Projects 50 Chevy Southeast Gasser build (Purple People Eater)

Do you have a build thread? I believe I could squeeze at least one more in

 

No, been thinking about it though. Might start one later when there's more progress to show.

Nice

 

I got the majority of the roll cage finished last night. Not installing the main hoop cross bar or the door bars until later in the build. Seats showed up yesterday too. I decided to go ahead and use the factory sheet metal for now. Going to start on the tilt front end, gutting the doors, pinning the deck lid, and take care of the surface rust, and get some primer on it. Then after that I hope to focus on engine/trans mounts, driveshaft loop, ladder bar crossmember, and rear suspension.

Check out my build thread on putting your front sheet metal together and making it tilt.
Works slick and was easy to do.

 

Looks Great !

 

I've already been looking! Haha thanks

Started on the tilt front end. Didn't get very far yet. Decided to use heim joints for the pivots, and 1" tubing seeing how I have some laying around.

Don't know how I missed this thread. Looking good!

 

Nice build. Will be following along and probably stealing some of your ideas.

 

Where are you getting the gl*** doors from?

Really nice build, I love those old sedans, even better as a g***er. On my 40 in my aviator, I'm going to bend up some 1 1/8 tubing a buddy has to mount the seats. Bend it in a U or C shape and weld it to the rocker bar. I'll run a brace down to the frame also.
