Ditto. Just think of us as your ***istants, ...you know, the kind you'd send for a left handed hammer.
damn right. Actaully, I have a grab on a set of 312 heads as well. SO most likely she will be getting a bigger bumpstick, reworked heads, and some compression to go with the tricarb set-up.
doin some more today. I am ditching the ugly *** nose for sure. Not lookin how had it in mind. You live, you learn. I want it clean so it has to go. Hopefully adding some merc trim and a few pix in the day light of progress.
The next few are from our photographer friend this time without the guy in the pic... It is just hard to believe she has come so far so quick....
If you don't know somebody, there is no way in hell they should have their mitts on your ride. Some douchebag with a Ferrari kept planting his *** on my fender at a show earlier this summer- after I had to ASK nicely for him to knock it off 2 times before. I almost had a freaking coronary-def con 4! What makes people think that this is ok?!?!
so I LOVE THIS ****ING CAR I have the biggest soft spot for 54s already and so far (minus the trunk nose, haha) you have nailed everything. I cant wait to see more. How did you lower your front
stock front end. It rides on bags. The decklid is getting replaced. I have grown to hate it as much as everyone else has as well.
This car is bad*** man. Cant beleive I missed this thread,my buddy is building a 53 so I too have a soft spot for these cars. Great job! subscribed to the thread cant wait to show my friend.
Got some more done today. I have been trieing real hard to get to the gl*** so I figured I would get stared. I wanted all 4 windows to roll ALL the way don instead of half mast on the rear gl***. So, I had to take a looky lou at a few hard tops to get an idea of what to do. Here is what I came up with. pivot on the gl*** had to lenghten the runner the regulator before after more to come later tonight or tomorrow. sorry bout the ****ty lighting in the pix. Hopefully it turns out OK
thank you! I was very pleased the idea even worked. I will be posting more tomorrow. Once the gl*** gets in from being made, I will post pix of it in gl*** with a little vid so you can get the full effect.
hopefully moe comin soon. Can't get my vid of the regulator in action visible enough, so sorry bout that. But makin a bit of progress here and there.
You have alot of motivation!! i love this build, colors arent really my thing, but the car is awesome, keep it up!!!
On a side note, the tri-power is working awesome now. No more smoke cloud when he gets on it, (he p***ed me like I was standing still on the freeway coming back from a show this weekend) and it even idles smoothly. The plugs still look a little dark with soot on them but not bad. I think Shannon might be getting a little heavy on his right foot now that all the carbs are synched as running out of gas seems to be a regular thing for him.
