The Baileigh Build........1930 Ford Sedan

What he said ^

The focus should be on the metalwork results, not on flashy stuff. Maybe even a stock mohair interior.

 

Search: Silva speed special on the forum.

Lots of links there...Hope this helps!

i,d do a Pete & Jakes deal like they did in HOT ROD many many yrs back , primered rod no fenders some serious hp up front with some old school Halibrand mags

 

Hey Mike!

I seem to run into you all over the place.

 

OK guys.....a little update for you. We will be heading down to pick it up in 2 weeks. Then the fun starts

Any more suggestions for the Baileigh build?

 

if your going past our shop you can drop it off.
or stop in for some B.S.


johnny

 

OK.....we got her home. Now the fun begins!

Here is what is looks like.

C'mon guys.........let's here your ideas. We will be documenting the build. The car will be built using Baileigh equipment.

 

Looks like an excellent first episode for KIRK! TV.

 

Very Nice! Looking forward to the build. I have a 291 Desoto Hemi I would trade for a piece of equipment... LOL

This is MudzerK5 over on Pirate.

 

Chris did some sketching today......

 

has some nice lines there

 

Thanks!

We are excited to get started on it.

 

the rendering looks great! but the body doesn't look channeled in it. do you really need to channel it a whole 10"? how tall is your frame rail?

 

cool

 

I'll ask Chris on Monday

 

did we get an answer from chris?

 

The car looks good but frankly I am drooling on what I see on the racks sitting beside and behind it. I do love tools and equipment! lol

 

Ha Ha,

The tools are nice, yes. The car is going to be awesome.

 

how tall are you? with a 4" chop and 10 " channel there is not going to be too much room.

 

Update......

Now that Chris has the lift installed in the shop, he can start on his project. He will be robbing the 327 out of his Chevelle to put in the 30'

 

did we ever get answers on those frame questions?

 

I'll ask and update

 

Whatever ya do, resist the urge to put a '32 grill shell on it....

 

Hi all, this is Chris from RMD, been lurking for years, i think this will be my first post! The information on here is incredible, almost too much to absorb. I am going to build the 30' here at the shop.
About the 30' frame......i guess my 10" channel was misleading, it will be more like a 10" body drop from stock. The frame will sit slightly into the body with like a 3" actual channel into the body, but with the way i have the frame drawn up it will drop down to give a good look IMHO, not slammed too much. I want to be able to see the ladder structure of the frame from the outside, but not all of it. i hope my rambling made sense.
I am going to use the stock grill.

Some tennative specs
-327 small block, Alum heads, 30 over, mild street cam, induction is up in the air at this point
-700r4 tranny
-12 bolt posi from the Chevelle


The Chevelle on the other hand is getting a LS3 crate engine with a Tremec 6speed and a currie 9"

Thanks for all of the input!

Chris

 

Thanks Chris!

 

any updates Chris?

 

We have the frame jig done!

 

That jig looks great. Looking forward to seeing some nice fab work on this one.

 

now that you have a great looking frame jig your probably going to need to build MORE than one frame.........
