Thread: 27 T tudor Hot Rod build

Tweet

Thanks!
I am planning a Hi-boy on a model A frame. Chevy 350 dressed to look like a 265 with saginaw 4 speed (wish I had a T-10)
I want a hot rod and don't want to go the rat rod route. Just not my style

Sounds good to me. If I remember correctly all of the early 265's had stagger mounted valve covers and if I also remember correctly the best stock heads for those valve covers were '57 Fuelie heads.

It has been awhile since I posted any progress but it finally is spring in Ohio and I am able to work on the car again.
Last week I got the model A frame disasembled and started to put it back together. I welded in a new front crossmember and I tacked the rear crossmember 3 inches higher and 5 inches further back. I still need to fabe some gussets for the kickup.

Since it is warm outside now, I should be able to post some progress pics of some sort at least once a week. Also since this is my first build if anyone has any tips or notices me doing something wrong or unsafe throughout my build please let me know.

Straight Frame

Kickup and set back
