What front brake kit is that?

 

Thanks guys. Brakes are a Speedway kit. 37-48.

 

That chop looks great!Nice work.You must have a good teacher.David Perry's book,HOT ROD Pin-ups,has a similar Chevy in it.If you haven't seen it,check it out.Wish I had a scanner!

 

I agree with the others........lookign real good.

 

I just love taking an old part and bringing it back to life. Nothing you can't do with a little elbo grease.

 

The project looks very good. And the chop is just right. Not too much, not too litte. Keep us updated.

 

Chop is perfect! Take your time and dont get burned out on it keep pluggin away at it!

 

pretty cool project will be watching for updates

 

Some frame work done this weekend. 6" kickup in the front.

 

It'll be a beauty when she's done. Good luck.

 

furture along. Next is the rear end.

 

Looking very nice.

Finished the back end today. Mocked up the air bags. Tomorrow channel the cab.

 

Channeled the Cab a couple inches. Frame lays on the floor. Air bags will lift it up 8" plus. Shes getting there. Diamond in the rough.

Bobbed 18" off the bed. Mocking it up for brackets. Want to get the right propotion between front and back tires.

 

Looking good! I hope you are going to paint it!

 

Oh yeah this truck is going to be nice inside and out. Not a ruct bucket.

 

Sweet keep us posted!

 

Nice chop. You will appreciate having that full size rear window too! It's coming along great.

 

Got the motor under way. Installed the pistons yesterday. Seemed to have misplaced my woodruff key for the Crank. Anyone know where I can pick one of these up? It's a 1953 322 Nailhead out of a RoadMaster.

 

Heads are on and shes coming along. Hopefully get my welder this week and start on the suspension.

 

Looking good man!
