Underslung Modified Update Pics!!!

The only update is that we picked up a Toyota 4cyl Hemi engine/trans combo for it.Havent had time to work on it lately.

 

whatever happened to this project? any updates?

ncg

 

We are planning on working on it in the next couple of weeks.Will be mounting the engine/trans and then try to connect it to the torque tube .I will update as work progresses.

 

Well,we worked on this project some more.We mounted the engine /trans.Yes,thats a Toyota engine ......Ill have some pics of how we adapted the Dodge torque tube to the Toyota driveshaft early next week.

 

cool carb.. I know you guys are creative but not sure how that is going to work..

 

cool project.

 

Cool!!! Glad to see you're making progress with it. Now tel me where that s**** yard is and I'll go wait for the old guy while you work on the modified
Clark

 

You do realize that underslung cars are unsafe, not to mention gay and pointless, don't you? ha ha

 

HA!!! NO WAY!!

 

So...does that mean that you and I are unsafe and gay ? I always use protection on my pointer

 

Hmmm, I suppose it does. You can keep your pointer to yourself though.

 

Are you making any progress on yours??

 

Slowly. I have the rear suspension finished, other than finish welding. I decided to run F100 brakes up front, and today I clearanced the spindles a bit to fit my axle and hope to make it roll again this weekend. I'm pretty much done with the floor other than some little pieces around the firewall and ****** hump. I'm going to throw the body on soon and finish that up, and hopefully get started on the steering.

If money holds out, and Nick32Vic keeps calling and har***ing me on a regular basis, I might be able to have it nearly done (not painted)for Autorama.

 

Sweet!! .....Get back to work!

 

Minor updade!! We got the brake and clutch pedals mounted,the clutch master cyl. mounted and plumbed to the slave cyl. Got the torque tube cut down and mated to the Toyota driveshaft and flange.We still need to work on the Mechanical brakes and brake rods to get them to work again .

 

Here is a link to all of the pictures.

Dave made an intake manifold for it the other night.The carbs are off of an early MGB .

 

What a cool crust-rod, I love it.

 

So cool. You underslingers are makin me drool with these cool cars. I need to get out and see John's. I freakin fly or drive to terre haute at least twice a month.

 

Man, I hope one of these days I can build one of those funky-frontend rat rods just like you. You should build it OCC style and make it a Shriner theme car.

 

Yeah!! Move the rear axle foreward and make it do low speed wheelies ......back to the drawing board .

 

Any updates on this?

 

It sits really nice and has good proportions, I like it. In fact I know where a 25 Dodge Bros. touring is sitting in a farm field an hour away, hmmmmmm? Maybe after the tudor and the roadster are done

 

Looks Good !

My Buddy Rich has a 1925 Underslug that he fabricated himself also !

Look what he had to start with.
It looks like a car that Roger Rabbit or someone from that movie would drive~~

So I call his car " Kartoon Car "

 

you got some more pics of Buddy Rich's car?
Beautiful craftsman ship. how does it handle speed bumps?

..behind closed doors... - still a great song.

 

Funny you should ask .....Here are some new pictures with the top and seat re-covered.Dave also made some new door skins.We are having some carb issues with it.It has a bad habit of flooding the rear 2 cylinders l ,but when it runs right.....it runs awesome.

 

Love these flipped underslungs. Yours is looking very cool.

 

How's that driveline geometry working out?
How long is the driveshaft?
I like the overall look of it.
Who did the upholstery?

 

It seems to work good,but it leaks a little gear oil.Need to work on that. The driveshaft is about 2.5 feet long.The top and seat was done by a very talented girl named Kathy that is local to us.

 

Mazdaslam, it appears the dash you have came from a truck. The area on the dash where the black paint is had a plate warning about not exeeding 25 MPH. Do you have the plate to reinstall?? They are pretty hard to find, but I can get you a good pic if you want to copy it. The cowl would be post '20 deluxe because the windshield lays back from verticle and has cowl lights. My stock '24 DB brakes work fine up to 45-50 mph. You just have to plan escape routes just in case. Use the trunk. The top looks good.
