Welcomr to CHR Kustombuilder and wruckster, glad to have you aboard. Looking forward to seeing some pics, sound like great projects. We love pic's here.:D I am finishing the new steering column install and tomorrow it will be getting the steering hooked up. It's been a long time since it looked like this:
This weekend I got the other Bear Claw latch installed in the glass doors so now both doors open/close. Also got the 1pc glass front held on and pretty much lined up, just have to cut/re-weld one mount about 1" over farther. Next weekend will be lining up and mounting the hood with the Dzus fasteners.
Man guys I don't know where to start, my car got overhauled almost!!!
There are a few guys in our local club that are KennyD quality builders and they have decided to take on my ride for exchange of some building expertice which I can provide.....soooo.......Things are really happening for my car!!!!:D I am really freaked out guys because I have done my building part(2 weeks worth of labor!!!!) and they came and took my Cheby!! They are saying some BS about the next time I see my '48 I will be able to drive it!!!:D :D Painted!!:D :D Wiried:D :D What more can I say!! Life is good!!
First shot with new motor and everything else!! Tranny is awesome w/new stall, Oh My God!!:D As soon as Speedway gets my new blockhuggers and everything else to fire this baby up, I will be NOTORIOUS!!!
Sorry guys, I am just really excited.:) :D :D
Well here is my newest project. I just bought it about a week ago and want to learn more about 50's trucks before I go taking it all apart. It is a 1954 witha 1947 grill on it and someone before me mad a bed to make it look like a tow truck so I guess I am going to go with that theme. Any other sugestions feel free to shoot them my way. It has the 235 6cyl with the 3 on the tree and factory rearend in it. I am going to keep the 235 and trans but put a different rear end in it. I am going to add power steering, all new bushings, kingpins, disc brakes, etc. but thats about it. Maybe some body work and new sealer(grey and black).
Ok I think this might show you a pic.
And here is another on of the back. Sorry I dont know how to put more than one pic in a post yet.:(
dont forget to heat the springs. :cool:Quote:
