This is a killer build and I'm glad your vision is becoming a reality! Can't wait to see the interior done!
I've got a 47 Dodge Wheel that was recast by Steeringwheel Kris [ATTACH]
Thanks, pretty happy with how it has come together! The gauge cluster was NOS and I had a company just up the road, Bendigo Instrument services...
That is looking fantastic, can't wait to see it back together in 25
Thanks for the tip, I will tweak that.
Hey Andy, I've finally gotten some closer images of the carb setup. This is a custom so under the bonnet isn't pretty! We have spent many hours...
Hey Andy, It's timely you ask about the Triples, they are proving a problem and just today I've taken them off and given them to a guy in town...
Loving this build, you are doing a brilliant job!
Well spotted, the car is running a 727 Torqueflite, the buttons are from an Australian Valiant AP5. The bumpers have been tucked in, when I got...
Here's a few from my just completed 40 Chrysler [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Glass is in and the list of jobs to do is getting a lot shorter now. Hopefully in the next few weeks I will be ready for final engineering sign...
We are getting closer now, the interior is now in, now for all of the other finishing off jobs like fitting glass, tuning the carbs and getting it...
Got the back end sitting an inch lower, will have to change the front springs to lift the nose a touch for better steering geometry.[ATTACH]...
Took the car for a quick run down the road, the front suspension has settled and dropped a lot, current stance needs to be swapped :-) Will...
Absolutely love this build and the parts choices along the way.
Glad you are enjoying the build, even though it has dragged out a while. It's funny you are running a 331 as I have a 341 Desoto Hemi I purchased...
I wanted to get most of the dirty work out of the way before I put them on, but I wish I had done it sooner as the level of inspiration has risen....
Thanks @31Apickup and @j hansen I am slowly getting it closer to the vision I had.

Change of shoes, bit of adjustment to get the stance right but we are getting there! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Still chipping away at a few jobs before the car heads off to the trimmers, bonnet (hood) is now on along with the front bumper and loads of other...
We put the front together over the weekend and got it sitting in place now that we have the car running. Slowly getting ready for a road...
Tail lights are Dodge/Plymouth and were already on the car when I got it. We moved them up so they weren't pointing at the ground and fitted the...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] A little more progress finally! Exhaust system is completed and we had a preview with the bumper on to ensure we had the...
Not a heap of progress over Christmas and New Year, aside from hanging the doors and bootlid back on. We have a few things to sort out with the...
Thanks to everyone posting in this, it is helping me decide on final trim for my 40 Chrysler
Thanks for that, I'm sure we could make something similar easily enough.
Yeah I don't have any sill plates at all for the car so I will have to make something suitable. The headlights are a big improvement, and it's...
Hagan rings are gone, made some clips to suit the Ford Rings, a little more fine tuning needed but WAAAAAYY better than the Hagan rings[ATTACH]
I bought a roll of some original style vinyl fenderwelt which seems to be good
