Projects 1941 Nash hotrod

Well, The motor is in and running, the body is on, and now all it needs is a drive shaft.

Heres a little peek at what Meltkamp (mark) and i did today

 

damn $125? despite all the rust that's a sweet find. keep up the good work

 

thank you

 

That looks really good, man!

 

Nice Work! That's cool color green too.

 

I sure do like those scallops.

 

Good to see a 17 yr old with that much ambition! It's lookin good, good luck on your build!

 

Hey Marty.I'm happy to see you got a motor.I also like the new scallops.When you get a chance bring that thing up the hill and stop by my place.i'd like to give the car the once over.By the way.Are you going to the HAMB and eggs next sunday?If it is a dry day we could tour to Fife as a group.Mike

 

Looking nice. Good luck getting it on the road finally.

 

At 65 I get to thinking that with todays young'uns into everything that doesn't amount to a hill of beans, where is this hobby/obsession going. After readin this thread I can see it's in good hands with guys like you still willing to dive into a project and just "get 'er done". I can't imagine what you'll be building 10 years from now but I'll bet us old timers will have to move over as you come blasting by.

Not so much of a "finally" so much as "again"

 

OH DAMN!!! every time you post an update on this car i like it even more than the last time, those scallops really do something for it, and i thought solid green looked perfect, you showed me wrong! this car just keeps getting better. what color are you outlining the scallops with?

 

love the paint in the sled in the back ground cool car!

 

Paint looks way cool! Can't wait to see more.

 

So i take it your a skidoo guy eh?

Took it all apart, cause the front end was bent over an INCH.

Take the motor out and they fall apart!

Polaris guy here

 

Well, here she is. Started lettering on the doors tonight. Just gotta mount my generator, get a drive shaft, and shes roadworthy!

 

Is there a reason for such a high rear end stance? makes the rear wheels look oddly placed... and surely cant help cornering or is it jacked up on that last pic?

 

Its got a rake channel with air shocks. It can go up and down 6 inches

 

wow, i like the new paint. hope you throw on some old rear tyres if you going to do burnouts, save the cheater slicks. oh and we would all like to see a vid of it doing skids. lol.

 

Ah right fair enough, i'm looking forward to seeing some pics of it outside and lowered down with the new paint

 

hows this?

 

Is that as low as it goes?

 

Good rake. If it was lower, it wouldn't be a rake. If you like a rake, as I do, then lose any thoughts of lowering it any more.

 

That's got a good stance to it.

 

i'm not bitching about the stance as it is on that pic, i like nose down stance like that but if you have 6" of up and movement surely that's not at it's lowest?

 

I dig the entire project...until ya put the number on the door

 

x2:

 

To each their own. If you look in old photos, it had a number since i got it. Its been my plan for ever.

 

Well, 2 different U joints later, a new driveshaft from the local junkyard, some wires and lines, and a few bolts...

ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!

Son of a bitch do 283s pull. Its a little louder now with the hopped up comp ratio. Needs some tuning, and has a few squeeks, but man o man am i happy to be behind the wheel again!!!

Pulled back into the house from a quick ( but at the speedlimit ) jaunt to the grocery store, and no more had my motor shut off when a sheriff pulls out in front of the house and sits.

That is, till a ricer goes zinging by.

Made my night!
