Finally got it out of the garage for a bit.

Finally was able to get a decent shot of my '49. This is right before I loaded it to go to the exhaust shop. Should be done tomorrow.

 

Looking good. What elese do you have planned for it? Custom or by the looks of the wheels something else?

 

When you get the exhaust done and the brakes working Can I drive it? You
can follow in the ElCamino.

Knowing the history and effort in this car It is one of my favorites. Besides
the fact I have spent several hours under it on too short jackstands working on the transmission. And don't forget cutting coil springs with a dremel tool.

Of course you can..

In fact I thought I had the brakes sorted out, but just as I was loading it onto the trailer one of the front ones decided to start locking up..

 

Nice. What engine you running?

 

Cool, man. I dig those wheels. Tell us more!

..."cutting coils with a dremel"... oh man, I've been there! Just gotta make due with the tools you have

git - r done

 

Its has a 327 w/ M-20 4 speed. I've been back and forth on what to do with this car, but I've decided to just make it a "hot rod". Not custom stuff done to the body or anything, except for maybe a louvered hood and shaved handles. Use the wheels that are on it now and that's pretty much it.

 

Its great to finally see it out of the garage again. Maybe one of these days we can finish the paint job.

 

Looks like a nice ole body. I like the wheels that's on it. TP

 

The easiest way to get that baby lookin better is too spend as much time as possible coming around corners sideways in it

If you just wanna go for the "god damn,thats a cool old car" look, you got it NAILED!!!!

after the brakes r done, its all about MILEAGE

 

I like it !!!

 

Here's a hint of what is to come in the future for this car.. I got almost a complete setup for an SBC, but I need an idler pulley and a few small things to complete it.

 

So you're saying this one won't be slow & low?

 

So thats gonna be a running shoe!

:thumbsup:

 

Did you move the gas intake? Just wondering mine is higher up, but mines a 50.

 

nope, stock place for '49. '49s had the exposed cap, 50's should have a door on it.

 

I can't wait to see & hear it w/ the Paxton. *****in' work, looks great.

 

Or Vortech, whichever you're going with, it oughtta sound killer.

 

Here's the air cleaner..AKA giant aluminum can

 

I kinda miss the copper wheels but I am just glad to see you are gonna be on the road soon with it.

 

I still have the copper wheels and might go back to them anyway.. These 5-spokes are VERY close to the fender lip
