Hot Rods Another Money Pit, but... Oh Well.

I was able to spend a little time, and mock up my frame. Still waiting on King Pins, to mock up the spindles. This weekend, I will set a SOHC Block, and Heads, a Lakewood Bell, and my Toploader, with a V Gate, in the mounts, and start on the Pedals.

 

Looking great Eric keep the great work.

Spent a little time, on my Project, and installed the rear end. I know I stepped outa the normal build, and went with a 9 inch, but I like them. 4.56 gear, Mark Williams Axles, and case, Strange Daytona Support. Thanks Front Range Driveline, for getting all this stuff in one place!

 

You been busy, Eric. Really looking good.

Mike

 

And NOW,the fun begins.I`ll saddle up and go along for the ride.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

Eric, Looking Good. Pat and Zack do a great job at Thunder Road Rod and Custom. I have one of their chassis under my 32 coupe.

 

Joe, Pat and Zack, were wonderful to work with. They Build nice stuff, and worked around all my needs.

 

After a Long Weekend, Because I work Sunday, at 4am, I thought I'd share a Happy Picture, of a 16x11 Halibrand, on the Willys Chassis. I will sleep good, tonight!

 

Oh baby!
Some like Picasso, some like Dali, I like Halibrand.

 

Eric, You must polish the Hals. It's only fair you experience the labor of love keeping them bright and shiny. Makes the car a true Gasser.

 

@Joe Troilo did I have a model of that car as a kid in about 1970???

 

I think the Gibbs Oil Look, is going to be my Choice. Mag Valve covers, and Blower intake, are natural, as well.

 

You can still buy models of the SWC Swindler.

 

"Wife hates it, already"..... We have a winner here!!

 

She hates them all, except her 48 F1 Project..... You won't even be able to enjoy, or Drive it..... Blah, Blah.......

 

Fresh Coat of Gibbs, on my Babies. New Skins, tomorrow...

 

Pure porn!!!

 

I like those!

 

Thanks Mike, I will have you up here, when I wire, and Fire the SOHC!!!!

 

Dream car, dream engine, dream wheels, dream project! Thanks for bringing us along.

 

Is that an early (1933) front axle or a dropped one? Great looking build. Bob

 

DAM, those wheels look great.

 

Tires are close, and I need to figure out what lugs, to use, on 1/2 20 Studs, against the Magnesium wheels.

 

money pit now but PLEASURE PIT when it's done!!!

 

And Clearly, not doing this for re-sale.....

 

Thank you, I have been looking to build on of these, for a while, and I lucked out, on a local Body, with Paper!

 

Long Day, I was at work, at 2am, came home, and my Wife and I got the Engine and Trans mocked up. I'm not 100% sure, of the fitment, but I will try to set the Body on this weekend, and get an idea of where things need to be. This is a First time kind of build for me, but I will move forward. And, the Firewood pile, is getting smaller...

 

Ya better hold on, she's gonna buck!
That will be one cool Willis.

 

Are you implying that it is cold there? I just got 4.5 Tons of coal so let it be cold here as that will last a month.
