First time out of the shop. From stock to this in 14 months. Still a long way to go but it's starting to take shape. I have to clearance the firewall a bit yet to get the body to slide ahead about 1.5" to center the rear wheel in the wheel well. In case you're not following me on facebook or instagram here's the details. 7" chop but only chopped the windshield 6" by cutting off the tops of the A pillars raising the header up into the roof behind the visor. 2" anti-section, sedan doors, reradiused the quarter windows. 1950 Cadillac 331/T-5 trans with 6x2's on a U-Fab intake I built. '32 heavy axle dropped by Titus, '36 split bones, '40 rearend, '37 pickup wide 5 brakes. This is my 2nd attempt at building a car like this, the first time I stalled and sold it to help pay for the house you see in the background. Not this time!
Forgot to add to the list that it has or is going to have a '32 gas tank, '32 firewall, '32 wheel wells, and a '32 cowl vent. Titus keeps saying to me "instead of putting all these deuce parts on a Model A, why don't you just get a '32"? Lol
welcome mike, hammered hotrod ! by anti-section do you mean raising the beltline 2" between it and the lower reveal ? gonna help with interior room...
The sedan doors. . . Man, that is a great idea- more room to get in and makes it all longer to fit the new wheelbase. Brilliant! Sent from my E6810 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Exactly. Removed the old subrails. Lowered them 2" and filled in the space with the new patch panels. There's a lot more work to it than that with structural work and stretching the doors but you get the idea.
Having put a '30 coupe on '32 rails the body is too deep for the frame's kick... Mike's anti-section lifts the panel below the deck high enough to allow leaving the rearmost body and frame rails alone... good stuff...
Thanks,Which one is it,They make so many,Did it fit behind the rail or did you modify it,Thanks Lucky
