Projects Update #4: The LEGION SPECIAL Gets Some Things Buttoned Up To POSE For NEW PICS!!!

OK, I've had a lot of requests for pics of The Legion Special on the ground. Well I was over at Seret Speed and Custom last night and we got a lot of little stuff buttoned up like the motor mounts, tranny mount and wishbone mounts, and I was able to get some photos.

We got some more planning out of the way too including how we will make the center/cowl steering setup. There's even a surprise in store when we finish the steering!

Tonight I'll probably get the master cylinder and brake pedal in - maybe even start the steering. Oh I also need to adjust the angle of the rearend by cutting and re-angling the rear bones.

Those motor mounts came out great. Nice work guys...

 

how much of that is from the Desoto you got from Dan ?

 

The way that the frame ties into the rear A Cross member is The Boss Hoss. Looks like it's going to be another stunner. At this rate, you may as well bring that too to the GNRS!

 

looks great! love the wide 5s

 

The engine block.

 

Kirk can I be your groupie?!

 

Car looks good but that new avatar is REALLY disturbing

 

here you go promoting yourself again.. ha ha

 

Oh Man !......the lightening holes, the wide 5's, the transition from the doors through the cowl, the narrow body.....this is gonna be a sexy little car !...........I'll meet up with ya somewhere this summer and we can trade cars for a spin !

 

Can I still be yours?

 

I know. I hope Mr. Custom doesn't see. I'll be SO embarrassed.

 

he may see it if you edit your title to, pictures of military themed hot rod trucks wanted..

 

looks great guys!!!

 

thats gonna be a blast to drive. looks like you got a nice shop there, too. whats gonna happen in the next 3 weeks?

 

This is turning into a super cool little car!!!!

I'm not sure about the sausage party avatar though and I thought your last one was creepy.

 

Thats looking really cool KIRK!
The car, not the avatar

 

I dig it! What are you going to run for rear shocks??

Do you know what hot dogs are made of?

 

nah brah, kirk is a vaginatarian, umm...vegetarian, his are tofurkey.

 

Armstrong lever type shocks front and rear.

 

Excellent choice! Those things are AWESOME and perfect for this build (IMO)! Out of curiosity, where did you find them? Are they pretty spendy now?

Suddenly I'm hungry for hot dogs...

 

Legion Special?

What the fuck happened to the Snuggle-O?
Or the snuggler express?

I am bereft in Uppsetitude.

 

I have had them for several years, but they are around. I only really see them on eBay because they are a European car part and don't show up very often at regular swap meets.

 

Gotcha! Well, great choice! Look forward to seeing them in the mix.

 

Looks great KIRK!......that is going to be a kick to drive.

 

Its looking good, lets get it running now.

 

looks DAMN good to me
