51 Shoebox - Mild Custom Build

no make sure they are ceramic micospheres not just glass ones.

 

Looking good!

 

Cool - The insulation looks good.

 

The long awaited chop starts tomorrow! I can't sleep I'm so excited.

Stay tuned for updates.

 

The old girl going in for surgery today. Hopefully Kenny (choprods) will take good care of her.

 

Cool shoebox.. Love those bikes!!

 

Here are some progress pics of the chop job. I really like the way its coming along. I don't like the severe slopes and the bulge above the rear window. I think moving the rear window forward will help this alot.

 

Looking good. Will you be hopping up that flathead six?

 

You know of any for sell? Gregevans@me.com

 

Oh ya....I forgot to mention that. I have my flat 8 rebuilt and just about ready to go. As soon as the chop gets finished up I plan on swapping the 8 in. I got offy heads and and 3 dueces. I will try to get some pictures of my motor up in the next day or two.

 

Well its not a mild custom anymore!

Looking good

 

Shoeboxes or flathead sixes? I will make you a hell of a deal on this flat 6. Purrs like a kitten too.

 

Keep plugging along on that "mild kustom". It's looking good.

 

Thanks for the info, are you around Highland IL that you went to wicks?

 

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I guess I might have to change the title, this car is snowballing a little out of the mild category.

I order online from Wicks. I was down in Highland doing some generator work earlier this year though. Great customer service.

 

Cool thats in my neck of the woods. I bought some DOM tubing from them for my chopper frame a few years ago.

 

Looks Great!!

 

That chop looks like it'll turn out just about perfect. Gonna be a nice shoebox.

 

A little update. The pillars are starting to come along nicely.

 

Looks great! Did Kenny tell you how long he expects it to take, start to finish?

 

2 weeks! He's an animal.

 

Sweet! That's got me thinking about chopping my Moredoor again... The only problem is getting it to him. It's a long way from Idaho to Missouri!

 

Here are a few more chop pictures. It's starting to come together nicely.

 

SWEET, looks like we've got similar taste!

 

Doing a great job and moving at a fast pace... Keep the pix coming man..

Looks awsome

 

Your car looks great. I really like the lines of your chop.

 

Smurf I thought we talked about this - you are going to use the '51 dash! Ha - either way this should be a pretty clean little car when you are done.

Anyone who is interested in that straight six, I can attest to the fact that it is a runner. No B.S. - one bump of the starter and she's up and running; unlike mine....sadly.

Keep the updates rolling - can't wait to see her back in the garage; we will have to christen the new chop with beer and 2x4 jenga!!

 

Finish welding started.......
