Projects '30 pontiac 3W build.

Whoa, whoa, wait a minute.. This is your personal 3W and you have ANOTHER 3W you're building for your stepdad? Hoarder. I want one of them.

The stance on yours is awesome too. I think I'll take that one.

 

Yup this ones mine. It was the parts body for his, but I deemed both build able haha, so two will be born!

Wow starting to look like something! Keep up the good work.

 

Looking good steve.

 

I dig it, bud.

 

I'd have trouble NOT putting a 421 TriPower mill and 4spd in her or if the budget is NO budget, a MT Pontiac Hemi...

 

Thanks dudes. I'd love a less generic mill too, but this is what I can afford and I would rather drive my car sooner than later. I got a welder, I can always upgrade.

thats pretty cool!

 

I'm putting a SBC in my Dodge project until I can afford to get something rebuilt in the Mopar category. It's better to drive them then have pride keeping them shelved. Gots to keep it real cause the kids gots to eat man.

 

got her back in my possesion after a 8 month streak of working on my stepfathers car...

addressing steering





I must have moved and reangled this thing like 7-8 times. I think im happy now.

 

rendered out my arm/bubble setup real quick during lunch. Gonna sail that data to my CNC plamsa and see if it's up to the task of cutting the .5" pitman arm. we shall see.

 

This a great build. subscribed!

 

slavin away on the rear suspension.

made these little doodads so I don't have to run a traditional bolt.



welded onto standoffs

done for now.

 

Made this little bracket to house my masters.


in the car


More work on the cowl steering. Straight from the Tech on here... thanks again.

 

Cutting the Pitman arm, the easy way.... This is the raw edge of 1/2" steel... unreal

welded to my pitman arm extension

done!


The plan is to machine an aluminum cap for the top hole. Really excited to have my steering working. Pedals next then bodywork.

 

i hope you know yur gittin on my nerves wit yur great damn fabbin skills!!!! lmao!! but, seriously...........KEEP UP DA GOOD WORK!!! }}}(A){{{

 

way cool!!!! I'm diggin' the stance!!! and great fab!!!

 

pedals/pivot/linkages/masters all done... this is a big check off the list for me.

 

Ooooo! Swing pedals!!! Love those. Looks really good.

 

I feel like a slacker now. Thanks!

Looking great!

 

Thanks guys just building it on a budget. Got like $100 in the whole setup. I scoffed those pedals cheap. just gotta make the front body mounts then its sheetmetal time

Holy sh*t! Only $100? Wow.

 

$20 pedals, $60 for the masters maybe $25 in steel... im doing alright... thats the theme of this build. me being a cheap ass.

 

I'm right there with you. I only have maybe $500 in my current project and that includes purchase cost. Its hard to justify $350 on a new bare set of pedals without the master cylinder or anything else. I know times are tough, but a man's got to eat too. That's my justification. New bumpers, new engine, and new transmission or food in my belly?

 

Steve, great build thread and excellent workmanship. Your cowl steering setup is awesome. Subscribed.

got my parking brake in.

Started on my sub floor


Cowl inner bracing.



Decided to re-visit my windshield post issue too... A little happier this time. Still some tweaks to make.

 

started on my trans tunnel. floor will be done as soon as I can get some sheetmetal.

 

man,that car is going to be badass

 

You're getting to the point where people who haven't followed the build and get to see it up close will start to ask, "So what did you do to it?" Quality craftsmanship. Looks incredible.
