got the supreme wheels in today. 15x8 reverse offset. look deep. Hurst cheater slicks and super cushion fronts are on order. not sure what brand these wheels are, but they are USA made!




mocked up the radiator today and played with some different intakes. the shell will be choped to match the cowl height. we are running a hood top, but no sides.
traditional look.

 

not so traditional.....
i think we are steering away from this set up.

 

Nice updates.whats the ride height going o be on it?

Jake

 

We should be about 4-5 inches of ground clearance at ride height.

 

Nice fabrication work!! Lots of great info, thanks for taking the time to share it with us! Subscribed!!

 

Yep,the owner bought from him. I worked on Charlie s nomad not too long ago.

Thank you

we received our tires from cody at hurst racing tires/hotrodrubber on the board.
great service,quick delivery and in the time frame he said. would definitely recommend his company to anyone needing tires.

rear cheater 2" white wall. 28 1/8 x 8 x15 on some supreme wheels from hamb'er nozone i found in the classifieds.fronts are supper cushion 15x4.5 on rocket wheels.






fronts are supper coushion 15x4.5 on rocket wheels.


speedway rear dics brake set up.

 

chopped the grille shell 5 1/8" to match the cowl height after the body has been channeled.

started with the stock surround.


chopped the top off.

split down the center to get it line up on the front edge.


split down the rear to align the rear, and filled in the gaps.



cleco'd together. start to put back together.

 

Nice work ryno!

The work in the frame reminds me a lot of Elpolacko's.

Jake

 

thanks Jerry ,that means alott from ya.
Water pump is holding strong.

Thank you

Will do

 

last weeks progress.
got the sub floors in.



rolled outside at ride height.



fire wall recess was too deep,so i fab'd up a filler panel to smooth it up,but keeping the stock factory bead rolls and indents. i like the way a fire wall looks with some of the firewall charter still left in tact,flat walls look smooth.

 

not sure if i mentioned it earlier or not, but we decided to ditch the turbo idea and go blower.

 

Fine workmanship!

 

thank you!

 

Lookin good can we see a pic of it down.

Jake
