Love the Straight eight man. I would like to see some suspension pics when you get some.. ~ Has anybody else noticed the Gigantic toolbox in the background? That thing is as big as my entire garage.
I'm on the West side also. I am just about to start my model A project on top of my 62impala project on top of my 49 truck project and 72 cuda project (damn i need to finish one). me and my Buddie are looking for more rodders to raise some hell with. 904.314.9347 Jamie

i am sure all of you are chassis engineering brianiaks. but here is a good link on bagging an open wheeled car. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=79778&highlight=dodgerodder+chassis+air
Got to have the tools.. I finally got myself a lift this summer, but we sort of had to raise the roof a little to make it possible. 2 hours and 15 minutes from the time we lifted off the roof until we were ready to set it back down on the new walls. Went from 8 to 14 feet. The other end of the shop is a nicely equipped machine shop, Bridgeport, Lathe, surface grinder, mandrel bender, MIG, TIG, Stick, Plasma.. We do it all here. (Did I mention the 16 x 30 paint booth?!? Enjoy the pics.. We had no idea if the whole roof was going to collapse or what, but it all turned out great.. JJ
Yup....I'm deffinatly commin over to check out your digs...pm your flavor of choice, I'll come bearing gift
You're retarded. I almost just took the bait, actually hit reply specifically so I could eloquently dispute your foolishness, but then I realized "who cares?!?" Do I care what some retard thinks of my car? No, I really don't. Go build a car and shut the fuck up. JJ
I like the straight eight. I am not familiar with them but I like the way they look. Yours looks like a mighty healthy/clean engine.
Yeah straight 8's are awesome, really smooth and i think the only reason they stopped making them was that long hoods went out of style in the fifties
a lil to low for my taste....but i live on gravel! lots of gravel! but i guess thats what the bags are for! love the motor....kool ass choice! ohh and the grill.....came off the front of something!!!!so, what did i win?????
The grill shell is early Buick kids.. Pretty rare piece. And yes Eric, as one of the previous builders of this car, you ought to have known that. (BTW, did I ever tell you I sold that Dynaflow out of it to some cat from Wisconsin for the princeley sum of $6.50??!!?? No shit, on eBay. $6.50 for the whole shebang, from flexplate to rear u-joints.) Cheers- Johnny
