The car is all wired up and pretty much finished now.
It made it outside under its own power last night. Needs wiring and a few little things buttoned up still but it’s really close to being done
Thank you.
Did the hamb die or was there just not as much shit to talk on this build then the last? Lol Bodywork on the tunnel today. Can’t stop coming out...
Getting closer to moving. Windshield is being cut,steering is all in. Just need fuel line, floors,tunnel,and wiring.
Looks good. It’s pretty similar. This was just a perimeter frame though. All mounts were made and added on later. With some changes to the rear...
Just have to get on the mud before it gets hard ;) I really like this filler in the picture and the 3m glaze is great too. This stuff sands pretty...
Yep I’m a bodyman by trade so I know all about the nasty stuff. I’m just using a Omni epoxy over all the bare metal,then a 2k sandable over that....
Haha yeah I retired it for the night after that last one. It does feel pretty damn good though. A few minor spots to touch up then it will be wet...
More block sanding...Of coarse block sanding cannot be done without proper lubricant
Shouldn’t be much longer. The hard part is all done now.
Well,finally got off my ass and the thing is all primed and ready to block then paint. I think it turned out looking pretty good! Just took way...
looksgoodtome is getting to be pretty good at bodywork. I guess I have just been finding it hard to do bodywork all day and come home and do it...
Can't wait to see it all put together... We need to get on the bodywork now.
We got the engine and trans stuck in. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Can't wait to see the body finished and put on the chassis. I can wait to do all of the bodywork to get to that point... Haha
Ouch.
We got the chassis together today. I really like how it came together [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thank you. We found them at a swapmeet and I think the guy might have had 1 more set at the time but they were close to $300 if I remember...
[ATTACH] Chassis painted
Got the rearend sprayed just now waiting for it to dry then hope to paint the frame . Got a little solvent pop cause I was heavy on the...
I might look into making something like this if I keep the car long enough. The fan is low on the radiator so that sure doesn't help. I appreciate...
Pretty sure I have figured out my shake. Spun the rear tires when it was on the lift and they appear to not be round.
Thanks, but the car had a bad shake and darted all over prior to the bar and the bar made the car drive a lot better. I understand how it works...
I have thought about a damper but I wanted to try a fix before I just masked the issue. I drive it about 15 miles last night and the steering...
So the T has around 1k miles on it now. I am tired of the random death lunges it does all the time. I need a panhard bar but didn't want to weld...
Just giving you a hard time. This is the way I did the last one so I just did this the same way. Never thought about another way. I like he engine...
Thanks, we found them at the high performance swapmeet at the Clark county fairgrounds. Someone custom casted them and made like 7 sets. Whoever...
Are you suggesting I paint the bottom then roll it over on wet paint and paint the rest? Haha
