Finally Got Some Good Pics...

... of my 51 post notch.

 

Looks good. What are you going to do about lowering the front? Or are you going for an extreme taildragger stance

 

The front is bagged, but I need dropped spindles to get it low enough.

 

Turned out nice, good job!

 

Thanks!

 

looks great...

 

In the trunk:

 

Hmm... that's a good idea for tucking the gas tank. I've been thinking about how to do it on my '54 and I like your way much better than what I was thinking. Is that top pic with the front end completely aired out? If so, I might have to figure on dropped spindles too.

Good stuff!

 

lookin good!

 

Ya the top pic of totally aired out.

 

Bitchen work man but seeing these pictures make me appreciate a chop top.

 

You made me PhotoChop it. DAMN!

 

it looks great...contemplating the notch on my '53 moredoor....again...great job

 

Looks real good even better when chopped.

 

What park is that ? is it Legg lake?

 

No, its Mile Square park in Fountain Valley.

 

Whats next for the the 51?

 

Well I really SHOULD do the interior, but here is the list of what I want to do:

Grille Teeth
Headlamp Eyebrows
Taillights in the bumper guards
Interior

I still have to put the inner fenders back in and build a tunnel though. Oh and a trunk floor. That will hopefully go quick though. But first, I am going to drive it for a few days to make sure there are no bugs to work out of the notch.

 

Good luck man! it looks real good i here you about running in to problems im steal working on the trunk floors and the tunnel on my 54.

 

Oh, yes. I like this very much. What colors are you contemplating when the body work is done. For some reason Candy Green with small flake comes to mind.

 

do you have dropped spindles in the 54?

 

I am not sure what color its going to be. Green has definatly been a thought, so has gold and blue.

 

NO it has a mustang 2 with air bags.

 

Here is a pic of the frame.

 

both of your cars look great, i worked on my 49 tonight, and mocked up the motor and tranny so i can make some mounts. its incouraging to see some rolling

 

The green with that chop will look real good,are really going to chop it?

 

Looks good, I like how low the frame looks in that attached pic.
By the way, where did you get the cone center caps for your wheels?

 

I would like to chop it, but I dont think I have the skill to pull it off right. And all the quotes I have gotten are arround $6k.

 

WOW! 6k start saving i think it is worth it as long as they do a good job it is alot of work from what i have seen.

 

Oh its definatly worth it. But I have a kid on the way, and I need to remodel the house before that. Maybe afterwards, but it depends on how my business is.
