51 taking longer than I expected. Been working too much I guess. Small updates. Painted the dash and got some gauges. Had to mock them up of...
My favorite. I have one.
Realized some pictures in my first post were missing. Fixed that. Another update. Nothing on the '49. But I did get the '51 driving and...
1951 two door. Clean Arizona title. Here's a link to a video. [MEDIA] Frame off. Entire frame is painted black. Underside of car and engine...
Yeah, I'll probably put it up for sale as son as it's more or less road worthy.
Little update. Prepped the 51 for a quick solid color paint job. Sprayed it. Came out ok I guess. [ATTACH] Ordered some wheels for it to get...
Awesome car. My favorite part about this thread was reading everyone's comment on how and what the OP should do and him disregarding everyone and...
Customize it man. Slam it. Throw a wild panel job on it. Get loud pipes. Whatever you want. It's your car. Where's the fun in having a car...
Had to get a new garage door installed and got hit with a crazy dust storm. All my crap was outside and an hour later it was like nothing...
I was just curious. I set one up in the '51 but didn't like how it came out so was looking for ideas for the '49.
Have you figured out your throttle cable yet?
Gonna need these both ha! I did see some tri-5 chevy wheels on ebay for pretty cheap. Definitely one of my favorites. Very space agey, atomicy...
Same exact ones in the 51 ha. the 3rd and 4th tubes were hitting on mine.
Didn't see a picture of the headers you're running but depending on how much the headers hit the linkage you might be able to use spacers on the...
Very nice. Car looks good. Those Detroit diesel wheels aren't traditional but I do like how they look.
Update. Picked up a steering wheel for the 51 and a 56 Chevy wheel for the 49. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] 51 is almost a driver. Had to cut the engine...
Just realized its a pretty crappy pic. But yeah it does hang a little past the frame.
What up man. I have a half assed pic I took. I'll take a better one tomorrow for you. [ATTACH]
My brother came and is staying with us here for a bit and I gotta tell you. Working on cars is so much easier with an extra set of hands....
Thanks man. I ended up setting up the steering similar to a cheap gocart style ha. Got it all working and painted and works great!
1951 Chevrolet fleet line 2 door. Money I was going to use to finish this fell through so it's up for grabs. 383 stroker with Muncie...
Thanks for the tip. Here's the another pic. Better I think.[ATTACH]
Took these pics before I brought it home [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Yeah man definitely a good looking car! This one was on it's way to be street rodded. MII set up, power steering, power brake booster, those...
Still working on it. I kind of burnt myself out with working a ton and feeling like no progress. Took a small break and well here's where I...
Sup man. I follow you on IG. Yeah this board has a problem with street rod stuff which is what that column/wheel is. It's ultimately your car so...
Keep going man. I need to put my shocks in too and for some reason am really dreading it.
Small update. Haven't really touched the car as everything seems to be on fire here. 110+ degrees everyday. On the upside I may be building a...
Nice man! Coming along great. Motivating me!
Looks great man! T-bird interior looks pretty good in there. It looks like you did some fab work on the window garnishes?
