Hot Rods My first 30 model Ford build

I'm going to try like hell I believe I can make it

 

Looks like you made your caster adjustment! Looking good man. Keep on it.

 

Are you bending steel with your bare hands ? That's bad ass.

 

Here is one of the back of the body being straighten up

 

Looks like I will be working on brakes and brake lines this weekend after I hit the Northeast Georgia swap meet Saturday morning

 

Lookin' good, Brad! See ya Saturday.

 

Right on I think I'm going to drive my monster suburban

 

So last nite I got this


Inside this


And bolted to this



Ford 9 inch nodular that should hold up

 

What gear ratio?

 

How about some big ass slicks?

 

Dog patch it's a 2:91

 

Hopefully that 291 will compliment that Saginaw first gear. I think has Russ has a low 320 something. That big block won't be phased!

"The most common Saginaw four speed is the wide ratio variety equipped with a 2.85 first gear, 2.02 second gear, 1.35 third gear, and a 1:1 fourth. However, 1973-77 Chevy Vegas used a Saginaw tranny with a 3.11 first gear, 2.20 second gear, 1.47 third gear, and the usual 1:1 fourth. Don't be intimidated by the fact that the trans came out of a Vega...it's still the same design as those used behind the V8 engines, with lower ratios to help the 140 cube motors get the cars rolling! Alot of guys robbed Vega trannys in the 70s and 80s to gain the better ratios!"

 

It's great to see your mor-dor come together. Nothing like watching an A take shape!
Work out space for as much fuel as your tank will carry.
W/17 gallons I could coax distance out my SBC. Looking good!

 

Here is a pic from Sunday

 

Here are some more

 

Here are some of the doors that Carl did for me

 

Carl looks like a chic with that pony tail.

 

Here is one of the body

 

Lookin' awesome man! Hard to see all of it on my phone. Thanks for posting it up on here. Keep at it!

 

Looks like a lot of progress but what's with the odd wheels on the back,I know you have steelies to match the front? HRP

 

I changed the to a ford 9 inch with a nodular chunk bolt pattern is 5 on 5.5' steelies are small ford 5 on 4.5

 

Brad, I could use your old rims for my slicks. Are they up for sale?

 

How about some pics of those new custom brake lines Brad?

 

If you sell your Harley, you could probably get some magnesium! Any offers yet?

 

Good stuff.... looks mean with just the chassis.



-W

 

Let's see that picture of the side of the body in its current state - That was good looking - I can't find it though

 

Here you go Josh

 

I sent them to your house

 

That's a total stage coach. Love it.

 

Got the rest of the parts for the motor looks like I will get it together this weekend
