I guess contrary to popular belief, you can indeed polish a turd. GOOD JOB Justin. I sold you the bodies in Scottsdale. It is AWSOME! Tim
Do you have any idea what you did?! You built a real hot rod, that's what! Killer.... Blasting around Carlsbad......good times in store

thanks guys, dubb the steering is just you regular old f1 box but instead of going through the frame i had to make a recess in the top of the frame because the starter is on the drivers side. cut off the factory flange on the steering box and made a new one, works great so far. steelman1934/ tim, it's still a turd just a really fast one, like after you eat mexican food.
It couldn't have come out any better. Really did a great job and I am sure you will get raves every where you go with it.
tinman go to the other pages in the thread there's a bunch of pictures. kids don't drive how i drive or this kinda shit will happen.... glad i don't slam the brake pedal as hard as i do the clutch. the pedal assembly had well over 30k miles on it in another car, it got an automatic and i bought the wilwood stuff within the first 200 miles i brake it
Holy shit.....the car came out nice but you didn't start with near the "turd" I did...Mine's an old race car...roundy round kind with hardly any usable sheeetmetal.still, it's goin together slowly..
rocky, is it getting a pontiac? i remember you having a 389 or 421 painted all white awhile back, don't remember if it ever went into anything. turd polisher cc est 1934 mitch, it was a clean brake on the pedal, looks like a pretty poor casting, very porous. kinda surprised me as wilwood seems like good stuff but these pedals do look kinda spindly compared to a size 13 boot. hopefully it was just a one in a thousand type deal but i'll be inspecting the brake pedal real well when i pull out the assembly to replace the clutch.
oh hell yeah! thanks for the ride but i think i blew up my speakers and ive drolled into the keyboard..........
Justin, Only just found this thread and I have to say that if they need a car to define the words Hot Rod in the dictionary, then need look no further than your truly STUNNING lookin' '34! Five Windows of any model are the nicest in my opinion and yours is right up there with the nicest. Nick.
