Projects the coupe from half moon farms

i finally got started on the motor. 020 egge pistons,arp rod bolts iskycam hydraulic/and a crap load of hot heads parts.

 

Will the rear handle that power?

 

i plan on upgrading to a quick change down the road.

 

Oh your gonna love it!

 

looking good, glad to see you making some progess.

 

Looking good! Doesn't matter what kinda mill it is really, I have always dug a fresh unmarred, pristine, fresh engine.

 

Looking good. I see you have an adapter on your transmission to keep your closed torque tube. Did you machine it yourself or buy it from Steve Serr at Aggressive Engineering. I switched to an open driveshaft on my 35 Woody convertible but wanted to put a t5 jeep trans behind my 36 1/2 ton stakebed.
Keep up the good work.

 

Been following this build and I love it, but I think you have your rear wheel cylinders in the wrong way around. The bigger end needs to be towards the front.

In one other pic, it looks like you might have them the right way round - just mentioning it in case it has slipped by.

Mart.

 

yep i figured that out after they were together

 

See you at Billetproof today brother?

Looking lood

 

No disrespect intended, but use capital letters man. It's the "shift" button on the left and right of your keyboard.
I'm no english major, but proper punctuation sure makes it easier to read.
Nice build by the way!

 

WOW... this is one of the best / most complete build threads I've seen here... had to post & offer my praise, & just so I could follow along... just awesome !!!

 

i got the heads on

 

tore down the trans and installed new syncros, bearings and two new gears

 

Right on, I was just thinking about your build,looks like your movin along. Quinton

 

ihad to drill out the flywheel because my crank was taped for larger bolts matching up the trans to the engine the shaft bottoms out. so i had to trim the throwout bearing sleve and remove some of the splines. it took a few times but i was able to make it work

 

its been a long time coming but the engine made it in the chassis

 

Nice straightforward thread on a timeless build. Careful construction makes a nice, sanitary car. Enjoyed the prowess with which you attacked the subrails...
Wish everyone would take the time to place rear axle in the centerline of wheel wells.

This is a textbook example of good planning and execution.

 

Glad to see it coming together. Looks great.

 

Hey guys I've been thrashing hard on this thing the last few months trying to make it to billetproof. I haven't had any time for updates but lots of progress being made. I have a chance of making it to billetproof. But I'm going to need a lot to go my way this week for it all to come together.either way I'm close to that first drive.

 

Nice, man!
Just snap a couple of pictures for us, on your break

 

Good luck. I hope you make it. The car looks great.

 

Alright I'll cross my fingers and wait at the No Where? bar for ya!

 

We don't beleive you. We require proof.

Ok guys its not going to make it to billetproof this year. I've just got tho many things left to do and not enough time. I'm getting closer to driving. I'll post some pics when I get some time

 

I love the small amount of overhang you did of the front of the cab over the frame. I will definitely do that also. Love the pictures and the progress.

 

Lots of work has been done since I last posted pictures. I have sandblasted and primed the fire wall,floor, interior, and dash

Also have set up the carbs and fired up the engine. The engine sounds really nice.
