well if you ever find your self in Nor Cal, hit me up

dB Zac,

The photo's are very cool. It's cool to see someone take on such a big project, take there time and do some great work. I took a '41 Ford convertible from basket case to a Top 100 in R&C, so I know what your going through. Can't wait to see the finished ride.

CRUISER

 

well i stabbed the power plant in and primered the top half. i did som more finish work on the suspention. i'll try to post pic's as soon as my computer is fixed

 

This thing is going to be wicked cool ! , (any more progress ?).

 

I think I know what choppeimpala is asking. The sedan delivery takes the same windshield as a sedan car and the factory impala is 2-2 1/2" shorter from the factory. Is this correct what I am saying?There is a guy here in houston did basically the same thing with a 59 el camino and used the hardtop doors also. It looks really good. You are doing a great job. Takse alot of cods to take a project like this on.

 

man that thing needs a full sliding rag top!!!

 

ya the stock windsheild is the same as a post sedan.

 

great looking metal work....that going to be a sweet ride...good luck ..rooster

 

sorry it took so long to post an update but I havent had a working computer LOL. heres some new pics


heres the small power plant

 

than came the pipes

 

here is my rear set up

 

this is the wheel I got for it





this is the latest pic of it

 

great fab work. I freaking love this project.

That is one beefy watts linkage.

Why don't more people use those?

 

wow, lots of good pics.
never seen a rear end slammed/fabbed like that.
stance is perfect, keep up the good work.

 

ya, watts links seem tailor made for air bagged rides

 

Can you explain the rear end, I've never seen that set up before,what are the benefits, Yes I'm fairly new to this game.

 

What happenned to all the original pics?

 

the cool thing about a watts link is, the rear end doesn't shift from side to side as it goes up and down in the usable range.
as the rear end moves up and down the too bars pull and push the center link equally.

 

i donno, they are still working at the host

 

well since the old pics don't work, heres a quick look back at the build so far

 

and then

 

and then








no more "and then"
