Appreciate it everyone, fivefochevy was that tailpan section very hard to replace? I've seen the section from ems and that is on my list of to do's
Eric, it was not too bad. keep the valance handy and have the decklid mounted. You will need those to tweak as all bodies are different. It came out really well though. You will have to drill your holes for the valance also. Gonna be keeping up with your build. Good luck, Kenny
Now thats traditional hotrodding right there. Wooden springs Old School Great job, I love those 53/54's MrC.
Don't know how I missed this one. Car looks great, keep up the hard work. I plan to do the same to mine in the near future.
Appreciate all the kind words, more updates real soon. Hot rod chris not sure on the wiper set up it's just the way it came when I got it.
Well little progress today. I got the 69 Camaro rear put in place and then decide since I had everything apart I might as well drop the frame and clean it up. Got the interior removed so I could get access to the bolts for the body
Next on the list was getting the body unbolted from the frame. This wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be except for the two inside the car. The one on the drivers side was all corroded and the passenger side one was just a bitch. Luckily the grinder came in handy to knock the heads of the bolts off and then I used my punch to send them through. Anyways, frame is off and now I will start cleaning the frame and putting the Gambino Notch in place.... My little helper for the day
thats cool. Was looking for wipers idea for my 54. Ps. Do u still have the stock and if so are you gona part it out? I need the nuts that hold in the a arms and kingpins
No man it is already gone, thanks for asking though TexasSpeed, that's too funny, but your right though,
nice start . please put better blocks under car. cinder blocks are not safe at all. need something solid.
The rendering looks like a great direction!!! I'll jump on the safety bandwagon here a little and say that between the cinderblocks and the safety sandals, I am a little concerned. (I certainly don't want to sound like a worry wart or a nuisance, but the concerns come from learning lessons the hard way.) I would hate to see the next post announce an injury, or damage to the car... Sorry for the down note. Back to the car...It's going to be VERY classy!!!
Yeah Sam hopefully soon... Thanks guys for the concern on the cinder blocks. I went out there and put some more supports under the car, definitely don't want anything to happen...,thanks
Eric looking good! You have the cinder blocks on the weak sides. You should always have the holes up and down!
Jeff, appreciate it didn't realize there was a weak side. I put some support jack stands under the car also for extra support..
Alright, here some updates...I started on the notch today Some mock up just to check things out welded the top part in, remember if your doing one of these this part has to be trimmed a little, at least mine did Ready to be welded to the frame
