Seeing as it's so well loved I'll just leave these here... Haha [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
That's cool mate, I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea, luckily it's my cup of tea, and I'm quite happy with it
The further I get into this build the further I realize it's not really HAMB material, but none the less... The L frame is now completely fabbed...
More progress, top coilover mounts are done, all trailing arms are mounted and in, I'm working on the K'onfusion frame at the moment haha [ATTACH]...
Bit more progress on what I'm calling my 'K'onfusion member haha. I got the drivers side top trailing arm mounted, another piece to brace that...
After a little bit of messing around with my pipe bender Saturday morning, I ended up with half a K member that I'm kinda liking... I needed to...
Not a bad view at 3:20am... Sitting here trying to get funky with the K member, picking up the top trailing arm and the coilover, and still tying...
I didn't fill a single part of the chop with lead, just welded it very very slowly, and when I say that I mean 9hrs to weld the chop in, mig...
I'm sitting here making the absolute most of my hot rodding holiday, as today is my last day in the shed as I'm back to work Monday, and have to...
Yeah everyone has raved about how good these are, so I imagined the center steer also had to be pretty decent? They say they've shortened it all...
Well after a whole lot of squeezing, measuring and measuring again, ive reset my motor at the correct angle now. Silly mistake on my behalf not...
Has anyone tried one of these 28-34 center steer set ups???...

Cheers mate [emoji4] there's many things to do before that happens, but I'm looking forward to having a registered rod at the end of it!!
So I ended up with the $$$ making the decision on a motor, got my hands on a 454 BBC. A very lucky short block, from the 1 year they made them...
Thanks mate, it's not everyone's cup of tea I understand that, but I'm building my dream coupe [emoji4]
So as I'm taking a new path with this build, I decided to scrap the chassis, take it back to a standard wheelbase, as I don't need the extra 5"...
Ps Please excuse the underside of the shape in the front hasn't been sanded so still looks lumpy...
Well today, after leaving it for more than 10 months I decided enough is enough, the little fairies who were supposed to build the car for me were...
Another of the mrs RHD Biscayne [ATTACH]
I have a '38 4 door RHD in my driveway, rego'd and running, and I'm struggling to see why I shouldn't chop it up haha. This is an awesome project...
My girlfriends 58 Biscayne, RHD with a 350 350 set up... Hers is obviously the pink one haha. The blue is owned by a painter who works next door...
Awesome but of info as my little coupe has the same thing! Seems I may be 'tweaking' the doors a little... As for your build mate it's coming...
Unrelated to the rod, but took the mrs 58 Biscayne for a drive to our shed today, then pulled one of the old mans thunderbirds out for afew quick...
Thanks a bunch mate, I tried to throw up as many pics as people could handle, as I couldn't find some to help me as I chopped... Cheers mate I'm...
