@Rikster Oops,you beat me to it! I thought that pic was from your site, but I couldn't seem to find it when I went looking. Your site is the...
@SuperFleye and @Radio King I can't recall where I found that pic of the Snooky Janich Ford. I've got a big file on my computer full of old...
Oh, wow, thanks so much for posting this. The Snooky Janich car is one of my three or four favorite customs. This picture may be my favorite front...
@ 4Woody and Flatoutflyin, Thanks to your info, I think I've got the mystery solved. BIG help!! @ Prewarcars4me Thank YOU...
Oh wow, that's above and beyond! Thanks so much!
@Kenneth Thanks. Yeah, that's the first thing I thought of. The instrument restoration service said that everything had been converted to...
I’ve got a restored ‘34 Plymouth gauge cluster that I’m attempting to use in my ‘35 5 window custom project. When the time...
I'll post more progress pics soon. It's a MESS in there right now. And, to be honest, I do actually put filters over the inside of exhaust vents...
I'm in between the various stages of the filler, sand, filler, sand, filler, sand, filler, sand, prime, sand, prime, sand, paint, sand, clear,...
Because of my frame mods, there was no room for the stock gas tank. I had to procure a long thin aftermarket unit (huh, huh...long thin unit) and...
Nice!! We're simultaneously building '35 5 windows in two very different styles. I'll race you to the finish!
Don't let that first picture fool you. It was a fairly rough car hidden under a paint job that looks good in small internet pictures. When I got...
And, here's a quick before and after of the shortened tail light brackets.
Because I kicked the frame up so high in the trunk area, the floor needed to be raised pretty radically from the transmission back. I used a few...
While I wait for clear coat to dry, Ill add a few more 35 build updates: The floor had some rust issues, including a pretty funky riveted panel...
I wanted to do something with the headlights that was a little different than the usual ‘40 chevy route. Something a little shorter and not...
Here are a few sheet metal tasks Ive been fiddling with: Things usually look better grouped in odd numbers, and 35s have four hood side trim...
Here are a few pics of the clutch linkage pivot that I made to get my pedal assembly to work with the particular clutch components that I've got....
Thanks. The idea is to regain some of the rigidity lost when I swapped the original torque tube set up for an open drive.
That was my goal, but I've got a feeling I'm gonna just miss the deadline.
Ran all the brake lines, fabbed some headers, and started running the exhaust. Oh, and that left side exhaust pic is deceptive. The center tube...
Thanks. Cut, weld, repaint. I can't take credit for the idea. I've seen it done more than once before, so I'm assuming that a: it doesn't get...
BTW: I'm actually a lot further along than this. I'm just getting around to putting this thread together between coats of paint.
Here's the whole front mounting and stabilizing system for the banjo:
After getting the engine/trans in place, it was time to hook everything up to the rear end. Obviously, using the T-5 meant I had to convert to...
As I recall, It worked out to 3.5" in the rear and around 3.75" in the front.
First up, obviously, is getting the drivetrain situated in the frame. I'm using a 59A flattie, hooked up to a t-5 ( one of my few concessions to...
Parts gathered for the approaching storm of activity:
Here's where it was a few months ago. Body on jack stands and a frame outside leaning against my shop.
Since then, the project has been relegated to the When I get a free minute pile, with me working on it very sporadically. I hadnt planned on...
