Projects The Tindall Coupe Build

cool build, ya gonna run the wide fives on all four corners

 

i think i am gonna stick with 16' steelies after mock-up

 

i decided to tackle to motor mounts. I think they should stand up to the 409, but we will see. Most of the plate is 3/8 and the rest is 1/4. i wanted the motor to sit kind of high so that complicated a few things, but they are coming out pretty good so far. I still need to weld them, and add a wrap-around gusset on the bottom plate.

Sir, THOSE are some sturdy looking motor mounts. Fantastic!

 

Cool solid motor mounts. You really don't need that center / middle gusset on the mount unless you are going for 1000hp, but if you like the look it is all good. Also, the good thing about mad over engineering, it leaves a lot of room for upgraded power in the future, but also leaves a lot of room for error in welding or design...etc
Looks great.

Very nice......love this build!

 

Was that sticking with the steelies on the back or getting rid of the wide fives in front also and running steelies. Was this a particular trick that guys use to do back in the hay day (1940 and up steelies out back, Wide fives in front)? It's pretty cool. Oh and that engine is key. Nice work.

 

your hiboy 5w looks fast as hell!!!!

 

the only reason i have wide fives on the front is the tires were already mounted on them. It will have steelies all the way around. I think the wide fives would look out of place.

 

Great build. I think that your motor mounts look good, very nice work, which applies to the whole car.

 

as always, i refuse to use the word bitchin...

but that said that car is REAL cool man...

 

Great Work. Nice car. Awesome motor. I'd give my left testicle for a 409! That was THE engine back when I was in High School. Keep the posts coming. Perley

 

finally got a chance to roll it out and take some new pics.

 

That's a cool Hot Rod!

 

Proportions are good and stance is right on. Great job so far, keep it up!!

 

So what did you pull that motor out of?

 

my dad got a pair of 409's from a boat a few years back. The date code is for a 63 Impala

 

Man that is looking NICE, the 409 is the ONLY Chebby motor I would ever use. Tough and sweet to look at, keep it up!
Doc

 

looks real good cant wait to see some more updates

 

Thats bitchin!! I thought about getting a 409 from this old dump truck and having i gone through, but i have to buy the whole dump truck. No room at my apartment for that.

 

Looks awsome!

 

Hey that looks great!! Very well put together! Great fab work!

 

i love that car already!

 

Note, if the pair of 409's came out of one twin engine boat, one is probably reverse rotation. Oh and the car is tits!

 

Is tits good or bad?

 

Looks great. A nice choice for a motor too. It sits perfect as well.

 

Nice Job.....perfect stance, tire size, rake....chop....

 

Worked on putting a new patch panel in the driver cowl.. It came out alright for my first one i think.

 

Cool Ride dude! I got a 5w A Body being loaded on a boat to australia in two weeks. I hope it to look somethin like yours but with a hemi 6/904 driveline. Cant wait till it lands and clears!
