Customs My shoebox chop

I guess it is tough to work on the project when the weather is nice and your other toys are begging for attention. I know the feeling.

 

You are right

 

Now was it time for update



The shoebox is moved and have air in the tires



Time for take it out for the first time on 2.5 year it was taken in 01/02 09
and now is 01/08 11



out in the free air



I grid the most of the color away for it will be easer to blast the body



Some houres later on rear fender is blasted

Thats an excellent profile. I´d like to see a mock up with a front fender in place.

 

Just read this thread from start to finish. Great work Stefan. If you could bottle your motivation and sell it, you'd make millions$$$!!!.

/Stefan

 

That looks so right. She really looks like a car now and the balance is perfect.

 

Stefan, glad to see an update, and the car looks great, love that top.....Jim

 

Looking great Stefan !! Nice to see it outside !!

 

Thanks for liking my pics and build



There is little more blased



I have removed some of the old black coating on the inside of the car so it should be easyer to blaster it

 

Stefan, thanks for the shots outside. The profile is dead on......but I am not surprised.

 

Any updates?

 

Looking good Stefan! I'm about ready to get back to mine soon!

 

I have not have time to work on my ford for a wile
But sone as i begin there will be new pics of the build.
I think to begin to put togher the blown flathead when i get the block from borring.
And i have fixed pipes to stainless steel headers.

Hey Stefan, have missed you on here. Will be glad to see more updates when you get started.....Jim

 

any new pics

 

I have a little update

I have been bad to work on my ford

I have take a look how the oil pan fit in the frame togther with r/p steering gear



my oil pan is to a truck not a shoebox so is inposeble to fit with out modification even with original steering gear



I must do some cuting in the pan



I have some more space in the front

/Stefan

 

Yes! Pics. Whats next on the list?

 

Seems like we all slow down at some point, glad to see the update....Jim

 

Thanks for liking my build

I have cut little in the pan



I cut the rear end of the oil pan



Then tested i the cut pan in the car for see if have cut enough

the pan will not be very big but the oil now is better in to not be slugde in.



ome ide is to use a honda civic oil filter under the oil pump so the oil will completly filtrade and it will give easy piping.
Only a pipe up to the top of the block

/Stefan

 

I have think to do like this with oil filter adpter



Hole in the bottom of pump and throu the pan and plug up in the top of the pump

/Stefan

 

Stephan, you come up with some great ideals. Will the oil pickup still be in the stock location, or is this also being changed?...Jim

 

very interesting

 

Well done.

 

I must move the oil pickup from stock location.

/Stefan

 

Nice man! Great job

 

Thanks for liking my shoebox build

I have made som parts to the oil filter system to the flathead



The filter holder for the Honda Civic oilfilter



The tread for the filter is M20x1.5.

The filter is have a size of diameter 68mm and a legth of 85mm so it is easy to fit

/Stefan

 

Is the filter on the suction side or the pressure side?

 

The filter will be on the pressure side and it will go a pipe up to upper oil chanel.
