Victoria Secret

Sorry to hear that Skip...

The car's gonna be a beauty, but we can wait!

 

How on earth did you drive up on those ramps

 

Ha ha I put them that way so the car does not roll off.....poor man's car lift.

 

good question.

 

Seemed logical to me.

 

All of the fresh air ducting is rebuilt and installed and now the Powergen will be installed. I have to fabricate all the bracketry.

 

Nice Skipper, and Brake lines look great as well!

 

I've been following this build, and I commend you on your attention to detail. That chop is inspiring in it's perfection.

 

My wife says I am crazy.......parts drying "Area 51"

 

what a cool build.. iv been following this since you started it.. yeah, should of signed up then.. but, whatever.. anyhow, great build.. look forward to future progress. keep up the good work
chris.

 

Screw the cars, I want to come visit the house!!!

 

Haven't been on this thread in a while, firstly let me say I'm so sorry to you and your wife on the loss of her Mom, an inevitability that never gets easier or better. Went through it two years ago with my own Mom. Secondly still totally impressed with your build and your attention to detail even with home done work. Outstanding stuff especially for a poor man....I use the same technique with my ramps....

 

Sorry for you and your wife's loss.
I just found this thread. Simply amazing. Royal, you are a good man.

 

Looking really good Skip, I can't wait to see it Friday!

 

Thanks Josh....Car is back on the ground again and installed the new balanced driveline.

 

Best build I have ever witnessed on here. Unreal.

 

Thats purty!!!!!

 

Looks great Royal!! I'm loving every piece of this build.

Thanks Bryan...I have been sidetracked lately with life. Getting back swinging again.

 

Oh man Skipper, that engine bay looks fantastical!!!!! Nice looking, clean and a thing of beauty!!! Great to see some updates. If I can finish my car at least I can live through you.

 

Yeah, I read about that....tough stuff for sure. Glad to see you back at it.

 

Was able to work on the car today....I fit the NOS splash apron that I bought on Epay.

 

Open wide...

 

A special HAMBer needed some photos of the car so I installed the grill and took the car outside for some photos.

 

Skip, The shoebox is sure looking great. Looks like you are getting down to ifinishing details. Bet it will be a true eye popper. Looking forward to the next update.

That looks great,this is one of my favourite build threads and it just gets better every time i check it.Keep it up!

 

Simply awesome! It makes me want to tear mine apart and start over.

 

nice keep on

 

Very nice use of the Chevy grille teeth. That's one of the best shoebox grille swaps I've ever seen, and I'm not usually a fan of '53 Chev teeth.
