Here's few pics of a local guys 26 Chev,, its a stocker but its still purty!! Cant wait to see your finished project! http://s239.photobucket.com/albums/ff198/Da_Tinman/26 chev/
the guy that is building /showing me how to do this one. now wants to make one for himself. not a chevy though. too much work!!!!
i'm tryin man. i dont really like working on cars all that much so when i start one of my projects i tend to try and get it done and done well as soon as possible. i am probably the only guy on this forum that doesnt like tinkering but thats the way it is. i am much more interested in driving my vehicles than working on them. get it done. and DRIVE IT!
Billy, I think that a few Hencmen are coming up this weekend, I will bring you that rad and shell. I could also throw that 9 inch in the truck too.
Man! It looks like you're doing a great job. I had a '34 truck a couple of decades ago and I replaced all the wood. What a pain! If I'd had the fabrication skills then I would have got rid of the wood like you're doing. Heck, I probably don't have the skills now but I'm ballsier than I was 20 years ago and would give it a go anyway I think. I wish I still had that '34. Anyway, good job. I love those old Chevy trucks and it looks like you're going to end up with something real nice and on a budget too. That's the way man!
thanks buddy. i was tickled pink we were able to use the tailgate with the chevrolet intact. we cut 5 1/2" off each side and as you can see it looks alright.
You and the Master JP keep up the good work!! Be sure to tell JP not to forget to salt the walkway?!! Henchmen c.c. rules!
update another fellow rodster set me up with a 30 chevy grill frame and i got the rear end at the shop too! <!-- / message --><!-- controls -->
Excellent work... I think I'll keep an eye on this as I am looking for ideas on how to replace the wood in my 30 Chevy as well.
Hey great looking shell. do you know where I can get one? Just kidding dude, but I think both are a great addition to the project! keep up the great work.
a menacing gang of hoods showed up at my buddies house. for some reason the scariest one handed me that shell and said cryptically we will talk. then they all jumped in this big ol 4x4 and roared off yelling WE WILL BE BACK! what can it all mean?
Must have been those Henchmen from F-town. Wait til you see the shit i did to this frame for my 31 chevy, got bored so i did some holes down the frame rails and sleeved them just before taking it up to the powder shop. looks baaaaaad.
Hey dude what did you do? Take Christmas off? I'm ready for some more photos! Lets get with it already or I'll have to send the Henchmen up there!!
well lets see... we decided to go with the suicide front end. so we recieved the spring /shackles etc. yesterday and today i am going to go pick up the steel for the frame. i just need to figure out what i am gonna use to haul it. it wont fit in the toyota !
oh yeah i need to find another cheap rear end . the one pictured is for a car and my front is from a truck.....
i wouldn't worry about that too much .... w/ big/littles you won't ever be swapping front to back anyway... i'd use the rearend you have if its a good one. my t will have 5.5 front and im using a 4.5 rear that i already had.
