Went to jalopy43's house today and he had started to lay out the frame. I got to check out the cowl and will soon be fabbing the rest of the body for it. We discussed what all i needed and will be placing an order soon for the parts i need. It will be running an 4 cylinder chevy engine since i had one handy, it will also be done on the cheap since i dont have alot to spend. Thanks to rodrelic for hte front end and jalopy43 for building me the frame and helping get me started with the cowl. I will update as we go and should hopefully be done by spring.
Great pix of little Larry!,or is it babystorm? Here's what i did ,till about an hour ago. Also we need to put out a call for a front spring. Those spindles are gonna work out ok. I think this one's gonna be finished BEFORE spring!! Seeya, Sparky
to late hatch, he was doomed to be a hotrodder from the beginning. between me and his grandpops it was in his blood. Looking good sparky, i have already priced a front spring i just need to know a length.
baby storm or little larry, it really dont matter cause he will answer to anything right now. Heres a better cowl pic.
I had to work today. I'm going to Sparky's tomorrow. That's great progress on your car. I'm still fighting rusted solid screws in the toe board. As soon as I get those out i'll be able to set the cab off the frame. Anybody know the secret to tearing this steering column a part? Butcher
Hey Butch...All you gotta do is lt me know when you're ready and we'el lift the cab off with my crane truck.we can have it off in bout 10 mins or so.
If everything goes right i might have the rest of the suspension by next weekend and maybe have close to a roller by Sunday if jalopy43 is willing to work on it.
Thanks Butcher!(official Poor Boys photographer) I had to use my entire arsenal on a froze-up perch bolt this morning! Air chisel,torch,BFH,lots of PB blaster,and hot wax. Comming along fine 'Bro. You'll be DRIVING this one to the HRR,in June Sparkmeister
awesome, you must be excited. i just got a 29 sport coupe that i will start building soon. maybe i will see that thing, there is talk about some of us from sacto going out there for billetproof.
[ QUOTE ] I made my own digi.camera, out of old ford pistons, and bubblegum. [/ QUOTE ] forget the car, I wanna see a tech post on THIS! haha just kidding looks good, I hope you can get it done by spring what body style is it going to be? or maybe I missed it in the post?
Jay told me that Phil, himself and a couple others are flyin out to Detroit for 05 Billetproof this year.I'd like to see some of our guys go as well.
Thanks JSM! Next tech week-the camera build. The current plans are to build an A bucket,bobber style,with a chevy 4 banger. stay tuned. sparklopy 4.3.com
Man i go to work for a day and miss a ton of posts. Updates will be provided and i hope to be driving it sooner then june, i just need to get my ass in gear.
i think my ass is gonna be in overdrive soon, all i do is think about it at work, home and everywhere. Once all the part start coming together and i get the rest of the body built it should be all down hill from there. I am gonna get the engine and tranny and other misc. stuff from my pops house tueseday night so i can start cleaning it up and measure it for the frame.
Hey, post a pic of YOU by the car...Denise said you're hot! Ha Ha Ha...just funnin'...don't take that GMB thing TOO litterally! I love the attitude and spirit of this project, gonna be cool to see it progress!!!
