That's turning into a sweet ride. I wish I could build me ride that fast. Great update pics.

 

Finally got home to get a little more work done. Also got me some pedals and a steering box off ebay. Heres some pics

 

I've always loved chopped tops, but I will agree with you, that does look great. BTW: Love the name of your car club, thats hilarious.

 

Finally got a little work done. Dad has been doin some body work around the interior and I've been busy with school. Heres some updates...

very nice work so far, i look forward to seeing more progress.

 

ben, the work you've done so far looks terrific. it is great to see a chevy and a son and dad project. you will especially treasure it all in years to come. if you get a chance take a look at my 32 chevy in my profile. best of luck with your "project" and keep the pix coming!

 

Sorry guys havent updated any because I havent gotten anything done. Been really busy the past month or two with school and other things. I did recently graduate from Tennessee Technological University and am starting a job as a process engineer tomorrow at a place called Walker Die Casting. A couple of weekends ago when middle TN had all that flooding our garage got 17.5" in it so that made a big mess but we finally got everything cleaned up this past weekend. Hopefully I'll be able to get to work again here soon and I'll definitely keep y'all updated!

 

Old Chevys or old Fords, they both look fine to me, good job, keep it goin.....

 

great work. good luck with the new job.

 

Wow that's a lot of water hopefully it didn't get into any of the vent areas of the rear end housings. Or hurt any of your projects, or equipment.
Good luck on your new job, and the car building will fall in line...John

 

thanks man i'm tryin

preciate it i hope it goes well

yea it actually did get in the rearend but i have drained it and it also got in the tranny which i also drained. didn't hurt anything else we were actually at a car show in the other cars so they werent even there it jus moved a bunch of stuff around in the garage and made a mess. and at least now i'll have some steady income so i can buy a few little things i need

 

Hey Ben congrats on graduating man! that is a huge stepping stone. Good luck on the new job too, Walker Die Casting's looks like a cool place to work.

Sorry to hear about the flood, that blows.

 

i'm building a 34 chevy coupe after my ply coupe is done.

 

This is a bad ass thread... Digging the work Ben!

 

Thanks man hows that A model comin along? And yea I'm liking the job so far and the flood did suck but we got it cleaned up for the most part.

Nice 3W or 5W and what are your plans?

Preciate it man work has been slow to none here lately hopefully i'll get back on it soon

 

Finally got some parts bought and some work done. Nothin too special but dang anythings something. Hope everybodys had more time to tinker than I have. Heres the updates

master cylinders and slave cylinder, proportioning valve, residual valves


friction shocks off 39 zephyr


50 pontiac tail lights and moon gas pedal




trunk hinges and homemade trunk lid


comin together with chevrolet script in the middle to make it not so bland


trunk latch

Glad to see ya back at it. Good deal on landing a job right out of school also.

 

Wow! Sorry to say I just caught this thread for the first time but keep up the good work buddy! Peter

 

Ben.

You've inspired me (half way around the other side of the planet!). I'm heading out to the shed and firing up the grinder and welder (proof below). After seeing all this I'm totally inspired to finish (or at least go out and work on) my 27 Chev.

Love your work, attitude and car.

 

Great build thread Ben. It was great seeing you again at the Nats.
