Belly tank access panel

I recently completed one more project on my list of things to finish on my belly tank. I thought some of you might be interested to see what I was doing so here it is. To see the whole build up to this point, go to; http://www.mccainautomotive.com

I think you need more "C" clamps. Nice work.

 

That thing is Awesome!

 

That thing is pretty awesome!!!! Doe the glass not close of completely? Will that cause any issues with turbulence inside the cockpit.

 

Some great projects but you unchop 32's - wierdo

So you arent going to run this on the salt? Awesome looking work.

 

The canopy bubble was not designed to fit the headrest exactly. This will add ventilation. and will hopefully not cause any problems at speed. As for un-choping the `32, When my brother bought it it had been chopped too much. It was only raised enough to make it drivable, but that brought everything back to the proper proportions for what he was trying to achieve. The windshield and back glass looked like a mail slot, and at six feet tall, there wasn`t enough headroom.

 

Cool, I actually like that it does not fit perfectly because it looks like something that a guy would have picked from a surplus yard and fitted to his already runny lakester to see if he could get a few more MPH out of it. I guess I am trying to say that it's pretty authentic looking for perhaps circa 1957.

 

Thanks, that`s the look I wanted when I started this car.

 

sweeeeeet. looks like tons of fun. if you make it up to mayberry sometime drop by the museum and introduce yourself!

 

Wow that corvette build looks amazing.

 

Hyper-cool !!! Doesn't look like that trunk under the panel will hold much, though. I certainly hope you don't expect to fit a spare tire in there !
