Hello everyone! Very nice forum you have here! I first was introduced to the site after being directed to it to look at a rearend housing straightener a member had built and was nice enough to share with everyone! I'm a retired field Boilermaker and have worked on boilers,hydro electric dams,nuclear containment vessels,water towers,shipbuilding and windmill tower sections etc! As a hobby,I have made iron beds(kind you sleep on),woodburning stoves,engine hoists,stands etc. A friend of a friend helped me build a blacksmith forge which I plan on using soon! I do powdercoating on a small scale but I'm working on building (extending) a gas curing oven I bought 6 yrs ago and never hooked-up and also buying an electric oven about 4'x4'x6' so I can cure bigger parts! Oh,I have owned an autobody shop since 1986 and have worked on a 'real Ford GT40',AC Cobra once driven by Parnelli Jones,and currently a whole bunch of Tesla electric cars sent to our shop for colission work! I have a 1970 Dart on a rotisserie that's been neglected for a couple years and my favorite car is my old 1962 supercharged Corvette I sold to my uncle in 1987 but still get to drive quite often! Sold the 8-71 blown Camaro to my brother in 1977!
Stude has an Art Morrison frame with tubular a-arms and 4-link rear suspension.It will be powered by a bigblock Chev,Turbo 400,and a Ford 9 inch with aluminum third member 3:91 gears. Wilwood discs all the way around,12 point roll cage and aluminum interior! The nose is fibergl*** and the trunk lid also. Engine and dash were set back 8-10 inches. Hard to get parts for an old car!
nice meeting you also! You're going to have one very nice ride! Glad the frontend could be put to good use! hope you don't mind me posting a picture here! CGkidds 1950 Bulletnose Stude with a gl*** nose!
Another picture of Eric with his newly found Bulletnose fibergl*** frontend! First nose my buddy built has been sitting around for years, glad to find someone 20 minutes away who could use it!
