Rescued a 32 Chevy this week. My uncle passed it to me hoping I'll get it on the road some day. [ATTACH] It came with a new ( not rebuit) large...
He had the frame welded to the dolly. It is a Nutting railroad cart. They have been made into coffee tables.
It's going to be a few weeks before I get the 31 frame. I did score a NOS 327 shortblock with the car. It is a new large journal 327 truck engine....
I agree! I found a 31 chevy frame thst is a roller. I'm not sure if there are differences. The Jag suspension is in pieces and I haven't taken...
My uncle is being move to assisted living and he wanted me to have his 32 Chevy 5 passenger coupe. He started on it in the mid 70s, which explains...
It's for sale on FB Marketplace , located around Alcester S.D.. No price, they're looking for offers.
This is for sale locally. I thought the pictures were to cool not to share! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
That will make a neat car! It's amazing the hood ornament survived. They are pretty fragile.
These are close to Marion.
A few from today. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Through the years I've noticed people instantly assume carburetors are the problem. Usually if you have a stock carb that isn't flooding over I do...
I like the taps with a center hole on the back side.
What spark plugs are you running? Try a set of autolite #85, or 86 would be closer to stock. Gap them no more than .030.
That's how I normally do it. This time I plan on mounting the front of the ladder bars to cross member too. I think I have a plan.
That is a very good point. I thought about making the center drop out.
I made some progress on the trans cross member. I plan on using it for the front ladder bar mount as well. [ATTACH] The plate on the floor is...
The lathe is probably older than your uncle lol.
I got the slugs made for the ladder bars last night.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I have the Chassis engineering springs with a nova under my other sedan. I plan on using coil springs and home made ladder bars on this one.
What a cool car!! The front axle looks like its the same amount of drop as mine but the front axle is on top of the springs. I might change it yet.
I set the body on the frame. The back fenders will need some trimming and the inner wheel well will need some work as well. I test fit a 350 with...
That's the stance I'm after. Nice!!
Long day! I got it dug out and on the hoist. Maybe I'll get the body swapped tomorrow. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] This is a shot of the crude traction...
I started digging.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Nothing wrong with that! All of the cars mydad and I built got nova or camaro front clips. The 37-39 would need a nova narrowed 4 inches or a...
Thank you for the answers. I worked on over the road trucks for about 25 years and opened a good variety of hoods. Nothing as pretty as the one on...
It's a master 85 frame. They had a straight axle. I plan on trimming the rear fenders to fit the rear tires. I had a nova rear end with 15x7...
Bob do you have any more details on the flip front setup? I'm wondering if it was heavy to open, and how, or if, the fenders cleared the firewall.
