White Devil 31 Coupe Build

The blown 32 video gave me a hard on!! I must excuse myself....

 

damn sounding nice and crisp yaaaahhhhhhh

 

Thanks mark Im deff. hoping for good news too!!!! Well you guys asked for a update and I gave it to ya!

 

Looking good.

 

Looking like you put in a good days work into it, great job Isaac.

 

Nice update Isaac. I hope your Grandmother is better.

 

Just got my third carb degreased, cleaned and painted...Its just a dumper so ill finish the rebuild this week then besides fittings and fuel lines my tripower will be done

 

Good job man, keep it up! I've been in the shop every day this week working on my coupe. We both have tons to get done. February is right around the corner.

 

Well got the motor mounts all buttoned up tonight. MEASURE MEASURE MEASURE and MEASURE again! Pops came over to help me out.....Got them cut out, grinded down, all measured up and fully welded in. Still have to drop the motor back down into the mounts but it got too late and 5 1/2 hrs was plenty of work for the night. Heres some pics.....

 

Ok maybe I wasnt done. I went ahead and got the motor dropped in to see what she looked like with the car on the ground and the carbs and valve covers sitting on there. Still ALOT of stuff to do but its starting to look like a car. Get some headers, distrib, ignition etc and she will really start coming together!!! Well its after midnight here and Im gonna hit the sack...seeing the motor in the car was a HUGE inspiration for me! The pic quality isnt great but you get the idea....

 

Good job devil.

 

This builds flying(compared to the speed I work at)!I really like the way it's coming together.Great work.

 

Looking good!!

BUT: Do you really weld in flip flops???

 

Thanks everyone I deff. feel alot better getting the engine sitting in the car....really starting to look more like a car to me now! Im going to try to get the coupe out of the garage today to get some outside pictures. And NO fuxl Im more of a steel toe boot guy myself...that was my pops test fitting a bolt (give him a break he lives at the beach)

 

SWEET ! keep plugin away brother....

 

sorry, just concerned about your toes

 

I like this build, you are getting it done. It is great you have the great help/support of your dad. I wouldn't get terribly hung up on "traditional", if you run disc brakes, electric, fan, a/c, power windows, tilt steering, or whatever, it is your choice-it is your car. First and foremost it has to make sense to you, and what your purpose of building it are. You obviously have put a lot of time, money, and thought into this. The use of old ideas/components and new ideas/components coming together, are what create the "traditional" rod for the future generation. Hot rodders have always sought out and used the best available components they could find at the time. I appreciate the look, you are going after, and you are nailing it. Gods Speed.

 

That's what I was thinking...
But I am not sure how big the distributors on the SBCs are!!

 

No but I just had to get the motor set where it needs to go. When I get my distrib Ill do the necessary cutting/recessing. Thanks alot 40fordpu for the kind works and encouragement! Like I said ill try to get some outside pics today

 

will you have it done for Daytona?

 

Ill be lucky if I have it done roughly by billetproof fl since it got moved up a month...just bought a house at the beach so well be moving next month (deff. eat of my car time up)

 

Yep - it looks like you are going to have to recess the firewall. Mine fit because I didn't have a heavy channel (only 1" in front).
Looks great! Keep up the good work!!

 

Well heres some outside pics...finally comin together

 

Lookin good !

 

Lookin BAD ASS, like the blackwalls on the chrome reverse!


Your ol' lady must be happy too, not one stain in the driveway...thats harder than building the coupe!!!!!

 

Great to see so much progress!
That thing is looking mean!

Norton

Thanks guys...when I get some headers on the car itll really start lookin like a ride!

 

what headers are you gonna go with?

 

Very nice man!
