I was following it and wondered what had happened. Please do the updates, anxious to see where you are currently. I love these T's.

Wow Tom sounds like you have been doing everything but work on your coupeIt certainly happens lol... Hopefully you can get that guy to get you those doors, good ones aren't cheap
Well Don thanks for the interest, I'll try to keep this thread interesting with some fresh pics...
Here are the brake and clutch pedal assembly, didn't feel like spending the $200 plus for swing pedals so here is my interpretation... Not the prettiest looking contraption but it is getting there. Have to finish fabbing the bellcrank but it is getting there.
Without bellcrank
Bellcrank fabbed
Bellcrank installed
Thanks, ThomasLast edited by 68Chevelle; 03-18-2011 at 07:32 PM.
Me: I don't know how to build a hot rod.
Old Hot Rodder: You ever build a model car?
Me:Yeah...
Old Hot Rodder: Well instead of using glue you weld.

Thanks everyone for the replies and support of this threadLike I said life takes over and had taken over once more a few days after my last post, my Grandpa's health had been declining and he passed away March 21... A lot of what I know about life and most things mechanical I have learned directly from him or indirectly through my Dad! He is missed but always loved to be working on something in his shop so I continued to work on the hot rod and have some updated pics... When I first bought the car he asked me what I was doing with that hunk of junk, I told him I was going to build a car
He did get to see the hot rod as it sits now!!!
The pedal frame all welded up
All the fabricated parts
Installed drivers side
Passenger side
Old gas door open looking down into cowel where remote fill tanks will be located
Thanks again for the interest and I will try to get a steady stream of progress pics when available,

I can't remember a singular event that triggered this nuttiness so I'll say it was being born. After we moved from Kansas to Chicago (I was 5 then) we'd drive back down each summer to visit the...
