Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by LeaBlender, May 9, 2011.

  1. Great project! Hoodlums Worldwide.;)
     
  2. It will install a 302 engine with almost 300 hp, keep in mind that the Southern routes are not the same as North :eek:

  3. Hey guys, I commented that it is ending with the chassis, only some details remaining laburar and now with the cabin!



    I leave what has been done lately images on the front:

  5. Veo que viene rapido el tema Lea.... , yo tambien pense en poner un eje de chevrolet una vez pero luego deja la idea atrás porque era para una baquet Ford A para bajarla un poquito de adelante y al poco tiempo arme todo original para no tener que laburar tanto con el eje delantero y cualquier otra cosa que se pudiera presentar trás colocar el eje de chevrolet... Buena suerte con el proyecto...
     
  6. Nice Evel... milanesas con papas fritas...
     

  7. Thank you very much for the comment! when you want to send a packet with Milanesas stuffed with ham and cheese! are explosive!

    Keep posting progress pictures for our enjoyment. You are off to a good start on a fun truck. Other pics of the car scene would be great too!
     
  11. Hello friends from the north! I commented that it has completed the work relating to the chassis, the last weekend I spent positioning the cabin, as pedal, making the ends of bolts and final details.

    The next weekend will continue with the chopper!!!

    I attached pictures of the process:

    I like those pedal arms. Are you going to leave them open like that? Thats pretty cool. Like the diamond plate too.

    Very cool build! Just one comment; the rear radius arms mounted to the outside frame rails, and rigidly connected to the rear axle are a concern. One may break if you drive on the street as the rear axle articulates over bumps/uneven surfaces. OK for drag racing on flat surfaces, but driving on streets may become a problem.

    Absolutely amazing! I am enjoying the engineering going into it. Do you have brakes and hubs for the chevy axle. It is my understanding 51-54 will fit but need a spacer. Not sure what the spacer is. I have 38 chev p/u in my coupe and still have the old brakes w/ six bolt! domebody on here should be able to spell it out for us. Good luck with the build it is looking CALIENTE'!
