Projects Henry J Southeast Gassers build

15 here and goin down.

 

Well.., it's 80 (+80) here in Pomona, Thursday afternoon of the Winternationals. Getting paid by work, it sucks but gotta take one for the team. Getting thirsty, hmmm, lemonade, or ice tea, hmmm decisions, decisions.

 

I hope you get a SUNBURN!!

 

BEER!

 

1. Yes the sun is setting, so we're gonna go have some frosty mugged beers and some outa sight Mexican food, OUTSIDE, and watch the Sun set.. Then I gotta wake up tomorrow and do it all over again. OH THE AGONY!

 

There is a lot of people hating your face right now... lol

 

You suck AND blow!

 

What happened to the pix on both your threads?

 

Looks a lot better with the new wheels on it

 

This was the view I had leaving work tonight after spending 12 hrs in a frozen ditch with my welder:


Enjoy the races...And the Mexican food....And the beers.
The rest of us will be up here in u heated garages,on freezing cold floors,building race cars.[emoji27]

Any more updates on the J?

 

Got the axle the rest of the way out. Im doing 12-14 hour days right now, so progress will be very hit and miss. I have a week off in the beginning of March that i intend on doing most of the work.

 

I feel your pain....If there's enough time,there's never enough money.
If there's enough money,you don't have the time to work on it.

 

So i played with the height in the rear a little to get it sitting a little closer to where i wanted. and i moved the rears in about 2 inches i can go in a hair more but not much. What you guys think?

 

This is my favorite stance...level and low...but the others should give an idea on stance variations.

 

Looks great, very gasser mean!

 

Back looks good, I'd bring the front down a couple inches.

 

I think it has to do with the website that is hosting them. Plus the HAMB had a big update so I have been thinking I need to go back and reload them. I need to just sit down and do it. Supposed to be below zero this weekend so maybe the time has come.

 

I would go little lower in the front.

 

The front end is probably going to drop 2-3 inches when he gets the engine and trans in it anyway.
Even stuff like getting the glass and interior and a tank of gas in the car makes the entire thing settle 1/2"-3/4".
I can't wait to see this thing come together

Hit the Swap meet today, sold a bunch of junk , and got the spoils of war...Corvette valve covers, very period correct, Tunnel ram, aluminum water pump, Moroso water pump drive, electric fan, gasser pedal, tach and a bunch of small misc. pieces and parts.

 

Very cool. What ever you don't need you can always pawn off on queerbay.

 

I'm sorry I missed that swap meet!! Looks like it was a good one

 

Great start!! What tranny are you going to use?

 

What size are the rear slicks ? These are 29x11 on a 10" rim.

 

Where's the progress pics?!?!?!

 

I'm running 29.5x10.5 on the back with a 10" rim. As for progress, im at a stand still at the moment with school. Hoping to get some stuff going in the next couple weeks tho

 

I had to redrill the front hubs to bolt on the GM bolt pattern wheels. Got that done and started putting in the temporary rearend. The one im using is out being built. So i have this one so i can roll it around, I will finish putting that in tomorrow then hopefully Wednesday i actually start setting the car up.
