Projects Building a channeled 32 3 window in new Zealand

Reason for using it as I have always used the f1 boxes on my hot rods. The clamp is no different from the flange coated onto the steering box. And with the block of steel I'm able to use the 32 steering box holes in the chassis. And no will not put a Toyota steering box my hot rod.Thanks

 

FE_STEVE,
Great start to your Channeled Project!!!
Thank You for doing a build thread on your Original Three Window Deuce as many will be watching.

How are you going to get around the Cert process building this LHD ?

 

It has paper work as it was imported from the usa

 

Is it a complete car ?

So now im boxing the front of the chassis. I have made the boxing plate like a channel and welded the edge to the chassis

 

Just came across this build! Totally going to follow this one! Nice work!

Thanks man

 

Looks tits!

 

Glad to see you step boxed the frame rails.

 

I will be following this with interest. JW

 

Great start, has an East coast look to it. Nice frame table, too.

 

Ok so I got the front all boxed. Now to move on to the middle of the chassis. I used industrial chassis dog legs to strengthen the original k member. And did step boxing plates with hole again.

 

I love the steering solution looks beefy as hell. 360 degrees of grip on that thing. This is gonna be a cool coupe! Following along.

ps boxing plates are BITCHEN.

 

Thanks Tuck

 

I wish that torsion tests were run when building frames. It would sure be interesting. I did mine by putting jack stands under the rear kick ups and one under the center of the front crossmember. I held the rear down by hanging a SBC short block from the rear. A board across the front let me apply leverage. Just measure the drop of the front frame horn and calculate the applied torque. I got less than 1/16" with a load at of 800 ft-lbs. Stock was over 2"
The frame is really a work of art!

 

Started making the rear boxing plates today as I'm keeping the step boxing plates the same from front to back

 

Nice craftsmanship, good luck !

 

Go man Go!

 

You're killing me Steve. That's the one I should have kept. You are doing a great job. It is going to be a killer car.

 

Great start - love the steering box mount and the boxing plates. Very nice .....

 

Cool build, Great metal work. What year Cad motor and what did you use to mount the g/box?Nicest looking stock exhaust manifold also.
Rhd drive and the starter is a pain alright,ingenious job on the steering box mount.

 

Like it. Nice work!

 

Hey man. Thanks,motor is a 59. Gear box mount is soon. Stay tuned...

 

Sorry been a slack with the thread. Here's the motor and box setting and start of engine mounts

 

Can not wait to see more. Nice choice on the Caddy motor.
