Looks really good. Enjoy Deuce Days.
Bill, The gizmo is the pump for the quick jack I use to raise the cars. It’s kind of a mini lift. The flaring tool is available anytime.
I got the body back from the blaster and discovered lots of previously hidden opportunities. [ATTACH] There were numerous areas that had been...
Looks great. I can relate to "if I knew then, what I know now, I'm not sure I would have started this build".
I have been working on installing the front and rear suspension and routing the brake lines. Because I would be doing a lot of flaring, I decided...
I admire your attention to detail Tim.
This morning I loaded the body on a trailer and took it to the blaster. They estimate 3 to 4 weeks. Looks like I better get to work drilling and...

Hard to believe that I haven’t posted anything since May. The summer was filled with 10,000 miles of road trips including 4,000 with the canam...
Someone was interested in the frame.So I took off the front brakes, the front and rear shocks and shock mounts and gave him the frame.
I was just trying to understand Fat47's comment. The front suspension is an insignificant part of the whole project. I don't to be exiled to an...
It's been almost a month since I posted my frame for sale. I haven't seen any interest. I just don't have room for two frames and a body in my...
About one month ago I offered this frame with wildwood brakes for sale for $700. I have not seen any interest. I just don't have room for two...
What is post 20? does this mean that I can show a picture of my front end?
Since I received the frame, I've spent a lot of time fitting parts before I start to paint. Tried paint the shock mounts with POR-15. I wasn't...
Original unboxed frame with parallel leaf rear springs and ride tech shocks. It has a straight front axle and split wishbones. The front brakes...
I have decided to see if anyone is interested in my old frame. It is the original unboxed frame with parallel leaf rear springs and ride tech...
Well, I want to thank all who have provided encouragement and suggestions. I have really appreciated your comments. As I understand Moriarity's...
I thought this was the HAMB and that independent front suspensions were allowed on the HAMB.
I finally got all most everything off the body. I jacked up the body and separated it from the frame. I then built some wood supports and placed...
I found a hinge removal tool from Bob Drake. It worked great on all but one hinge. That hinge broke the tool. I tried drilling out the pin with a...
My latest challenge is removing the door hinges. Each door hinge is held on with three 5/16 flat blade screws. The front hinges have nuts holding...
To get ready to remove the body, I welded in some bracing to help keep the it straight when I remove it. The body seems pretty stiff now. However,...
While removing the windows I broke the rear window behind the left door. I took it to Street Rod Glass to get it replaced. When I went to pick it...
Crusty Chevy, I agree that the methods you pointed out are the best way to go. However, although it doesn’t look like it in the photo, the rods...
In my last post I said there wouldn’t be anything interesting about disassembling the car. However, on Christmas day, my grandson ( who turned 6...
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. So I will try to catch up. I have stripped and painted two fenders so far. Once stripped, I...
I will try the razor blade. The sand blaster idea didn't work. My friend either gave away or threw away his old blaster. I tried a cheap one from...
This looks great. I am just getting started on my 35 humpback sedan. It looks like everything you are doing will apply to my build. I hope you...
