Romancing The Stone***The Diamond Deuce** Part II

Last inside shot......

 

Another view.....

I wanted a push bar....but I may use the old original nerf bar....

 

different angle.....

 

Doors are all kleaned up.......

 

a little wider......

 

The old nerf just mocked up.....
use your imagination......and yes..its reversed...for now.....

 

The full monty.....

 

Speedy......

 

zing zing.....

 

I will post more later....lots of before and after shots.....And I mean alot.
things I've changed.....I switched to a nine inch...****canned the big halibrand.
waaaay too much$$$$$ to fix and the parts are truly obsolete.
A small V-8 would not handle the torque and horspower the 392 has.....

I almost nearly ditched the richmond for a spare Torqueflite....
but I stopped drinking and came to my senses.......










later.......

 

And as if I did not have enuff to complicate my life.....I bought this.....not the whole car.... just the body.

 

The previous owner wante to keep the frame and running gear...so we hammered a deal....I have enuff spare parts to git me a runner.
but for now the ruck will take precedent.

At anyrate.....I will post more on the truck this afternoon.

 

1320 feet ain't that far and trip will be quick.

surprisingly,thats were alot of time was spent....getting the right seat,proper angle and kicking the firewall out 2 inches.
I still may shorten the column closer to the 41 dash....we see.....
The seats are clam-shell 59 Austin bug-eye Sprite units.
Battery is located under the driver.

Admittly,these is not gonna be a 12 hour straight driver.....but 10 seconds of sheer terror and joy.

 

Well..yes...there my business cards.....
