Finally got around to installing Alex's awesome Notch kit into my 54 chevy. After starting after work on saturday around 6pm till 11pm and 4pm to 12am on sunday it is in. Now I just have to get my 4x4 S10 rear in with the triag 4 link and bag brackets and my rear is done, and order up the mustang II ultra low kit and my chassis will be done .
Yeah I think Alex's notch kits are one of the best on the market. But then again, I am a little biased because I work for him.
Everything fit spot on with no real issues. Although the bottom box peice could be longer to cover up the stock frame better .
It should extend down to the bottom of the origanal frame leaving a space about the thickness of the plate to give you a nice corner weld on the bottom. We actually just finished notching a 54 chevy today we are doing at the shop. Came out really nice. But once again it might just be me being biased.
On mine the rear is perfect for a corner weld, the front is a little larger than I would like. On custom stuff like this there are always variants. Alex's kit is just f'in awesome, I have done quite a few bag installs on modern machines and have never had luck with pre fabbed stuff but this was smooth sailing. Can't wait to tackle the 4 link this weekend.
thankxs for the plug guys we now have notch kits for shoe box fords 49-51, they will work on the mercs as well,and beleave they'll even work on fords up to 54
You know I'm a fan Just started another one myself...the time these save is amazing...so worth the money. Polytoxic...looking forward to those 4-link pics. Keep in touch. Bryan
looks good. step-notching the rear of my f100 (no kit). post more progress of the 4-link when you can!
hey Poly, if you're feelin' generous and want to help me on a 49 Chevy truck chassis swap I'm only just down the turnpike a couple exits I've gotta find a good donor S-10 first though notch looks great BTW.
Yes sir, El Gambino hooked me up pretty quick for all my air ride gear in a weeks time as a matter of fact , so now I need to call in sick to work so I can install it.
Hey man if you guys keep up work like this everyone will want a "Gambinos Kustoms" notch. One of these days you guys will offer this as a bolt in I just know it! lol
Id be happy to lend you a helping hand with that swap. Let me know when you have all the parts ya need And thanks for the feedback guys. I just ordered the ultra low mustang II from alex today
