Hot Rods Cody Walls Builds 32 Ford 3 window coupe “The Ardun Killer “ .

Can we get a better look at your wishbone to rear end mount set up?

 

Just looked through this thread for the first time......looks pretty dang kool....

 

What GMC rods ARE those???

 

Nos Gmc 302 rods

 

Color me confused.... How did u get pic of valves/head at end of cylinders?.. Great build love it

 

I’ll post them once I get back to the shop

 

Thanks, Cody! I'm guessing that they're longer- any modifications to make them fit the 261 crank?

 

Marshall had to machine them down to fit the 261 crank ,, Ross pistons already makes a piston shorter to run these in a Chevy ,

 

Gotcha- have heard of using 261 rods in an early ('28 and earlier) Chevy 4, but nice to know that 302 rods might work as well and give even more squish

 

It looks like you found a Cyclone adapter too.
Is the bottom ring cut off like mine?

 

It’s loaned to me for mock-up until I can find one . This one actually has the ring broken off of it .

 

Block is upside down looking down through the cylinders from the crankcase.

 

Not familiar with that engine now notice bearing - of which there are only 4 instead of 7 I am used to. Tks for answering stupid question

 

I like it - especially the coach work you are doing.
Very trad.

 

That’s it, now you’re just showing off.

This was what the inside of the trunk lid looked like , and the main reason I got a new skin. It was pretty thin at the bottom . With the new skin I epoxied and painted the underside the put DynaMat between the layer before I put the two pieces back together











4” out

 

Sheeez' .. .. that is nice !!

 

Well said! @kidcampbell71!

 

On top of all the great work you're doing, thanks for the steady updates. You're a true craftsman.

 

^^^^^^what Rusty said x 2

 

What's this, no thongs or tennis shoes?? I cringe when I see people wearing beach clothes while building a car LOL...

 

The start of building my trailing arm rear suspension, I didn’t have room for hairpin out back . But I wanted to build a trailing arm out of Ford parts . And this is what I came up with . I know individually these rear arms are not strong , but welded together is another story . There not done yet as these are just progress pictures




The 40 bells were to short short for my application so I had to go with truck bells , there going to get Torino ends and 9”Axel , HotRod Works is going to be doing the conversion , and Walden kingmount brakes












Brassworks is building the Radiator for me , since the rad and grillshell are down below the front crossmember this will fix my issue with the lower rad hose
