My modified project (with pics)

yeah the new one is cleaner. and your still kicking my ***

 

Looking good. I like the black and white. It makes it easier to look at the whole thing as one and appreciate the proportions etc.

Pete

 

thanks !
another b&w pic.

 

What a great build keep the updates coming.

 

Spent some time to rebolt some parts on the engine, intake, exhaust, ignition...and fired the engine, just for the motivation !

after that I will work again on the ch***is, to finish some details and try to have soon a real rolling ch***is.

 

how far is the front of the cowl from the first part of the grille??

 

hard to say like this, need to make some mesurements next time I go the the garage (15 miles from my home)

 

Very kool thread- I really like the header! I can't wait to see what else happens- you've got a good eye E!

 

Etienne,
dammit... I just found this thread.
this project RULES.
I love it with the hood on it- are you going to run it?
either way its Rad... nice work man-

Tuck

 

Thanks !

i don't know for the hood. I believe without hood, but I will maybe try with, but it's maybe too long to use a hood, maybe not good for the general stance & design. And with this exhaust and carbs, not easy...

 

salut etienne

 

mayn, just now seeing this thread and love your build! Im a ****er for modifieds and love your IL6 setup too! Keep up the good work!

 

I've really enjoyed watching your build. Very nice work.

Have you thought about using just a hood top (no sides)? Those carbs might look pretty cool poking up through it.

 

sorry, no very interesting news.
After some long night thinking about it, I've decided to rebuilt the frame of the project, du to some bad weldings, lots of details to change, and some needed modifications, the best way is to rebuilt it to have something better at the end.
the frame is now built with open tube, so, crossmebers will be welded inside, like some some gussets, also welded nuts inside, following by boxing the all thing.
maybe a little longer, but the frame will be stronger, safer and lots of details improved.

 

Tough call. But good for you making it if that's what it needs. Keep us posted

Pete

 

Keep the faith Mon Ami!

No such thing as a car thats too safe!

 

some progress on the new frame, almost ready to get soon the axles

 

the new frame is now on wheels again

 

Just found this thread, and I'm totally impressed. Great fabrication skills with a good eye for the modified stance.

Keep up the good work...truly inspiring.

 

Impressive build. Like Greaser I just found it and spent the last hour reading the whole thing. I visualize many of your ideas and solutions being used on a lot of vehicles in future HAMB members builds.

 

thanks !

 

Looks really good! Can't wait to see the "finished" project! (That is, if a hot rod can truly be finished.)

 

engine is back on the ch***is !

 

Oh yea! Looking good!

 

The project has changed a little, so, I've started a new thread:
