i got a few updates:

I ordered a tank from tanks inc. and got it mounted up.





I also got a seat from a 1997 dodge minivan mocked up



i ordered a 28'' column from lime works along with a 15" wheel. I made my own column drop...

I started with 1/8 x 1" flat stock and bent it in the shape i wanted. Then cut a flat piece to fill the top.












here is the clamping part...









It will be jam nutted on both sides...

 

Wow... looks great!

 

Dude, so far 100% cool. But please do something with that seat. Tell me you have plans to make it not look soccer mommish.

 

oh yea its gonna get a black cover similar to this... i might lose the headrests too im not sure yet...

 

coming along great, i'd opt for no headrests. that seat cover looks great, and would look perfect in the coupe. thanks for the inspiration this build has given me!

 

Lose the headrests...

 

a vote for no headrests here too! your coupe is looking great by the way!

 

thats looking awesome! nice build. and thats a great looking column support! nice work

 

we made some patches for the wheel well. We put the bead in in with a hydraulic press and some water pipe. They came out pretty good for the first time.






i also got a drive shaft made and fabed up some brackets to mount a drive shaft loop...

 

Did you have that seat cover made or an aftermarket? Just thinking ,using the same seat .

 

that is a picture i stole from www.classicroad.com

 

Tindall, that rear lower panel below the deck lid, that's a Brookville piece? I just bought one from Mac's and I'm hoping mine fits as well as that one.

 

Awesome job there young man. You proportions are spot on. I love everything about this car. It just looks perfect, Keep up the fantastic work.

 

Great work looking forward to seeing it finished!

 

You want to move those arms to the frame. That tube doesn't have the strength for even a mild engine. You are going to pull it out and pole vault into space at Mach 3...

 

yes it is from brookville...

 

Say what ?????
Look's fail safe to me.

 

Nice job i like everything that your doing,an this should show us all that if we can just stop an think that all of this can be done at home.Sometimes you don't have to have tons of equipment.Using the water pipe an a press,nice work!!

 

i started to lay some floors more to come soon





The tunnel is actually a model a engine pan...

 

Looks great man! Keep going!!

 

coming along great!

 

its looking good matt!! did you make the tunnel?

 

Nice work their looking killer keep the posts coming.

 

I must be lucky . Looks like I got the same setup in my 5W . 5000 miles with a built solid lifter 327 , somewhat hard driving and no pole vault into space yet ?.........Z.

 

good job!

 

the tunnel is the original splash pan from a model a motor

 

i finished the rear floors...




finished off making the last piece of the tunnel...





cut a hole for the master cylinder access....

 

i need more!
