    Been on this car for awhile getting it set on the 32 ch***is that was originally gonna be built for a purpose built nostalgia drag car. after it set dormant for a few years Bill decided to change it more a street friendly hot rod. lots had to change as the ch***is was originally built to be a g***er so all the angles needed to change, suspension front and rear had to be changed as well as ladder bar set up and motor mounts. I'll try to find pics of all the changes but here some sheetmetal work I've been doing on it

    Whipped out the drivers side wheel well today, from paper to metal, tank rolled edge and bead rolled to resemble the stock A wheel wells but to fit the 32 ch***is, now to get the quarter patches in and this side can go in ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1420433554.530902.jpg ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1420433569.819640.jpg

    Gorgeous work on the floor. It sure is nice to see a floor done right instead of square tubing!
