Projects My new project

Well after along search I have determined that what i have here is a 33 truck. Its a roadster now suicide front end, 57 chevy dash, 1940 front brakes,split bones. well enough about it heres some pics hopefully i can have it ready for summer.

 

i dig that dash!!!!

 

Great start man! Keep us up to date with the pics!

 

Thankx guys hopefully next week i can get the wheels powder coated and tires mounted up

 

You know you can get some cool billet stuff for that dash.

I am totally kidding! I love that way you flowed that dash into the cowl-dude that's factory lookin'! Makes one wonder why this hasn't been done alot.

More pics!

Thankx but i bought it that way but that was one of the things that grabbed me when i went to look at it the guy that did do it did a great job for sure. As soon as i get the new door hinges in the mail i will be posting more pics then. Thankx Again Mike

 

Very cool. Just a friendly tip when you post pics hit the enter*****on between each picture so they run vertically rather than horizontally. It make them way easier to view.

 

Got the hinges in the mail today hopefully be able to figure them out and get them in with pics by monday. O and k13 i will remember to space the next ones.lol

 

Dig it, looks good. And ditto on the dash.

 

Looking forward to more pictures.like the dash and the engine mounts

 

Thankx guys Ok I got a question for all of you. SUICIDE the doors or standard?

I got some hidden hinges from Rockey Hinges and i must say they are very well built. Great product

 

i say suicide them! ditto on the dash, really diggin it!

 

Love the truck suicide the doors

 

Damn you... I thought I had him traded out of that thing until you came into the picture! Just kidding. Great project, and looks like it ended up in good hands. Good luck with it, and keep us posted on the progress.

Well its been awhile but heres what i got done today. Some tubing for the floor.









Body only sitting about 3 inches off ground

 

Well after a long thought i figured I better raise the body up a little so heres the update





After I get it all set the body will be 4.5 inches off the ground

 

Looks good, Mike.......it would be cool if you could get an intake system from*****ster.

 

Ya I was hoping to get one from him but getting laid off kinda but a stick in that idea. O well maybe in the summer when and if I ever get back to work then i can get the intake of my dreams
