Projects First time out of the garage

I finally got everything put togeather enough to wheel my 31 out if the garage and take a step back. Really get a good look and man I'm excited now. All the hard work to now is actually working. This is my first time building a car and it's been tons of fun but there is def a learning curve. Hoping this winter to get the frame finished up, finish the chop and the sub floor and then start tackling the nailhead I'm planning to put in it first part of next year. As winter starts to show up here in Michigan today provided me a nice photo album to tide me over till next time I can wheel it out.

Lookin good!

 

Good job. Always a good feeling.

 

Looks mighty good!

 

Looking good, nice Slant Wondow! Did you change the angle of the windshield to compensate for the chop of the front door? More chop photos would be nice to see along with details, how much etc., got on my self that I plan to cut. Bob

 

Nice! I like what you're doing.

 

Thanks. I chopped it 3 inches and moved the header forward to compensate. Then adjusted the outer post sheet metal to tie it all back together. The top of the front door I'm going to have to extend slightly at the front edge. Got the initial how to from scootermcrad's modified Murray project. I'll try to get some pics next time I'm out in the garage

Looks really good. The proportions are "Right"

 

Looks good. What are those tires? Wide, wide white walls...............

 

I think you nailed the chop!! It looks great

 

You're inspiring me to start on my 32 Fordor. Looks great.

That looks great! I too am interested to hear more on the chop, especially the leaning of the front posts.

 

Nice! Looks like your having fun, that’s the important part!

"This is my first time building a car"
Looks like you have been paying attention.
Nice work.
The chop is perfect.

 

Good looking slant Window enjoy .

 

Lookin good!. Keep pics. coming.

 

I can dig it

 

Profile-stance will get even better when the Nailhead drops front down. Great way to save a Mordor. What Nailhead is going to fill that opening up front?

Looks good man! As my wife keeps saying to me “enjoy the journey” of the build when I have been saying I wish it was done on my build. The nailhead is gonna look sweet in there. What’s the plan for it?

Looking good - nailhead is a great choice!

 

Right now I have a 401 out of a '62 LeSabre. Gonna keep it mild. Cam and the 4x2 from Centerville auto. I know it's not traditional but I had a t56 fall in my lap and I like the idea of some good highway gears. Top it off with a quickchange and I'll have her on the road.

When the drivetrain goes in, give us some good details on mating the T56-Nailhead combo.

 

That's going to be one nice looking sedan!
