    I have one that’s decent. It has three small cracks at the top though. I’m going to try and weld it. I might be interested in yours.

  5. The part I have is the upper shell &the inter support. The
    lower bottom part of the that covers the lower tank is
    missing. The parts that I do have is in very good shape.
    If you are unable to repair your shell get back with me and
    I will send you some pictures . I think shipping will be
    pricey due to the size. Thanks for your interest. Jerry
     
  6. Check on parts for sell. I just put it Back for sell so I could
    send you some pictures of the Grill Shell

    I am interested. IDK how well I'll be able to repair mine. I looked in parts for sale. I didn't see it. I don't get this site yet. I'm used to sending private messages for this sort of thing. Haven't figured out the "start a conversation" here yet. I would like to see pics. Thanks!

    I found your for sale ad. Hard to tell condition from your pics.
     
  10. They are the only pictures I made of the Grille, Sorry.
    High cost of shipping Kills most of large parts I have tried
    to sell

    Never ran a tunnel ram before. Will be on a relatively mild 350 SBC. There will be a 700r4, with a mild stall converter, and rear gears are believed to be 3.55's. Thinking 750 pumper or vac sec. I think you're supposed to run a 50cc acel pump on tunnel ram. Whatcha think? I bet some will say 650. Might be right.

    A little update on my '32 Chevy project. I rebuilt the rear end (Mostly). Installed new axle bearings, seals, wheel cylinders, posi-carrier, etc. I have the engine and transmission located. The mounts are tacked in place until I pull the body off. I'm working on fitting a '32 Ford, with SBC, radiator to it. Gonna have to make some mounts and relocate the filler neck. Should work great. It's a risky choice. eBay radiator and fan. It was about $250! So I'll roll the dice. Have most pieces to be able to rig it up and fire the engine. That's when motivation soars! [​IMG]

    The engine will likely end up grey. A nod to the original engine color.
