Hot Rods Cody Walls Builds 32 Ford 3 window coupe “The Ardun Killer “ .

car is coming along great...going to bad ass... that engine is going to be killer..

 

I’ve had the quarters on and off a bunch of time with screws . Just to mock everything up . With me doing rear floor section it’s way easier to have them off. Once I get the floor done for good I’ll put them on for good

 

Thank you

 

Happy New year

 

So cool.

 

Christmas in January , my Walden Kinmont brakes showed up .

 

...Art in Metal...I said it before and I'll say it again...

 

Everything else is real on the car, how about finding some real Kinmonts too?

 

What's the going rate for those these days?

 

I plan on driving this thing like all the rest of my builds , I have an extremely heavy lead foot and Ide like to stop .

 

The last complete real front and rear set I saw were 20k

 

...Hole E Cow...those do look really awesome...

 

Damn Cody, you just broke the COOL setting on my computer. Those brakes are awesome.

 

Amen Cody, me too. Just phenomenal work on your build.

 

Those are the CATS ASS Simply beautiful.

 

Great look, fantastic style.

 

They stop fine if they're set up correctly, just like any other brake. I have less than half that in my complete set, but not as a complete set over the span of a decade.

Some finned Buick drums would be era appropriate, stop well, look cool, and not break the bank. /shrug

 

Looking great!!!

 

Thank you

 

@Cody Walls I’m sure you’ve seen this picture before but I thought I’d post it up for those that haven’t. Keep up the awesome work

 

Scholars Course in rare Hot Rod stuff. I didn't even know most of these speed parts existed before this thread, and you're putting 'em all on one car. Amazeballs!!

The work is off the hook of course. We expect no less!

 

Yes indeed , so bitchin

 

Thanks ,it took along time to hunt all these parts down

 

You had a great vision of what you wanted and from the looks of it haven't compromised that vision, regardless of how long it takes to get the parts! Well done!

 

Nice choice on the brakes Cody... may need to have Marshall do those on my 36 3w.. guess I better start saving up...
looks great man ! It was so fun watching the six run at the shop...

 

Ok, this is embarrassing, but I have never seen an engine like that. What did it come out of? Thanks.

 

Just my $.02, I'm not a Chevy 6 guy, but judging by the beginning
of this thread it's a Chevy 6 of early '50s. Here's a better pic of one.
Both of these are regular Chevy heads. What I'm sure Cody will have is
the big GMC version with a Wayne head. Earlier in this thread
Cody has some pix.

 

Thank you.

 

What it is , is a 1950s Chevy 261 , the stovebolt era 6 cylinder . that is punched out to a 272 with a Wayne 12 port Chevy head , Wayne made very few Chevy heads compared to the Wayne GMC head . Which the heads are totally different and nothing interchanges between them.

I went with the Chevy because it’s length wise shorter and a better fit in my 3 window than the gmc Jimmy motor

 

Thank you. ​
