Projects Crosley (KAMICROSLEY) drag car build

Well we got the front end suspension hung and got the body tacked up into place where we would like it to be. There will be hardly any quarter panels left once we cut them out for the rear tires. We will be starting on the cage tomorrow hopefully. Ryan and I couldn't stop are tradition of sitting in the car as soon as it is possible to do so. Hope you like the build so far and thanks for looking!

 

Love that front axle, and the spindle mount wheels. Looking really good guys!

 

Remember... it is the Hot Rodder's code that every time you sit in the unfinished project with the steering wheel in your hand you must make "Vroom Vroom" noises... but I guess I need not remind you folks of that.

This thing is seriously cool !!

 

FYI..Front spring should not match the angle of the axle but it should match the angle of the radius rods..Visualize as the axle moves the spring as mounted will have to flex side ways..Just saying..

 

Well got a few more things done on the kamicrosley. Hope to have the body sitting on it within the week!

Subscribed, love seeing things come together

 

Can't wait to see the body on the chassis ...... so stop posing for photos and get to work!

Here's the body back on and got the quarter cut. Still needs some work but slowly getting there!

You should be able to come in under 2000 LBs as long as you stay away from heavy engines. My brother's Morris came in at 2150 all finished with 2"X4" .125" box tubing frame and a small block with powerglide.

 

Your Crosley is awesome !

 

Very cool build...93" WB will add the excitement!

 

Lexan windows, including the windshield will help keep the weight down too.

 

That's a perfect name for that car!!
It must be spoken not read.

Great job

 

Yea it will all be lexan Windows, full aluminum floor and firewall. It will have a sbc so no crazy big block. Should move pretty good.

What year is the Crosley ?

Will it be street legal too ?

 

49 or 50 I think and no it won't but the next owner could make it street legal if they wanted.

Its perfect !

 

It's always good to see another Crosley I have a 1947 I've only seen one other Crosley race car that was at mokan all I can say is get ready for all the questions is that an Anglia is that an early Volkswagen Crosley who makes that

 

Put wings on it and it will fly! It's sounding like it's going to be a handful circa the winged express.
