Projects Mocked up hot rods.

I used some big stud bolts(note the blue teflon coating) and made up little stands from pipe and flatbar. By turning the nut, you can precisely level your work, same concept as a pipefitter's jack stand.

 

i agree tman, that it is essential, and it can put you in a stall, sometimes a long one. I think it can also be great inspiration to see a rod like the one you got squirreled away being mocked up(built). I hope that is what this thread is used for.

 

it looks badass, just keep plugging away...

 

Here's some photos of when I was going to put a '31 Chevy on a '32 Ford frame before finding my '32 Ford. I thought it was going to work pretty well.

 

i've seen a few. I think they look good on 32 rails. Man that body was solid.
