As many of you know Im on my yet onto another project. the frame is done 23T frame with 15in kickups and suicide mount. Ive got the front end ***embled as of last night, motor ready to install pretty much(minus headers, carb and some little ****)gas tank and straps, rear radius rods(welded and painted as of last night) all the hymes, clevis's, and weld on plates, motor mounts done as well....Im waiting til I have everything to make it roll...So I gotta get front spindles, brakes and a rear end and itll be ready to "roll".......O and I still need some sort of body...23T sure, 27T bucket only YEA!!! or some od ball at the next swap meet!!
Sounds like a MEAN Green Bean....when ya gonna SHOW it to us??? You NEED an oddball body for that heap...sumthin' like HotRodDrummer's old old Buick Bucket...I'd look around for ya up here, but you don't want any Gay Michigan All Natural Patina'd body...when you can have a Florida Virgin! Groovy, man...dig it!!
Id post picks but hell weve all seen picks of a frame with a bunch of parts piled up around it... but mine are all painted this crazy green!!!!!
Without pictures, it doesn't exist. Mike, we like all pictures, even pictures of just frames and parts. I like the name.
That ain't the "green bean". You done sold the original bean. Your going to have to think of a different name. If you went to Webster you could find a body there but you better get there early as me and DV8 are on a buying spree. I'll keep an eye open for ya. What you want 'gl*** or rust.
Well I just found a deal on a rearend. Im gonna run a 57 chevy p***enger car rear..all set and ready to run!....So spindles and frt brakes and Ill build the roller...Im worried now about having it on the raod by Feb due to our unexpected move coming up? Owe well Im kinda young
Mike, I was gonna offer up a '47??? open-drive banjo rear but it seems you're already covered. The SBC would probably kill it anyway. Ed
i have the ORIGINAL "Bean" and i allready cut it in HALF! gonna cut the cowl all apart, do some repairs and ship off to my boy JEEM in Azrizonia piece by piece MUUUUHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
well I now have a 23T body for the project and will be picking up the seat insert this weekend!! yea its fibergl*** but sheet man... its mine and wasnt apart of the 60's traditional and wasnt that the first production of fibergl*** bodies........Oh yae and I dont really care if you dont like it in advance!
Its gonna look good - did you get that at Turkey this weekend? One other question did you guys sell those WWW tires that were leaning against the table?
the tires are mine and no they didnt sell. they are in my truck rotting away!!! make me an offer!! yes I got the body at the TRR!!...
the shipping on this "bucket" was sweet! A good friend who leaches onto his girlfriend and her house live about 10 house's down from me.....and they had an explore! I got home sunday morningand it was under the carport!!
Well I just paced my speedway order for my front spindles and brake set up.....El C has my winshield in the mail sooo!! as soon as this F-ing move is over Im gonna be able to see what Ive gotten myself into!!
Hey Draglinks Use spellcheck would ya. Damit if the Florida public School system didn't screw up the english language. And it is only 1 step short of the California PSS. Get that ***** sewn together and get us some pics!!!!
socal wench!! as said many times before eat my ***!! why concern yourself with the spellings of another whn you get the point! Im not being graded and I know this is no test! ...............ps you west coasters need to get a life! Im sure they hand those out as well along with KOOL points at the DMV
Ok Glad too see you back in the land of the educated where are the f#@&ing pics. Or are you still trying to find a dictionary
Why are you buying spindles from Speedway? Webster is this Sunday or just look in the paper. I just got a '40 frame with suspension for $150. Yet another reason I love Tampa. hahaha
because I dont want old ****ty Ive been in the dirt for half my life spindles???? Also I got the seat insert Sunday at the swap and hauled it home strapped to the wifes Car! I even started setting up my new work space at the new shop!! the Tampa boys will cry now for sure..waaaaaaaaaaa you have tools, waaaaaaa you have a new bigger, nicer, cleaner shop waaaaaaaaaa thats why we never get our cars on the road because we spend all our time worring about what you guys have and what we dont hahahahaahaah losers!!! except a few(you know who you are)
spindles, brake set up, bearings and such are now in!!......its time to start rolling!!! oh yea Ive also dumped the 57 holy rear end for a 69 Camaro rear I scored next door for 10 bucks!!
[ QUOTE ] oh yea Ive also dumped the 57 holy rear end for a 69 Camaro rear I scored next door for 10 bucks!! [/ QUOTE ] Great...another Fla. Mulletmobile. Just kidding! Can ya get some pics going? Would make for a cool tech.... "Building a roller". Show pinion angles, rear end locating, front axle caster angle and stuff like that. Seems I see a lot of questions for that stuff...usually followed up with a link to the Inland Empire Driveline site.
Ive had it!!!!!!! I set the body on. started to mount the front axle and I had the U bolts made to long..So I got new ones and then started again....this 40 axle and ****ed up spring would have mad the green bean look like a g***er. So I said **** it and merry x m*** to me..I just ordered a 4in dropped I beam axle and posi reverse eyed spring from speedway!! its gonna sit in the dirt if I have anything to do with it! thats the progress Ive made while Im "moving the shop" Oh and fibergl*** bodies **** to I itch all over and my cream wont fix this itch
You itch ALL OVER??? Whaddaya been DOIN' to that poor body??? (You ain't been posin for nekkid photos with it, have you?) Hope the ****** is mobile soon, Bro!
