Projects Progress on the '54 this weekend!!!

Nope I didn't miss that part....I stand by my words.

 

OK " Salty " then your still a DUMBASS and have no sense of humor. Apologies to ttarver for the interuption. Again your car looks great

 

This is a very cool project. Do everyone a favor and take this "You're a dumbass" discussion offline.

 

Agree..
Salty there is a PM function...
now i'll be the dumbass..cant wait for the PM

 

Bitchen! What did you pay for the motor and tranny? and where can I order one for my 54 coupe?

 

how does this one sound everybody; a flathead in a Camaro...Clarence Everett (rest in peace) did that one at B/ville in the 70s or 80s...he also held the record in XF/STR (flathead streetroadster) from '71 till into the '90s...Now THAT'S a FORD in a chevy...but 'nuff of that B.S. in this thread..let's get on with the 54 Chevy build;it's inspiring guys to get off their computer and get out in the garage!!!!!!!!!!

 

Awesome progress. Thumbs up for the Bulldog I'm guessing you bought your floor pans drdave? The ones I found were a bit expensive.

 

Hey ttarver, Whatd you do for the tranny crossmember? Looks great! Looks like your really taking your time and doin it right and do the car justice. Mines taking forever for the very same reason, cleanin and paintin everything. Weird question, but what paint did you use on the firewall and core support?

 

Looking good, But why did you cut the lower seat bracing out?

The notch kit from Alex is designed to fit in without cutting that bracing.

Just wondering.

 

I used walton fab motor mounts and tranny crossmember. I highly recommend both as they went right in with no issues and I didn't even trial fit the motor/tranny. It all bolted right in without a hitch and they are an alliance vendor! As for the paint I used regular old Rustoleum Proffessional Series rattle can in satin black.

 

Yeah I probably didn't have to do that. I guess I got trigger happy with the sawzall. I plan on closing off the trunk from the rest of the car with sheet metal. It will be all cleaned up and legit when I'm done.

 

Damn lucky (or i spose just good quality)! haha, with my luck, without a test fit, nothing would fit right. Is it a universal tranny member? im looking at runnin a t5, Ive seen a ton of those tranny x-members but all designed for automatics and nothin for t5. As for paint, Im using the same stuff but the gloss, Im hopin it stands the test of time!

 

Wow, man. You've been busy. Glad you're giving that car the attention I couldn't. Looks like you've got quite a bit done!

 

good luck

 

Lookin good,keep us posted.

 

That looks fandamntastic!

Good to see that car loved on, though I wish I coulda seen that kinda work done on it when it was still in DFW. *CoughEricCough*

Great motivation bro, you got me ready to run down to the garage and start pounding out some sheet metal. But Im beat from a days work, but I will be in my garage tomorrow evening for sure. I got a case of the mondays.
