And it begins... my '28 coupe progress thread

Cant wait to see it in austin .

 

I love this one

 

Stroked,
Awesome. Simply awesome.

 

lookin good! i really like your wheel and tire combo

 

Okay enough with the artsy stuff 10 days till the roundup, lets see the brake lines, gas lines, etc. You have had a week MYK

Rusty

 

been busy with all the little stuff. i got the steering squared away tonight and the body mounts done. i'll be pulling the body tomorrow to start plumbing and wiring.

 

nice

 

it's alive!!!

 

Lets see some footage

 

Just gone through your build. Looking great. I hope you make it. I've stopped setting deadlines for myself.

I have an almost O/T question. I noticed in your pile of parts at the start, your steering arms. I've seen that kind on a couple of cars. What brand are they and who stocks them?

All the best for Austin

Pete

 

i should have some later tonight.

 

Where is your shop located now?

 

You should re-mount that trans, looks dangerous. Should weld a cradle on the frame and have a straight bar go under the trans and sit in the cradles in the frame and then use bolts to locate the bar and trans. You should NEVER mount a trans with shearing force on some bolts.. read a chassis building book, lots of pointers you could pick up.

 

Yeah, it's long gone. No pics of the new stuff yet though.

 

looking good

 

i just moved a few doors down but its bigger than the last one.

 

we got video of it running earlier but my buddy didn't get around to uploading it yet.

i was gonna take it around the block but the tranny is wasted. i'll build it tomorrow and throw it back in and should be doing burnouts late tomorrow.

 

S W E E T ! ! ! Cant wait !

 

awesome

Rusty

 

Myk... I love you.

 

the windshield turned out real nice. after getting the tranny squared away i ran into some issues on the rear brakes.

 

That You Tube is inspiring. That's got to be a good feeling.

Still intertested in those steering arms

 

The front steering arms are Pete & Jakes (Superbell) pieces. I got them from 'Vaphead' here on the HAMB.

Sounds excellent, first video I played on my 'new' software. I can actually see AND hear it. Very cool, what cam do you have in there (I apologize if you already listed it and I missed it, or forgot, what was I saying)?
