51 Chevy coupe-Sled to Gasser

looks good

 

the work looks great, but sorry i just dont get the gasser thing.

 

Looks cool. Are you going to radius the real wheel well arches?...please...

 

Nice work! Can't wait to see it with the front clip on it.

Later,

Mike

 

So the front leaf spring mounts turned out cool also. They kinda had to be stepped out to the sides a little because of the way the frame curves inward

With the springs mounted front and rear we set the kingpin angle, welded the axle to the perches, set the clip back on and rolled it out of the garage to take a look and some pics. I cant wait to drive this thing

 

Nope. I like em both ways, but I like uncut better. More of a street freak than a gasser I guess.

 

Looks great!

 

Cool project.

 

wow this looks really good

 

Some more pics. Dave just called me and has been up this morning and got the headers on and now all there is to be able to drive it is figure out the steering


Daves 41 and the 51




More pics later

 

That car is so Tall. Is it just for looks or what.

TO each their own I guess but that was a really cool car and now it just looks hodge podge to me. did i mention that it is really tall looking. I think some radiused wheel arches and squat the ass end down about 6 inches as well as the front and you might have a "Tough" look going.

In my opinion it just looks goofy. Sorry for the Negative nancy but just sayin!

 

I'm linking this an awful lot, looks like nice progress and nice focus.....maybe one day for me...my family needs one of these for family cruisin'.

 

Sweet!! It looks nice and aggressive. I like it.

 

Awesome! Looks a hell of a lot meaner than the taildragger it used to be.

 

I'm digging it both ways. Damn cool!

 

Looks killer so far. I like the white top with the black primer.

 

Thanks to all who "get it"

 

Chris....I get it! Great move....Now it looks different than a thousand other tail draggers just like it. Here are a few bits of inspiration. Can't wait to see it finished...Centurion9

 

Oh, I get it too, and it loos bad ass!!

 

Lookin' good! You guys don't mess around! I like the fact that you gave it a new life. One question; Are you going to put fenderwell headers on it eventually? Those front fenderwells look awful empty.

 

I get it!!!!!!! and i like it. you did the right thing and it sits just right, Hang that clutch pedal back in it. cause they are alot more fun to drive around and scare this shit out of the treehuggers. And yes on the fenderwell headers (white)

 

I like it! Are you planning on putting some kind of spreader bar across the front? It will strengthen the front end...

 

Looking good

 

What is your braking system? I can see front disc rear drum but size? Master Cylinder and proportioning valve?

 

i like it it has a mean look to it!

 

thats really coming along nice!! keep it up

 

Looks like your having a great time ! May I suggest a couple of small things ....
It appears you need to centre the rear wheels in the arches ...
And Dave needs to fab you some new engine mounts ....
I think If you drop that hot motor in on the lego motors mounts it will land on the deck first time you stand on it !

Have fun and keep at it ...

 

looks good man...keep rollin and postin

 

Bitchin car.
