Projects Truck into a coupe- My next pet project

Hold my beer and watch this...
Engine is under the bench behind the fan

Pistons are for the project after this one so pay them no mind.

 

That's going to take alot of beers. Good luck.

Toxic Waste

 

Got about an hour in on this today, in between stuff.
Probably not more that 5 mins at a time

 

it's an automatic....you building a planter?

 

Managed to squeak in about another 30 mins.
Cut up blocks of time but its getting done, like saving loose change

 

Been measuring this ....

 

Different chassis-
Start with an original frame fresh from the blaster.

 

Measuring to see how that hemi will fit in here.
Surgery required

 

Love any thread that starts of with "hold my beer and watch this" HRP

 

Ill be keeping this rear end , so I had to re drill the axles ( thanks rottenlenard) to mount these 16x11 ETs with 345 tires ( thanks weasel).
I just had to stare at it for a while.

 

One night a few months ago, me and my honey were enjoying some tequila and the engine hoist. She asked "wheres that engine you started up on the stand, you remember- it was shaking the building! what did you do with that?" I said "oh thats the 392 hemi and its sitting under the bench." So she says shouldn't that be in a car? Go find one that needs a hemi! I love her !!!

 

There is not a doubt in my mind that you will get a lot of guys asking does your wife have a sister! HRP

 

I get that a lot

 

Them ETs looked a lot better than the sawhorse!

 

What's it, what's it, Nobody likes a tease. Are you just trying to pull out enough to win the turkey, or what?

 

soooooooo......muuuuch.........suuuuurface area. . .........ha, better you than me. . Gonna look nice when it's done

 

It's a hot rod !!! can't you tell?
I need to correct a few things, namely the chassis.
We've nicknamed it Elvis. I think It's cool as hell and you'll probably not see another one like it. That's all I'm saying till I get some of this to a more traditional level.

 

Like a good fan dancer,they make you wonder what dose it really look like behind them fans

 

This is Elvis

 

I'm thinking maybe a dodge double dip axle i have here with a 32 crossmember.
Maybe spring behind or move the crossmember forward.

Oh and all this jockeying around gave me more room for the hemi, maybe just a dizzy tunnel will be needed.

 

I had to swap the chassis, realign the grill body lines, channel the ass end 2", stand the grill back to the correct angle, but now I need a new hood because that one was custom made to accommodate the goofy stuff.

 

Who wants to meet Priscilla?
She's behind the wooden box in the lower right hand corner.

 

I like it,alot

 

I'll bite, two or four wheels? or two or four legs?

 

Started the hemi up again yesterday.
She's ready to do her thing.
I see some cheap chrome covers in the future

 

I really like how the dodge axle works with the grille

 

^^Me to. The really complement each other.:thumbup:

Got the engine and Trans out of Priscilla and onto Elvis's former chassis.
Sweet little 350/350 combo. Tomorrow we will get the radiator, fuel, tank, battery on this chassis get her started and put it up for sale as a nearly complete ready for a body running platform.
Maybe ill hunt a body for it too while I'm waiting for a buyer.

 

Right on schedule !

 

Busy week, but today was a lot of screwing around making spring mounts for the dodge axle. Not much to show 8 little pieces that would easily fit in your pocket - cut sanded, rounded and polished. My Plan for tomorrow is to get them fit and welded to the axle.
