Customs 49-54 chevy engine compartments....

Here is our current 51 Fleetline......S-10 front clip, 10 inch engine setback....9 inches removed from the firewall

 

Wow this is going great. Some great stuff in here. I cant wait to get mine in the Garage and blow it apart.

 

Hotdamn Your car Rules. I really like it. Where did you get the cloth Wire??????? I need a bunch of it!

 

OG 54 yours looks great. I really dig it.

 

I think the name of the company is Brillman?

I have a catalog at the shop, I will look monday and see exactly what their name is and post their contact info. that said, they are kinda pricey but their stuff is top notch!

I went as far to use their old style connectors and cloth electrical tape, imo it really adds that extra bit of dialed detail their customer service is super good too!

and thanks again for all the compliments guys, ya'll gonna make me blush

 

thanks slamit ill post more pics soon.

 

Yeah those are the little things that I notice and really bug me. when I see a real nice period car with the plastic butt connectors and plastic tape or loom.

 

some pics of my 51 chevy coupe project -

 

Woo hoo, a chevy flathead!

 

Here's mine.

 

hey sixinrowjoe i dig stuff, how u get the red clear wire thought those wire holders i had the thoughtest time i give up and got the colth coverd ?

 

damn! sixinarowjoe, your stovebolt took it to the next level my friend!

looks killer!

esp your detail on your shifter selector!!!

I wanna get mine chromed soon

looks great, cant wait to see the car finished!

 

Wow,
Super clean

 

I really like how clean this one is. I really like the smooth firewall but for mine there is something I like about all the cool lines threre are on the chevy firewall. Kinda like art. I just want to smooth out what is already there and give it that hand built look where everything is perfect and smooth and flowing.

But Ness' chevy is a big inspiration. I would love to see a bunch of build pics of this one. I have seen some but more is good.

 

Your right up my alley with this one. There is not much i am gonna do different on mine. I really like the wimbledon white firewall and have come to the realization that If I want it done right I need to pull the front sheet metal off mine and do it up nice.

One of my favorites!!!

 

i dug for a while, but i couldnt find the other pics of his engine compartment, the fan shroud and everything is so smooth and perfect. damn those salinas boys.

 

Mmmmmmm...... CANADIAN PONTIAC VC's. I want some!!

 

okay i gotta ask, whats the deal with the air cleaner? and why does it have a holley in the first pic and an edelbrock in the 2nd?

 

I still got nothing new to show
Snows got me in a dither!

 

I thought i was having major problems with the Holley. It was the fuel pump.
I switch to the edelbrock which I like better.
the car is still under construction but is wired now
The car is actually a 52 Canadian pontiac which is a re-badged Chevy. The VC are 55-57 Cdn Pontiac covers

 

here is what I have saved

 

Yeah cole is a ruler!!! very clean work. I lived about an hour from his shop and never stopped in to check it out. damn!

 

is gambino running a 283? anyone know?

 

Yes

 

awesome, thanks. i could tell it was an early style block and powerpac heads, but wasnt sure if it was a small journal 283, 307 or 327. thanks man.

 

Firewall done and dropped my motor in. Dropped my motor in....

 

Fonzi, I havent seen your car in years...looks like it is coming along nicely. Cant wait to see more pics of it

 

Thanks man. It has taken years but I haven't given up. Gonna get er dun!
