Cool project! I'll have to keep tabs on it.

 

Coming together nicely!!!

new pic

 

its looking pretty sweet!

 

Good looking hot rod! Nice choice of wheels and tires.

 

Thanks it took a couple tries to get the wheels right

 

it is a roller with buick drums and wilson welding backing plates

 

Looks good, I like the stance and open wheels!

 

progress update

Things are moveing along and have made some changes needed more roo for engine clearance so the firewall got cut out and reversed not as easy to do since the firewall is welded in a pontiac but it came out awesome. I have to give the highest marks to Jesse Coots who is doing the fab work on this for me.And in the power department the engine is going together and should be done very soon. We have also decided to remove the rear gas tank and bob the rear rails new tank will be in the trunk, i had wanted to keep the original tank but as the build has moved along it just didnt look right

Front of engine together

 

Engine runs and runs great we broke it in on the run stand no noises good oil pressure no crap in the pan. The engine is a 1969 pontiac sprint head has been ported and pollished it is running a "H" cam compression is 9.5 bottom end is stock with custom Ross pistons. We ran it in with a stock single barrel carb and single exhaust these will be replaced with a triple weber sidedraft setup And a set of lake headers

 

Wow that engine looks sweet! Can't wait to see it between the frame rails. Great job so far.

 

I LOVE pontiacs. I really like what you have done so far and using that engine is going to be so cool.

I think it looks great without the fenders too.

 

Engine mounts are done

 

Body up on table for wood removal and steel insertion looks nice and square

 

Building a similar 32 five window and I'm chopping my top. Love to get some close ups of the front quarters where mines rotted. Looks great so far ... will pm you. Keep up the good work ...

 

Channel is done decided to go full frame channel I think it looks great. I have to give over the top praise to Jesse Coots from old soul hot rods for the work he has done on this project this car has been one I wanted to do for 20+ years and now it is happening

 

Thanks GTO, good pics and great progress. Wish mine had that much good metal. Guess that's what a finger brake is for!

 

Sweet project man, cool looking engine too.
