Projects Enough monkeying around: let's build a 5w, or another 4dr bites the big one.

See now if you went with that HEMI I would have said you could have done some real damage....but that little Y block is only going to shear some axle keys at worst case scenario.

 

This is fun. subscribed........

JJ, I have 2 words for you to fix your problem. "Halibrand Columbia". You wont have to cut the frams up for the transmission, it is trad, and it works. here ia a link to look at HERE. Looks cools as hell. Only problem is having pockets deep enough to do it.

 

Andy, The frame mods are looking great. When are you gonna show off some of those tig welding skills?

 

im hooked...

 

I'm not picky, I'd be happy with just the columbia .

 

Haha, thanks man, maybe when I weld something nice enough to show off!

 

Yup

 

Andy, what kind of TIG did ya get? I just got my first TIG machine, a Miller diversion 180. Lets just say I'm still learning. Mild steel is cake, but aluminum....forget it. I tried to weld 18ga. aluminum yesterday.....haha....what a mess.

 

Andy, I am stoked to say that I once owned a part that will be in this ride

I am always amazed at your tenacity!

as for JJ's question, couldnt a f-1 crossmember and pedals do the trick?

I know its not pre 47 but its atleast pre 52

 

Joe, it's a lincoln precision TIG 185, it's loads of fun so far but yeah... I'm also "still learning" haha! I haven't attempted aluminum yet...

thanks man, f1's work really well in an A frame but would be a definite downgrade from the stock xmember in a later car, could be made to work by adding front and rear legs but a LOT of work... I would only consider it if I had a frame with no xmember.

 

damn man, you werent kidding when you told me you were going to thrash on this thing! keep it coming!

 

Yep, it's all business over here Keith, haha!

yum!




And went from this...

to this...

 

Bad ass Andy! Go man Go!

 

Nice project, nice to see things built quickly, something I just can't seam to do.

 

inspirational.

 

Looking Good Andy! Can't wait to see the final product!

 

yea that makes sense, for some reason I wasn't thinking about the xmember?

the cowl looks DIALED bro!

I cant wait to see this gal with some quarters on her!!!

 

Andy,

Looks Great! YOU RULE!!!!

 

awsome

 

fascinating build, i'm gonna keep watchin'

 

Thanks fellas, not much to report today, all I did was clear all the crap off the roof that has accumulated since I plopped the body down in the garage. Getting prepared to slice it into bite size chunks this weekend...

 

Cool!

Cut, cut, cut.

 

I'll sit here anxiously waiting.

 

Subscribing.

 

VERY COOL Andy!!
Another killer hot rod is being brought to life by you!!

 

Like what my girlfriend told me.....More please...

 

dammit... gotta go work on other people's cars for a while. It's like Y block paradise around here lately, haha!
