Great progress on a very cool 150. I have a '54 150 sedan I am close to putting back on the road soon. Keep up the great work... Subscribed!
Did i miss something, what motor you putting in there, those look like SBC mounts, could it be.......? Godspeed MrC.
thanks man and good luck on yours! yeah im putting a SBC in it. im pulling the motor out my S10 going out right now to finish the swap now
alright i just walked in the house i got the motor out my s10 and the new oil pan on and shes finally laying in the 53... dont worry about the intake and valve covers there all getting changed out the motor will be repainted later on when i get ready to paint the whole car..
Where did you get your SBC mounts? I'm kicking around doing the swap myself. The 3-speed manual with the 235 gets the Two-Ten travelling at about the speed of smell...
haha i got my mounts from speedway motors part number # 91018040 i ordered a 2inch drop crossmember also but im scrapping it out and im cutting the K-member out and building a new set up thats cleaner and looks way better and get it above the frame.
Looks like we are fixing to start the same project again. I am pulling my body off tonight, and going to notch/airbag/ 2 link it this weekend. Im enjoying your posts, If mine wasnt such a basket case, I would be doing a build thread!
i been slacking alittle bit im just finally getting the C-Notches build and gonna start setting the ride height and start building the 4-link. i found the right year lic plate for my car but im missing one just my luck
finally got the C- notches Tacked in as well at the lower bars i ran out of gas on my welder today gotta make a trip to the welding shop tomorrow might as well get wire while im there i should have it all knocked out tomorrow
finally back on the ground shes low but i still have alot more room to go even farther on the ground i gotta cut the wheel wells and it will lay out....
sorry all i havnt been updating you all on the chevy had to kinda put it on the back burner this week. gotta get a few customers bikes out the shop by wednesday so been trashing on them lately....
alittle more trimming in the wheels wells and should be good on tire clearance still gotta mount the bag brackets. Dont mind the little mess on the ground either the Peace of shit jack blew a seal time for a new one after 7 years
Thanks everyone! its so Damn close its not even funny Now the question thats been burning in my mind is chopping the car nothing to extreme just a 3inch chop. what u think Chop it or no chop?
If I had a rear window like yours (and unlike mine) I would be planning my chop right now instead of sitting here on this damn computer. I say, if it gives you that warm fuzzy feeling just aft of your balls, run with it. Coming along great!
bad ass ride.. car is coming along nicely.. i agree if you have come this far and with that window car almost begs for a small chop.
I would bag it amd cruise it first for a while, then chop it. Enjoy it a a bit, put some miles on the bad boy!!!
