Here's a shot of the frame, btw. It's been back on the road 2 years now. It has a 350 TBI with 700R4 so I need to update the gearing into the mid 3s.

Hey all. I have a 1941 Chevy Coupe that we are preparing to build. It's a bare, rusty mess so the build is a total build. We are contemplating...
Great question. I think the Mustang II and suspension is from Street Rod HQ (Chevy of the 40s). The bags, however, are Air Ride and I don't think...
I have '52 Chevy truck with a Mustang II and 4 link, and air ride. It's got a lot of sway and tire rub on turns. I am thinking sway bar is the...
Rick, I had this idea the other day of just mounting gauges under the dash and getting a tck for the old gauge hole. So imagine my joy to see your...
Might as well include a photo, right? [IMG]

i am building a '55 2 door sedan. the style is best described as post-gasser. it's kind of a late 60's style, no trim, lowered, but with...
follow up note... we made it fit. but everyone's who told me to toss it and just get some line and make my own ... you were totally right. the...
agreed, if you have a 2 door pillar, use it. the upside of a 2 door pillar - or a modified 4 door pillar - is that any 2 door shell will work,...
Speaking of door jams... I followed the lead of my neighbor on how to build out the metal from the pillar. You need just 3 pieces of metal to...

outstanding feedback! i used liquid dish soap, shot it right into the boot, and the wire slid right on through. when it got caught up in the...

Yes. The jams and doors on the 4 door are different than that of the 2 door. You either have to alter the jams from the 4 to match the 2 door...
Update on the 2 door conversion... the body is back on the frame and body work is well under way. I have my wiring ready to go and that is up...
