Projects The Hot Rod With No Name

Thanks LoBrow. I should start on the frame soon. Just need Jody to come down and ok the mock up and go over some other little stuff that will dictate some of the chassis build. He said he's most likely going to be down this week.

 

i think the grill looks awesome kev. you and chad have vision. some people can only see what their mind allows them to see.

 

Roll with it. You have good vision. Besides I have noticed that there are so many people trying to be different that they start looking the same. Be a pioneer and go for it.

 

I agree 1000% with your vision!!! You have a KILLA attitude and it shows in all of the KRAZY KREATIONS and INNOVATING rodz that come from "your bad azz demented self"!!!! I hope that one day I can come close to what you do!!! Hope to one day rub shoulders and toss back a few "BARLEY SODAS".

 

oh we remember

 

Hey, I probably missed it somewharz, but how did you finish those 12 spokes? BOSS

Thing that bugs me with model A hi-boys is the frame is just so SQUARE, flat, table like Son! Put a little sweep under it similar to, oh, I don't know.......DOOS rails

That sucker's gonna be.....what'd Janet say?.....NASTY

 

I can't wait for a update, soon?

 

Seriously dig the car so far. It gives the "I'm going to tag your mom, sister, and girlfriend and if you say anything, I'll tag YOU too" vibe.

 

is there going to be some more engine set back?

 

Things are looking busy at the shop that's great i hope i can get some time away from the house soon so i can stop by and check some of the projects out in person.The coupe looks like you've got a killer start!!

 

Not to divert from the great grill debate, but what are you planning to run for rear suspension. Just curious as so many cars aren't exactly aimed at hooking up. Looks good!

 

The great grille debate (hahahaha!) may be be all for nought. Just need to get Psychoholic off the table, and then this one can go up. Hopefully sometime this coming week.

 

What he said regarding the grille.........

 

The rear suspension will be a four link with wishbone. Much like the one in Psycoholic. Believe me, it'll be designed for "hooking up".

 

Looking forward to more progress (and single digit ETs)... Cheers on the funky grill!

 

And so it begins:

I drilled the backing plates for the rear axle last Sunday, and worked out the offset for the Buick Aluminum drum brakes for the rear axles:





And today, I started on the rear axle build up. "Double Live Gonzo" on this one. It'll get all the bells, whistles, and braces, and will hopefully be part of a recipe that will guarantee it will carry the hoops!






Everybody's always asking to see my welds. I figured out the camera and got one ok shot. I'm sure lots of you are way better than I am.

 

Looks good guys, I think I have a perfect grill for Ya it's a 1932 Desoto grillshell.!

 

Hmmm. I like to look at it John. We're looking to use a '29 Model A shell now, stainless. We decided simply on the bodyworks to draw attention to the motor and suspension.

 

Man, those welds are like stacked dimes! What talent!

 

i absolutly love everything you guys build. super strong and built for speed. Im am ever more impressed.

 

I want to have a look at that in person tonight.

 

OOOO!! AHHHH!! Looks great Kevin!!! Next time I come out, you have to convert me from MIG to TIG!

 

those are some killer welds! this should be a bitchin' project.

 

Thank god!

 

Fn Sweet Cotton. Fn sweet.

I need to venture into IL sometime and check out your shop. PM me some info and I'll plan something, then the wife can go shopping like she has been wanting to up there in chitown.
