Did you make or purchase those fasteners with the wing nuts? What do the look like on the inside?
Nailhead coming together
I'm sure it's a lot of work but really cool and totally worth it.
This is the shop truck at SDHQ in Chandler:)
Totally unrelated but saw this this awesome 57 ford pickup.
Great info. I think I want to attempt that as well. I want to run an HEI distributor and that distributor is about as big as they come so Ill need...
Also, how much of the front side of the gas tank did you have to remove?
Did you clean all that steal with a media blaster or did you use a grinder?
Thanks for the photos. That's exactly what I would like to do.
Why do roadsters suck?
Oh man your abilities are so much better than mine! You have a really amazing rod in the works there.
So are you just leaving the inner fender out? I considered doing the same but how does that affect the strength of the body?

I've been working on the front end a little bit. Picked up the steering arms from so cal. The steering box is a Corvair unit. I think these are...
Thanks Oldsman41. As much as I'm looking forward to cruising this thing, at the same time I'm doing it right even if it takes the rest of my life:)
Glad to hear that you have used them with success. I would have it baked and welded but since its been machined already it would need to be...
Also finally found a dual quad intake for the nailhead! Cast iron factory unit from a Super Wildcat.
Notice the subframe on the passengers side is bent upwards. How the heck are you supposed to fix that???
Man, I've looked all over the internet and I haven't been able to find that particular patch panel anywhere. I will see if I can find that thread...
