Projects BACK AT IT FINALLY!! RE-BUILD OF AN EARLY CHEVY COUPE WITH A HEMI

Yeah man thanks - the only snag of this deed was that the lower alternator mount setup on the driver's side could not work because of my Vega steering box in the way... So looking up another lower alternator mount at Hot Heads, showed that the one I got from them can work on either side of the timing cover. Which could cause another problem of clearance issues from the lower radiator hose - we'll see...

 

Thank you for the kind words - I'm so psyched, now that the weather is FINALLY cooling down, my build will move along nicely in the garage...

 

Very cool and inspiration for others with "long term" projects.

 

Thanks for your compliments! Funny you mentioned this... Is it possible that I may have one of the LONGEST build length threads on the HAMB???

 

Forgot to mention to wish you the best on your '34 Ford 5 window coupe project as well!

 

My is 2 years older.

 

And mine is right between them. So are we competing for the least productive award?

 

Wish you the best on your '27 Tall T build!

Most likely not, as my goal is 2025 to get my '31 back on the street for my 30 year anniversary of ownership. I'm closer than ever...

 

If we are, I'm at 26 years and it's not looking good for me to complete mine

 

I hear you! Of course all our projects are older than out threads too. Glad I have young grandkids.

 

Just looked at your profile page and did not see any build that you're working on... What are you working on Mr. Stevens - is the project drivable at least?

 

It's a 58 Chevy Biscayne 2 door restomod and no it's not driveable. Unfortunately life has gotten in the way of me being able to work on it, at least for the near future. I am recovering from colon cancer surgery, my 3rd bout with cancer, so I am a spectator watching what others are doing.

 

Dick, Hope your recovery goes well and you are back at it soon. They are so much better at dealing with cancer than just a few years ago.

 

@Dick Stevens , wish you well with your recovery.

 

X2 - keep up reading on the HAMB as you've been doing for inspiration on your '58.

 

Wanted to wish all of the HAMB members on my build thread a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

 

Mike, the rod is looking great. Hope to see it soon

 

You and me both!!! Shootin' for 2025, my 30th anniversary of ownership!!

 

Cool deal, hopefully right behind ya. I do have the 52 Dodge to drive in the meantime.

Happy Thanksgiving

John
