Projects Truck into a coupe- My next pet project

Pretty much.
Lexan Trans hump maybe ?
You're right why go thru all that to cover it up, silly

 

X 2 !

 

These are tacked on ready to go

 

Ladder bar mount idea I got from @29donut build.
Step 1

 

Step 2

Well maybe step 42 if you count them all

 

Step 3

 

I just couldn't put the tube in there.
I like it !
Should have this finished about the same time as my coffee

 

I couldn't be more pleased with this !!
I like it !

 

There's 8 of these rascals to make.

 

Well maybe 7, if I use the practice one.

 

Very nice work.

 

thanks max!


Almost everyone does the headers for a hemi like this.





Both Custom built and off the shelf retail. The jog to dodge the frame contradicts with the port but its all because the flanges and pipes start 90* to the machined surface of the head. You'll see what I mean in the following posts.

 

Which really looks like this to the exhaust flow.
Those gasses just want to make their way out and be happy.

 

And since the ports direction of flow is like this, I don't think the gasses are happy in the other ever popular by 99% version.

 

That's why I'm setting mine up like this.
I know its against the status quo and hopefully this plays out well.
Its quite a bit more work and tedious work too, that would be one explanation as to why you don't see many set up like this.

 

Got the frame flipped and welded.
Big milestone deal to me.

 

So I could use some help with 6 cylinder chevy water pumps.

 

Trans done !
Off to get the guts put back in.
Will be running switch pitch internals

 

I like it !
And I don't give a shit if nobody ever sees it.

 

This cobbled mess of a wheel and it looks just as bad on the other side but both will be leaving.
New subrails that follow the frame, some bead roller work and it will nice.

 

Right now, this is a major improvement over the other side.

 

Although there's not much to show, it's been pretty eventful.
The frames got swaped, the modified 33/34 fits like a glove.
Engine out and back in, front end out and back in, rear end welded up and put in,
The stock 34 frame for Priscilla needs some surgery and its on the table waiting

Just about got the body mounts made up and finished for Elvis

 

Not too exciting,
Step 1 was mdf buck hammer form.
Lots of scribing and marking.
2 measure some more
3 forearm workout.
4 zip screw the extension on and fit it in.
5 determine appropriate spacing so marking is accurate .

 

Ready for the bead roller after I get rid of the boogar holding up the tail of the wheel well.

 

There goes the paint job !
Im Not too happy, but I couldn't sleep



Edit: this is the start of a vicious downward spiral that leads to total destruction and complete rebuild of this body. At the time I had no idea just how bad things would get.

 

Well this wheel well turned out to a much bigger PITA than expected.

The lip, the tail and the trunk flange.

 

What an ass ache.

What's the worst part?
Threw the completed paint job and body work in the shitter. The only reason I bought this us because the body was finished.

.

 

....

 

Who said you couldn't do 10,000 posts and build something cool?

 

Some motor mounts.
Finally got around to making the frame side of the mount.
With a tapered frame and offset engine mounts each of the 4 frame pieces are different.
Nothing fancy, just sleek simple effective hot rod parts.
Little more polishing and they will probably get chromed so they can be sexy hot rod parts.
