    I think the 34/35 windows are the same, the frame crossmember is the only difference I wanna say. Now idk if any of that is interchangeable with 33

    I had a potential buyer and I took measurements of a lot of the pieces. My door is too narrow for these wood pieces. I believe the three window coupe has a longer (wider) door. that’s another reason why I think this wood is for a three window coupe.

    That makes sense that the doors are different, I feel like I’ve heard the sedan doors and 3 window doors may be interchangeable… but I’ve never measured

  4. ....and don't forget there was a standard and master series. standard stuff is smaller. a whole other set of wood.
     
  5. Have not checked in a while here, settling into our new home here in Lake Havasu City. As anyone can see, my garage is considerably much bigger and enjoyable to work in, INCLUDING A/C! I did manage to get another set of front tires from the fact that they were too tall (an inch less than my 29" tall Radir slicks). @snoop74, your interior is looking great... Jay, keep up the great work that you continue to show us! And welcome to our new members with their new Chevy projects!

    Steel A pillars are DONE!
    The DS test fit went well. I think the door will line up once I adjust the bottom of the A pillar back towards the bottom of the B pillar. Last pic is to show why I need to pull them together.

    I can’t do my usual APRIL FOOLS prank this year because I’ll be working and weatherman predicts rain. I drive around town in my 1963 Chevy C10 with a gas pump nozzle hanging out. The “hose” part is just an old bicycle inner tube stuffed with plastic grocery bags so it’s not flat.
    Here’s a video when I caught someone a few years ago. VIDEO LINK

  12. I would have thought the same thing, because of the four two's linkage?

    I’m happy to have found a local machinist who can mill and then sleeve the end of these T5 transmission main shafts. I have at least 5 main shafts that need to be done. Then I can rebuild these T5s and get some of the clutter out of my shop.

    Yes sir. Then I had to shave down the front because the driver side hit my risers. Ofc these are also a little taller that the eddlebrock so they hit the firewall as well.. so I had to beat on the freshly painted firewall as well.. took like 4 hours to fit some valve covers

    The edlebrock have a thinner flange around the covers vs the moons. So had to notch it in several places.. it was nerve wracking after I downtown that much money lol
