Hey, lookee what got dragged out of of the grave! 5 years later, and The Engine, and trans are in, and the car moves under it's own power now....
Thank you! Excellent point about the grille shell. I'm planning on a '32 shell, but it really all depends on what radiator I find that will cool...
And here it is channeled! Still a lot of work to do, but this is how it's going to sit. The body is just even with the bottom of the rails. 6"...
I think that's the cleanest A chop I've ever seen. Just beautiful work man! Great car!
Excuses, Excuses... Here in Ohio, the past couple weeks have been opressively hot. I just don't go out in the garage when it's 90. Last few days...
6" drop. Got sidetracked for a few months, but I'm back on it. Spent a few hours today just finishing up some welding that needed done. I also...
DEAL!!!!
Nothing is bolted down. The body, and engine, are just sitting in place while I take measurements, and decide what needs cut, and where, and how...
Kensey, I think I'm starting to agree with you! That guy IS a Badass! From the looks of the holes he made for the lights, he cut them with his...
Thanks man! What, you don't like my taillights?? LOL No offense to whoever put those on there, but they are the one Hideous part about the car....
That's the most amazing thing i've seen in quite a while! LOL To the OP... Beautiful ride!!
[ATTACH] Motor back out. Boxing plates in! 3/16 .... it was free from the drop bin at work! It's getting serious now... Now I have to make some...

Thanks for the kind works Kensey. Yeah, obviously, the chop necessitates a complete paint job, so I rattle canned that door black, just to help...

I feel like i'm slacking here. Still havn't gotten my front frame rails boxed :(. BUT, I did get that grungy T5 cleaned up a bit, got the...
[ATTACH] I finally scored a T5... $200 with the shifter, and driveshaft out of a Camaro. Since the seats will be pushed back, the rearward...
Alright! It's a rolling chassis again! The new rear axle has a 5x5 bolt pattern, which meant my spoke wheels wouldnt fit anymore..... bummer. I...
Got the upper, and lower shock mounts installed. I think it turned out really well. I've got 5" of ride height adjustment on the lower mount,...
Great looking coupe!
With the top shock mounts made, i was ready to order a set of lowers from Speedway, but I was too cheap, so I made these from some 2x2 tubing...
Thanks!
Damn! Tell ya what, I'll give ya $125 for it~;)
Working on the Hotrod at lunchtime:). Designed an upper shock bracket that will give me up to 45 degrees of lean. I should be able to dial in...
The swapmeet turned out to be really good. For less than $200, I picked up the Crossmember with the hoop, the Panhard bar, and hardware, AND... a...
Here's what I did today... [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Going to the Springfield Cars, and Parts swap meet this weekend... Maybe I'll find a deal on some coil overs. Speaking of good deals, I picked up...
I'm all kinds of jealous... that thing is badass!
