Projects A New Deuce Project.....Chevy II style!

Guy in Wisconsin makes them. Use with the Weld Wheels and the 10 1/8" cap just hides the holes. I think I'll round up a set of mis-matched wheels. Maybe a pair of skinny 5 spokes, or Cragars, and Chrome steelies or painted steelies for the back.

 

How much longer before you are ready to sell it to me?

 

This build is just amazing

 

I have to see if it'll make a 10 second p*** first!

 

A cakewalk, but don't sell it.

 

Doesn’t look much different but it’s wired, plumbed, 327 valve covers and exhaust is next!

 

So close! Gonna have it ready for GG's in Des Moines?

 

The attention to detail is exactly what I love to see. This build tops all those way over the top modified builds in my mind. Just wish it was in my garage!

 

It might be ready by then…… but we’re headed out to Colorado Springs to visit my daughter. It’ll be there next year!

 

Very nicely done

 

Couple more, had some help to get the hood on. Everything fits OK even though the front sub, one front fender and hood were from another car. Got the 327 valve cover laying on there. The heads have a raised rail and I thought they might clear but the rockers just touch the bottom of the AN fittings, even t******* back as much as possible.

 

So cool!

 

Can I order a duplicate? This is just right as right gets

 

Headed out for the carpet and headliner, then I need to make some 3” exhaust.

 

@Roadsir what a beauty keep up the great work!!

 

It will actually be a shàme to cover all that floor work with carpet.
Have you ever seen a pair of these factory filler plates, they support the carpet from falling into that channel on each side of the tunnel, damn rare, curious if they are being reproduced.

 

Let the drooling begin...... again. The workmanship is over the top.

 

Needs a number 14 on the door and some Fairmont mud! Excellent workmanship there buddy!

 

I did not know that part existed and I haven't seen any listed as being reproduced. You need to get that car on the road....!

 

Thanks! I've got pics somewhere of #14 Chevy II Nova that Jim ran after the modifieds maybe 1973?

 

Hey thanks! When I realized I wouldn't have it on the road last fall I decided to step away, as there were many just small tasks that just end up taking more time, header fit, several starters. Research on weekends, order stuff on Sunday nights, wait for $5 fittings or connectors, or other small stuff, prectty soon 2 weeks p***. That said, I think I'm on the home stretch.

 

I’m going to have to go back to read this whole thread.
Your work is always impressive.

 

Yes, very impressive, I may just go back over it myself Larry, good thread.

 

3” exhaust ? I think that 2 1/2” would probably breathe the best and sound really nice behind that 327.
Doesn’t 3” become excessive and hard to control the exhaust noise level ?

 

Yeah, that's pretty big, my roadster has a 427 small block and it has 2&1/2" exhaust.
I have 2&1/4" for my Novas' 327.

 

…..But it’s a 427 with 540hp !

 

Apparently I forgot that.
Should be a hoot!

 

I'm reminded of this scene from the Cl***ic movie "Jaws"

In this case ..........Your gonna need bigger tires!

 

Like I said I should probably try finding time to read the whole thread
