Projects LA HOT RODS Get's A 37 Pontiac Gasser Build

Got one welded up, I will dress up the welds after I get the other side welded.

 

Little progress. This is a slow prosses but liking the results.

 

Nicely done James...

 

Well got one rail dressed down. It may be time for a beer now.

 

Got the other rail dressed down. Now need to prep the end of the factory frame get it level and square.



I put slits in the factory rivets for my measuring points. My buddy got the fish plates cut out for me today. With luck I'll get this welded up this weekend.

 

Pretty happy with todays progress. Still have a few more inches to weld, just want to go slow about this.

 

Got a laser out and trying the get the front axle squared up and located. I do have the weight of the car resting on the springs now. Think I'm going to remove some leaf's to get the springs to settle so I can figure shackle location.

 

Those frame horns are absolutely exquisite!

 

Nice work! What are you using for the front springs?

 

They are from speedway.

 

Those frame horns look so right and I know you're taking care to ensure everything is straight, plumb and perfect before the fish plates go on. I'm guessing with a powerfully built 409 pulling that front end up at launch, when it comes back down 60 feet down the track it will be solid as an I-beam.
