Looking Good 53 !!! You've made a heck of a lot of progress in a short time. Gonna be a nice cruizer.

Man- O - Man Dave; You do some awesome work!!!
Wish I lived closer to you and I've probably said it a hundred times. Every thing I've seen in pictures of your work is allways clean and sharp. Allways super smooth looking stuff, It's unbeliveable how one person could have so much talent to do some of the stuff you do with cars. Keep the Pictuers comming.

Well,

Here are a few pictures of my almost completed Frame. I am building a '35 Ford 5 window Coupe.

The Frame has Heidt's Superide II front w/2" lowered Spindles, front Sway Bar. It is setup for a 454 w/a 700R4. The rear Frame has been narrowed, c'd, w/a Pete and Jake's 4 Bar. It has a narrowed 9" big bearing rear with a 3.55 4-pin Trac Loc, and a Deuce Factory rear Sway Bar. It runs a polished 4 wheel Wilwood Disc system, with polished Stainless Steel brake lines. It has 17" front and 20"X10" rear chrome American Torque Thrust II's. Most of the Chassis is Powdercoated.

The Body work is happening now. I will post some pic's at a later date. I think it will take the remainder of this year to get the Body in shape and mounted w/Fenders and such

I hope I can post these pic's- if not, can someone tell me how?

Thanks for looking,
Craig

Well,

It won't let me post the pic's-say the File is too big-anyone know how to make it work?

Thanks,
Craig

Thanks Vegas, you're making me blush !!!!! Really wish I could quit taking on customer cars and just do my own. Approaching burnout or something, I guess.

I hope I can post these pic's- if not, can someone tell me how?

Thanks for looking,

just use the browse on the bottom of the page to open the folder and when you post, do not preview the pic, it wont load then. good luck

I here ya, that's the hardest part of building a 348 or 409, Trying to get the pistons back in the hole without breaking a ring cause of the angle of the block deck. Wish you luck bud.

well i got all the pistons in tonight, i learned you dont pop them in, you massage them in . it kinda wierd not using a ring compressor

Dave That's the way it go's, ya work on every one else's and are to tired to work on your own. and that's very common with painters, plumbers and electrician.

Does anyone know how to re-size a File? IWhen I try and upload it says that I have exceeded the 250kb File size-

Craig

Craig, Send the file to our32@aol.com and I'll fix it up so you can post it.

I use my paint shop pro7 program to resize but I think the software that comes with your camera may have a resize edit, my hp camera does.


I have never worked on a 348 but it sounds like an adventure. I have enough trouble figuring out my little SBC!

I hope these come out this time-Thank you pro60chevy!

Craig

here's another-

last one!

here is progress of the 55 nomad , ready for assembly.
