Sorry lol...sick all last week, I was one with the couch.....But even sick I still got a few things done. The mill is ready to drop in, went to chris's carb shop here in Dayton and picked up a rebuilt edelbrock 600 and '67 corvette intake, popped all that stuff on and bolted everything else to the engine...The big news is that I'm picking the 34 up from the rod shop this saturday; after I get it home, the mill will go into it asap then off to the muffler shop to get all the pipes hung on the chassis. (that way he doesnt have to mess up a painted frame by welding stuff to it) Pictures to come, but here is the engine:

 

In between all this...Ive got alittle side project going on too. Its alittle farther ahead than the 34, The chassis is completely done and rolling, the engine is in it.....................an original 1963 Monogram BIG ROD kit.....

 

This build is motivating me to finish ipa my 33 pu

 

hells yesss!

your engine looks quite sanitary

 

all the fabrication is done. Time to tear down...paint, and assemble. Goal is to haul my parts to the springfield swap meet in it.

 

That Big Rod Monogram is sweet!!

But I'm more partial to drivable early Fords. That motor is clean.

 

Gotta love someone who accomplishes this in a two-car garage.

 

It doesnt really take a whole lot of room to build a pre 40 Ford. I know people who do more in a one car garage.

 

frames painted!...so is bottom of the cab and bed...............hope you all like my kustom frame supporting system

 

Mmmmmmm, that looks tasty Stephen! What's you paint it with? POR?

 

Your build looks good. Also, I dig that avatar.

 

valspar tractor implement paint...with a brush a whole 32 bucks!

 

Damn Steve, looks great !

 

thanks, thats some good stuff, the brush strokes flatten out for the most part and your left with a finish that doesnt look half bad, painted a few other frames with it...seems to be pretty durable too.

 

brake lines done......

 

At this rate you will be driving before too much longer. HRP

 

I was just thinken about that, I dont have a hole lot left to do. Im not going to paint it too nice, probably just some shade of primer for now. Got the Fuel line ran and the gas tank in it tonight.

 

Looking damn nice...Keep up the good work!

 

thnx

 

Wow, you've been hard at it! Looking good Stephen!

 

Sounds like a great plan GOOD LUCK !!! will be looking for the finished product

 

How am I supposed to look at your Truck when my eyes keep looking to the Left at the

beautifully Striped Beaver ! ! ! A.D.D. sucks !!

VR&C.

 

.......today after work....Got the front axle painted and together ( painted wishbones wimbleton white too) and got the engine in it and carb on.....also finished clamping down all the brake and fuel lines to the chassis and installed the rear brake hose....and was at the parts store 5 times................

 

48 Louvers, less drag at 130.

 

Pretty good looking louver layout.

 

thanks, he left a section of louvers out in the middle so I can drag a few lines on that spot...

 

heres that same tailgate before. Note the huge hole in the middle of it.....
