Hot Rods Big Daddy's 55 2 door wagon gasser

Picking up a set of 56 skirts
Looking for drop spindles, zero or close to zero offset discs
A better rear gate
Passenger side front upper trim-4 door.
I’ve got 3 nice 57 factory AC vents. Would trade for 55/56 ones
Still haven’t got a sedan front seat frame

 

Just got back. Over 5k cars there.

 

Ah! I see! Sounds like fun.

 

Just fitted, not gonna weld them in until I sit the motor and trans in, that way I can weld the crossmember brackets in from the top lol

 

Man, that is definitely a nice way to do the floor. I know it isn’t cheap, but sure saves tons of labor and time.

 

$700, had free shipping. Sherman I believe, the rocker kit was almost that much, it came from golden star. The floor braces came from golden star also. I need the rear floor, but I'm thinking flat 16 or 18 gauge from metal depot. I don't need a spare tire well.

 

Nice

 

That’s not as bad as I expected.

 

May have seen the link here, or thumbing through YouTube, but a guy used a ball peen hammer and laid the sheet metal on a grooved piece of would.
Came out nicely nice.
Assuming you don’t have a bead roller (I don’t).

 

I'm not that fancy Mike lol... it'll have carpet over it

 

Where were you when I did my 56 with the floor from a donor car? Oh, I know, you was that person that called the police on me because of all the noise I was making in the apartments with an air chisel circa late 80’s.

 

Lmao! My air chisel bit the dust last night... I've had that thing for 35 years. I had to finish cleaning up the floor supports the old fashioned way.

 

Looking really good nice to have a solid foundation. I’m sure you have used these saves a ton of time.

 

I don't like them . I've used them though. This wagon is being wet blasted. Waiting on the mobile sandblasting company to come do it.

 

Dude, you are rolling through that job!
I'm halfway there on mine.

 

Lloyd, is the '55 a wagon or a sedan delivery? HRP

 

It's a wagon. Like my 57 was. Where in the world have you been Danny???

 

Your toe boards look so nice compared to mine I've gotta make the section where the meet the floor board.

 

Steve, what are you working on?

 

I have been in the hospital again, I'm home now. HRP

 

Danny, hope you continue an upward trend.

 

@Truckdoctor Andy a '55 hardtop. Slowly.

 

Like was for you being home.

 

lol. It’s just to support it, not sag, oil can, etc.

But I get ya. lol.

 

Not to derail Lloyds awesome thread, but we are sorry Danny was in the hospital, but are happy he’s home!

 

That ought'ta stiffen'er up pretty good!

 

And what do we really have?

 

Hey, that's what I have in my Henry J with a full spool and fat sticky tires, it's very street friendly especially in tight parking lots LOL

 

Mine is a 2 door handyman. But the windows have been removed and filled, same way my 57 was. It has the clam shell tailgate setup.

 

Crap man, I'm sorry to hear that. Hope you're doing good, great to hear from you.
