still more work

gerrrrrrrrrrrrr

Got the eng. in frenched the headlights .

Looking awesome Pro70, I am liking that blown motor you have, very nice!

Low 49, you have a great ride there, it looks like you have doen alot to it already. Your trunk lid looks like mine, very rough! great job though.

Tore the Fairlane down in April and then hauled butt to Oklahoma when mom had a minor stroke. Didn't seem too minor at the time. The crazy old broad had the constitution of a sixty year old and didn't look much over seventy. Now she looks and acts her age.........86. Still has a warped sense of humor though.

Anyway, finally got back to the shop and continued to hack and slash. Narrowed a nine inch and tossed the 8 inch. Detroit locker and 4.11 gears and a 2400 stall lockup converter. Replaced the rotten panel where the battery was with new tin and put the batt in the trunk. Major surgery on the crossmember to drop the aod a couple inches and worked the e-brake linkage over to clear. Just have to make up a cable to link to the new explorer disc rears. Rebuilt the doors with all new fuzzies and track guides and made the hinges new again. In my spare time I finally got the damn water spots off the windows. Major PITA.

Quarter panels came in today. I'm ready for Sunday afternoon. See ya.

My new 4lb fiberglass bumpers came in today! ummmm..... that's all.

Here's A shot of the wifes 37. this was about 7yrs ago. Its tore down for minor repares and a met red paint. It was suposed to hav been done befor the 49 . still POed at me

Here's another one, Had this 30+ yrs. Just passed it down tomy youngest son last year.Pic is about 12yer ago.

Nice rides Low49, your new project should be awesome.

I have been sanding for days, pounded out all the dents and scim coated them, and do more sanding. I got my metal for my roll pans so it's going to be alot more filling and sanding. Sanding and sanding and sanding!!!

Sounds like the pro70 mobile will be hot rodding soon huh?

Na, It's all smoke N' mirrorz' @ this point. Lotsa' blocks, clamps & rope to keep it together. Just to get a handle on how everything will fit together so i can start "cage' fabrication. Puttin' it together with welds & Bolts will be down the road a ways. Lookin' forward to test fitting the new quarter panels next chance I get.

As I look at ur current pics, it dosen't really look like ur car was a car at 1 time, just a pile of parts clamped togther cause the only thing left of the original body is the roof and firewall, the rest is gone, but I saw the b4 pic so I know it was a compleat car at 1 point. It's gonna look awsome when it's done though. I'm not makin fun of the Z pro, I'v just never seen a car so hacked up but then again, I'v never seen a pro street build pics b4 I saw the pics of your car when I came to this site.

What did your '40 Chevy look like when it was being built???? . The Z looks a little better with the 1/4's mocked in place.
