    Got the rear kick up tacked in place and set...

    Really need to get that rear crossmember sandblasted before it gets welded in for good...

    Gonna get the front of the frame done this saturday.
    Just a little sweep up to it and we'll call the rails done for now.
    Until we fish plate the joints and get building motor and trans mounts.

    I still really love that picture with the frame hanging out of my dads truck...

  4. Looking for steel eh? I've got a steel cowl and windshield posts here, near Calgary. It's a bit rough, but it'll do for somebody some day.

    I like the sounds of that. I'll shoot you a pm later...


    Sounds like my Dad has welded the frame up solid this week and took the rear crossmember to the sandblaster.

    Time to get a front spring and a few more front end parts and we'll have a roller!

    Ah.. Good to see you on here! I recognized those last pictures from Instagram..

    Not a fan of fiberglass but I really like where you're heading with this one. Can't wait to see when it's all together!

    Yep, same Norton as on there.

    The Glass body will stick around while I find the pieces for a steel body...
    That might take a while up here in the great white north.

    Your car is looking awesome!

  22. Paint, no paint, build it your way after all it's going to be your ride. Who couldn't like the work your doing. Keep it going and have fun in doing so.

    It took me fifty plus years before I had the time to start building mine.
    Good Luck,
    Johnny Sweet

  23. I can't remember from when I was over at your place, but are you planning on a turtle deck, or no?

    I love the red one I posted! Just a little shorter in the front and a little taller.

    I plan on running a pick up bed or nothing.

    X2 on that red one. I'm not a fan of turtle decks myself. But that is one nice car. Love these t bucket threads, just adds to my inspiration and keeps me motivated to finish mine.
