Projects New project..revised 5/14/18

Slow, steady FUN!

 

Well, I have been busy. Finished mocking up (I think) and started painting last weekend. Here's a pic I took this morning. I should start building the engine mon/tue, get it together, painted and in the frame in a week or so. Need to get a gennie/lokar shifter, a wiring harness and be ready to put the body back on the frame and get 'er done. Getting excited. Clarification/edit...last p[ic was taken this morning.

 

Damn Tim. Already looks fantastic. You do great work. Short time, too. Gotta' love it.

 

Thanks jamie, but it has taken a while to get here. I have taken my time so I have enjoyed it more than some projects.

 

Nice project, nice car to start with. Excellent choice on the wheels and tires.

 

Really looking good Tim,glad to see you making progress. HRP

 

Brief update. I have the chassis completely ready for the body, managed to get some guys come help me stick the body on (couple of weeks ago) and I'm starting to wire it up. I have cranked the engine, fired right up, trans and brakes work also. LOTS of little nit picky things done and a few more to go. Won't be too long. Forgot I did an update but did it in a new thread so this should get everyone caught up.

 

I keep forgetting to use this thread for updates. Three times now I have posted new thread without thinking about this thread, so here's the most current pic I have. Tim. Also a pic Saturday with my grandson and his girl posing for senior pics. Prom night!!

 

Damn Tim thats lookin nice!!!!!!!

 

Just ran across this thread I started on the sedan. Not a lot to report on the car other than putting a few thousand miles on it. I did have the front seats covered and I'm always playing with little things on the car. Did shorten up the rear bumper braces and pulled the bumper in @ 3-4 inches. Here's a couple of pics.

 

It looks like you replaced the tank after all. Where is it from and why the surgery?
