Well I know i keap saying that "ok ok im gonna tear it down and build it up nice" but realy i keap finding small-Big things to do before i can. here is a picture by picture walk down memory lane before the big DECONSTRUCION! This picture is acouple weeks after i bought it, some might remember me asking how the hell i was going to fit in it? being 6'5 Now in this picture you can see i built new sub-rails and z'd the frame blah blah and got the rear 56 old axle in place. In this picture you can clearly see a very Drunk Slamcouver enjoying his someday hotrod. All mocked up and ready to slap the 59A in! i was pretty excited at this point! Here is the first time I actualy had it rolling, about september, put some crappy primer and a 5 to get motivation. This is how it sits today, I just got done moving the rear quarter panels up 6'' to give the apperance of a roadster rather than just a hacked up coupe. Now I finaly will be taking it all apart to get the frame painted finished bead blast the body and finish the small metal work that needs to be done and finaly start building it to drive. wish me luck.
I was going to install a drop axle but I think I like how the stance turned out. It realy breaks my back pushing it up the slanted driveway everytime I want to take some pictures.
Looks great hope mine turns out that good. What size tires you got on it? And the front axle is stock?
"looks great hope mine turns out that good. What size tires you got on it? And the front axle is stock?" thanks Gator, i have 15'' wheels tires up front and back with a 36 axle converted to juice brakes. 'keep up the good work looking good you will be driving it soon....jeffrey' Thanks jeff, I dont know about soon but maybe in half a year or so. 'How much of a Z did you put into the frame? It looks good to me!' as for the frame modifications its fully boxed with a 4'' z in front and stretched 8 inches in the back with a 2'' kickup.
