Got the motor and tranny in plus installed the Gennie Shifter I got from Alex! This thing is starting to look like a car!!!!











Alliance Tag




Also painted radiator and core support




Carll can't wait to go cruisin'

 

Looks like a productive weekend, and a major step towards getting it on the road.

 

Nice!! Great feeling right??

 

Feels pretty good, doesn't it.

 

Hell yeah it feels good! I am trying to make Billetproof so I have a lot left still and not much time!

 

here's whats next!

 

Distributor is on the wrong side of the engine. Other then that looks like your headed in the right direction....

 

huh?

 

Sorry I'm not picking on you or the car. Great work. I just prefer a FORD engine. The sbf has the dist. in the front

 

why would you put a ford in a chevy..every one knows it goes the other way


lookin good

 

Awesome!!! I need this type of motivation as I just starting to work on my '54. Nice work!

 

Thanks alot JJ! The Hussy was one of the cars I really wanted to see at the Round Up but somehow I missed it. I would love to check out your '54.

 

Thanks man. It's probably because it was hiding in the far corner of the barn most of Saturday.

As far as my '54 goes, it's sort of my wife's/family car that I am going to try to get running by the time we have our first child. So I would say I have about a year or longer right now....

I have 365 Cad V8 out of a '56 Eldo, Original front suspension (hopefully picking up this weekend), '53 Olds Rear, '51 Chevy rear window and surround, First series Caddy Sombreros etc. Pretty straight forward and nothing ground breaking but clean and tasteful. Imagine if the Sam Barris Merc was in fact a '54 Chevy and that's where I am going with it.

Best of luck with build and keep us updated!!!

Oh and who care's what engine you put in there. As long as the fucker runs how you want and you can maintain it properly that's what matters. Customs never cared what was under the hood, just as long as it looked and sounded cool.

 

You do know that the car is a 54 Chevy, not a 54 Ford eh?

 

LOL, Yeah I know. bad joke gone awry. Usually it's a Chevy in a Ford so....The other way around would be unusual to say the least. Car looks great

 

ahh so you were yankin my chain eh?

 

LOL Sorry not yankin but more of a little tug

 

Dude, it's a chevy in a chevy...you gotta be a dumbass to throw that out there for that....

I mean really, you prefer a Ford engine? I couldn't tell 6t5frlane....

At least make a friggen point when you go spouting off....

dumbass (thats my point, that you are one)

Now instead of hijackin the thread....it's looking good....I miss mine a ton!

I'm callin BULLSHIT.

Your still a dumbass. you remind me of the dude in highschool that pulled a prank and no one thought it was funny....

 

hey,6t5frlane....Salty didnt get the memo

 

Settle down there trigger.

 

"lighten up Francis"

 

hey man, the car looks great. looks like youre taking the time to do shit right (clean engine bay, doing the detail shit like making the core support nice, etc....) glad to see it. good luck with the rest.

 

wow, looks great, I think we have the same trunk pan.

got any shots of the whole car?


btw,...great looking bulldog, we have two!

 

LOL........I guess you missed the joke part.............................DUMBASS

 

Wow this thread took a turn while I was at work! hahaha. Thanks for all the kind words guys. This is my first build so I have been learning a lot. I will try to get it outside and get some more pics soon.
