Its been a long time since I've posted.. I got the old car running.. I decided to go with a TBI fuel injection from a mid 90s model C10 GM truck.....
I imagine none of these pics do it justice! the last pic shows some nice flake pop but damn I bet it looks really bitchen in person.
lmao!
Can anyone turn me on to a Throttle Pedal that would look similar to what originally came in my 52 chevy sedan but with an adjustable cable?
My 52 is in my sig!
Thanks, but I actually ended up using one of the Mini street rod type boosters. It fits very nice on the frame rails under the body.
Yep not a blow through, its a draw through, it pulls the boost through the carb and mixes the fuel with it. They used them factory on Late 70s...
your car looks great! I love those tail lights.. I wish I would've thought to sink my Jag crossmember into the frame like that!
until you get the smell out throw you some moth balls in there because as long as it stinks its going to be a major attraction for other rodents.
This is turning out GREAT!
Just a little messing around with the Turbo setup to kinda show whats going on with it. The stock intake should work really well with this setup...
Lots of progress today. Body shimmed and mounted. The doors aligned and working as intended. Finally ready to move on to some body work.... gonna...
Bench! I was lucky enough to have both front and back in my 52 and in decent shape. They feel amazing sitting on them. Buckets just dont look...
Thanks guys. I've always wanted a forced induction. For now I'll install this turbo on the stock motor learn with, play around with it, keep the...
I spent the weekend cleaning and painting the bottom side of the body.. you can eat off it its so clean and nice and satin black too. But Im...
Ill give that a try,
When I took it apart most of the mounts were loose and some missing so I didn't bother keeping up with placement and whatnot. These mounts just...
Well it was probably the most dreaded, nastiest, dirty, ugly job ever but I finally got the underside of my 52 cleaned and painted. So now I'm...
It does look good, but the thought of cutting my windshield is enough to make me cringe... Id much rather avoid cutting a rear glass too..
Did this to my old 62, it did only require that two holes drilled. You could also weld it easy enough. Best thing I ever did to that old truck....
Is it just me or does it look like he cut the rear window frame down too?
Thats exactly how I want to do mine! Whos car is this?? Any more pics?
I had a 235 in a 62 pickup that would fry the tires, it was responsive, snappy and all out wonderful. Single carb, single exhaust, solid lifter...
My first flame job, and my first and LAST time to stripe! I've got mad respect for strippers, there's not a DAMN thing easy about it! Next time...
That firebird even though OT makes my heart beat a little erratic.
Lol that video is sweet!! so yeah dont run that intake if you never wanna get out of second gear in town! ;-)
I'm putting a 250 in mine. I built my own mounts but u can buy them too.
Was an awesome day!
shes a beaut!
Just about got the steering. I may make the shaft that comes out the column just a little shorter to lessen the angle on the top u joint....
