Baron, Super nice build. I really like the kickup for the rear axle but the whole thing is top notch. Cliff Ramsdell
Rails are looking pretty good in the Spies Hecker spray polyester. Couple small spots need a little more attention.
I've had this old firewall kicking around for a long time (almost 20 years). Other than being badly pitted, it wasn't too bad. I must have 40 hours between making space for valve cover and bell-housing clearance ,making a dimple for the distributor along with welding up a few holes and filling the pits and smoothing the whole thing out. Tomorrow I'll go over this one more time, filling a few more pits on the mounting feet before one or two more coats of primer. Going to look great in Ford Wimbledon White.
Got the 34 and 36 wishbones in epoxy primer today along with the front axle and a few other small pieces to the puzzle.
The chassis was painted this past week. Thanks to Mike Noonan for doing some beautiful paint work. Came out great.
Finished up the firewall today and painted it Wimbledon white. One more piece to the puzzle finished.
Making progress now that the cold weather has arrived and the other cars are put away for the season.
Installed the 327 and 4 spd today, and ran the line from the clutch master cylinder to the slave cylinder.
Bolted the exhaust system on today. 2 1/2" pipes with Porter steel pack mufflers should let the blower motor breath and should sound decent.
Thanks. The whole car will be painted the same. It's Aubergine . Looks purple inside the shop and more maroon outside in the sun. Took me two years to decide on a color....lol
Finished the front brakes Saturday. Brakes and clutch have been bled and are done and ready to go. Next on to install the fuel pump, radiator and hoses and get the motor ready to run. Plan is to run it long enough to break the cam in,hopefully before Christmas.
Roadster is looking really good, that blown chevy will be a lot of fun in it. You always build the coolest stuff
The drilled backing plates look great & I like the color choice. Very nice work; looking forward to seeing your progress. Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
Your doing a beautiful job and thank you for sharing! looking forward to future progress. Happy Thanksgiving!
