frame is done, motor almost

Have the frame done on my 28 chevy street rod project. The motor just got painted also and is waiting the re-marriage.
When that is done I'll run the lines and everything that will be easier with it in it's present condition.
The main work on the body is mostly done as well as ALL the wood (God bless me).

Great to see things coming along Jim- I'm still in the midst of teardown/degreasing/etc!

Hope all is well, Bill

 

how did you mount the shocks to the front leafs? did you make the top shock mounts? I like the clean look of it, good job

 

Yep, made the shock mounts top & bottom. Wasn't too bad.
Thanks for the compliments. Will post a pict of the engine when done and when mounted.
Jim

 

Guess I didn't explain the bottom mounts. Heavy angle iron bolted thru the u bolts

 

when you get a chance could you take a pic or two. I've got an idea in my head, but want to compare with what you did.

 

Frame looks great

Lets see some more detailed pics

I would like to see some pictures too. Also What are those shocks from & p/n if you have it.
Thanks

 

Looks great! Did you ever consider putting the shackles on the front of the front leaf springs? I heard somewhere that doing that would minimize bump steer.

 

My 35 has the shackles in the front

Put the motor back on, hopefully for the last time
