Boy that old car looks good in the pics but that guy scratching his **** needs to go !!

 

Love the stance Terry!

 

Kathy all the guys that hang out at the shop say that all the hear from me if dont sit right it's not a hot rod !! Thanks my 11 year old was looking at it and said dad where does the ac go I am gonna have to have the talk about hot rods with her !!Well I hope we all make the Round Up this year. I will be going to Minnesota for a plant start up. I much rather work on the coupes !!

 

It does sit right man, but as we all know, you wouldn't have it any other way. I miss the gang man. It's hard wrenching without Jons puppy ***isting. lol.

P.S. Collard Green.

 

We are still doing the same crazy stuff man hope you make the LSR.

 

Terry, if you need to measure anything from mine on the subframe (or anything else)let me know. Most of the time its in the air anyway

Ol Jackie made some derogatory statements about my 32 but unlike the mystery 32's I will drive mine. I have bought a new rear body panel and all the patches and a new cowl and I have a firewall that Billylo got from B*** . This duece is starting to take shape. Now now Bodyman I am a ol retired bodyman and old and slow we were at the shop saturday may be home this weekend and back on the car . And last but not least Django being last to the party is not bad the easy chicks are usauly drunk and ready to go ! no this is one crazy car build and it's gonna go fast !!

 

You can have the 32 the Chevy has my heart. Even with the Hemi.

We miss you down here Conor and me are also working on the falcon. Conner did the best head gasket blow job ever between all cylinders he is an over achiver !! all we can think is was a retorque gasket I send the head out and checked the deck it's ok .We will be a the Round Up in force !!Come see us I promise you a good laugh !!

 

Just adding a couple of pictures of the pancaked rear crossmember as well as the last boxing plate getting installed yesterday. after the plates are completly burned in, the x-member will be fit and then on to motor mounts and suspension.

 

Yep heres more pics

 

Terry, where are you located. I live in White Oak, next to Longview?

 

Just adding a few more update pics for Terry. Rear end is hung and he needed a little C-notching in the frame to clear so we added those as well as a notch for the exhaust in the rear cross member. The motor mounts are now welded in and the x-member has been modified and welded in. The removeable trans plate is in under it and the factory clutch and brake pedals were retained and will work very nice. Shock brackets are next and then on to the front end.

 

Now with pics.

 

Terry,
You guys have been busy my friend! Man on a mission - love it!

 

slow down your working to hard for a retired mud slinger . lol looking good

 

Hell Fire from having a driver to a late model this is a sin .Now I have to work my *** off where I can hear all those gold chainer comments from my loving buddies !Mounting the rear shocks and welding in body mount nuts tonite !! this week end the front end and raidus rods and mounts. I can go as fast as my friends will let me and tolarate the abuse Ha Ha !!

Thanks 57 I cant belive it but now I have to get it rolling!!

 

Wow, what a score and what a pace you are going at to get it together and still doing it right. That is going to be a right nice little hot rod when you get it on the road.

 

Thanks M.r 48 chevy but I need to get this ford on the road where I can get back on that chevy ford desoto behind it , my 33 3 window chevy and my wife said she would drive the fastest car to the Round Up for me !!

 

Well yesterday was one of those cut out what I done and redo days. I had to remove my motor mounts and swap my headers around the steering box the was not gonna clear and starter was to close to the headers so out came the torch and grinder sb fords are hell to set up but I won I will post some more pics soon.Oh ya the front end is under it and the radius rod brackets are on it to more soon!!

Dude this is cool!!! I cant wait to see it at the round up.

 

Hell of a trade!

 

Hey the cool part is the only part that I have used from the original car is the rear spring

 

Just a few pictures of the holiday weekend work on the coupe. Subrails are done minus a little clean up, floor pans are cut and awaiting bead rolling, cowl has been cut but still needs the post laid back, and the trans tunnel is in. Terry welded out the wishbones and rear end brackets also so they will be ready for cleanup and paint soon.
