the windscreen.

 

Unreal! One thing for sure, you're not afraid to jump in with both feet!

 

Spot on topic!
How 'bout some pics, ehdave?

Both feet? More like head first!

 

Haha yea after I did one I no longer have any reservations.

 

Its still far from finished, when we cut the section out of the roof above the windscreen we left a strip and stepped a flange for the roof skin to overlap.

At the base of the pillar we cut a slit to allow it to lean back, surprisingly it didn't take much lean to lose an inch in height. It will probably need some work at the lower, centre section of the frame near the cowl vent to get the frame fitting the windscreen properly but I'm waiting on a new seal to work with.

 

and the big question....where did you get your glass cut down?

 

a saw, cut off wheel, welder, man on a mission, and a drive way, this is what its all about! beautiful vision and skills my man!!!! i LOVE IT.

 

Bad ass! I'm sectioning my 54 right now... Insane amount of work! Check out my post.

 

So sick! That's moving right along.

Sorry I've been gone a while. Started working some more. Here is a few pictures of recent work. Got the motor mounts in and started working on the front suspension.
