Hot Rods Getting something done!

Not seeing the body in color I assume which is dangerous, that the body wasn't painted at the same time as these bolt on pieces?

 

The plan is to paint jambs and backside of everything then reassemble the car as far as we can before final paint. The door that has been sprayed is just a spare door skin wall hanger.
I am not a painter but I trust my guy.

 

Dammit this won’t work

 

OK I was going to hold this back till the end but it’s too cool not to share now. The hardtop is Crazy yet subtle

 

Are ya gonna run them 13" true spokes with the knockoffs?

 

Wow!!!

 

Man, that looks just like a candy apple from the State Fair, just want to take a bite out of it.

 

With hydros!!

 

Hell yeah brother! Come get me, we'll be like Cheech and Chong that looks good, did he have to twist your arm to let him get creative on it?

 

I just gave up. He has better taste than me. I said the tuck and roll interior had to stay, after that i just agreed.

 

I'm glad you "gave up". That looks so sweet. That is going to be so trick sitting in the sun. SO COOL!!!

 

Hope he doesn't charge by the gloss!

So how's the wife's kitchen remodel coming along?

 

OLD SCHOOL

 

Endless line! Off the freakin' hook, you've been holding that one back from us!

 

Yea, that top is very cool!

 

The WHOLE house was done before i started this latest round of the “ Chevy Shuffle” with the 56&57

 

SOOOO CCOOOLLLL

It’s time for some re-assembly before paint. Here’s the latest pics

 

Is that a removable trans cover in the floor? Awesome idea!

 

From the factory!

 

I hate to be negative here, with all of the nice comments, but those tail pipes aren't right. They're gonna drag everywhere you go

 

Had to scroll back to see WTF Lloyd was talking about. Yep, pair o' donkey dicks draggin'.

 

The painter calls ‘em wheel barrow handles.

 

It's just jealousy brother, look over me lol

 

Dang, I wish they carried that thru '62.

 

Scotty -
You have completely kicked ass on your 2 cars in the last year. Inspiration for me, thought I was gettin' it done on my stuff. Hope your wrist issue is coming along. You're going to need 'em while installing the Brown Sugar 327.

 

They did, you probably have to scrape off a bunch of sealer goo . I can’t remember how they were originally attached, screws i think

 

Recovery is slow but i am able to do light duty work on the 56 thankfully thats about all thats left. I added power steering to the 56 and that has been a royal pain in the arse. I think i have that about done now. I had to switch from the short water pump to a long, that about killed me because in my mind long pumps don’t belong on those cars. On the 57 vette The guys doing the paint are going to do more re-assembly than originally planned. So that is a big help.

 

Was the water pump switch because of the power steering addition? Im not familiar with them.
