31 Chevy Progress pics...yeah its a 6!

Ok, as per the resident genius's i've taken it upon myself to lose the original flathead idea and go with a Jimmy. Here's before and after pics in about a months time. Love for someone to photoshop some paint and wheels. I'm thinkin black.. big surprise huh. with moon disks or red wheels with whitewalls. Steer me obewan.

 

looks good, I dig inlines.
what trany ya using?

right on.

 

Thanks.. using a saginaw 4 speed.

 

what size inline you runnin? Looks good so far

 

cool
how much outta the roof?

ed

 

My photoshop skills **** at work...

 

My current plan is to run a 292 in the car. I also have 2 235's but i'm thinking the 292 will be the final choice. Making my own headers, 6 into 3 and straight out the back. The roof is chopped 4". Without channeling the car we figured the geometry would be screwey going any more.

 

It's got a killer look and I like the inline 6.COOL.......

 

Thanks Dog... Hoping to have it on the road early spring.

 

SWEET! engine's even the "proper" color. Had a '29 Chev in highschool Brings back fond memories! It looks wonderful. There should be lots of old hop up parts for the 292. Old stock car guys! Good Luck with 'er!

 

THANK GOD!!!

And good idea!!!

 

Nice looking ride, man. Happy 75th anniversary.

 

here's a local 31 coupe, has a "late" 235 hopped up a bit (and worn out now)

(pic is from when it was a fresh car last year at VLV)

 

That's an awsome ride. !

 

Looks Good. What did you do with the frontend, single or duel springs. Trying to get some ideas for my coupe.

You don't happen to have a picture of the frame only? I'm looking for a reference for the frame I got with my '32, want to make sure it's the correct frame.

 

Johnny,
We are about to have a 6 stack EFI for your 292.Should be avilable in about a month. Our computer erquire absolutely no tuning. Guaranteed! Pic shown is composite photoshop But a true likeness.

Nice, Very nice. I can't wait to see more progress.

 

that kind of takes all the fun out of it, eh?

 

msmbob.....you have a PM, i need more info...and my dad too!

 

msmbob. No doubt that would be *****in, keep me in the loop when you're ready to roll one out. I may have to unload some choppers quick!

 

Ok, here's the car. 6 months of work, 2 motors, and 5 ****** knuckles.

 

cripes! You don't waste any time, do you? Looks good! We need some more/larger pics!!!!

 

Only 5 ****** knuckles in a 6 month thrash? C'mon, tell the truth.

Again, that's a great looking ride Johnny....need more pics!

 

I am using a straight 6 in my 33 truck, but mine is not quite as cool as yours.... '33 207 splash oiled......

 

I'll post a bunch more pics here shortly. OH by the way, only 5 ****** knuckles, what i failed to mention is that they bled for 6 months. I have to give a lot of credit to EJ Kowalski for this build. Without his expertise, this wouldn't have happened.

 

I like the (18 inch?) wire wheels. Any smoothy cap that will fit a period Ford wire should pop right into those if you can't find Chevy caps.

Here are some more pics. I'm not sure how to size them any differently. Thanks for looking.

 

I will also be stripping the chrome from the radiator cowl and headlights. I've found out that they are actually br*** under the chrome. If anyone knows of a way, or a person that can strip the chrome, let me know. Thanks.

 

Very Very nice.....

how much if any wood is left?

 

All the wood is still there. Some of it was reinforced a bit, but most of the car was very solid. I'm having a hard time deciding if i want to cover the wood with panels or just leave it exposed.
