Thread: Everybody that is currently building a car...

My son came over tonight and gave me a hand, havent seen him much since we finished his 69 Chevy truck so it was nice to have him over. We got a lot done, looks like the engine/trans is going to fit just fine! Time to start making mounts!

That is a nice fit. Those engines are getting more attractive all the time.

Should work out good, Falcon!! That amount of engine setback should certainly help out on a long and heavy car, makes the handling much better...

Even though i bleed blue Falcon that bow tie does look great . Before ya know it you'll be putting a wire to it .

Lookin' good falconvan .


I bought an intake today. I guess that's some progress???

Pro then youll be flying by my house on the way to 66 .

It's just to get the carb hat & plumbing mocked up for now. But even a little progress is progress I guess.

Well pro? what did you get? you're killing us man

Standard deck Super Victor. Should be here Wed.

Heres a couple of shots of the chassis that I am putting together for my 65 Chevelle SS.
It is a 'bolt in' using the factory body mount locations w/ very little floor pan work. The only 'bushings' used are Moly impregnated nylon in the lower a-frames. Everything else is either Teflon lined heim joints or spherical bearings.
spindles are GM B-body with a C4 rack handling the turning chores.
Theres a few widgets and dammits yet to be completed, but the majority of the fab work is done.

Looks like the handling part of the Chevelle will be very impressive . This is what some vendors should do at shows . Drive a stock suspension car then get in one that has this type of work . Feeling the difference so close in time would be great .

Very clean looking set-up. Great job Doug.

Doug,
This thing is awesome looking! I tried to talk the wife into selling one of our teenagers to a lab for scientific experimentation so I could build one like it for the Plymouth but she said no. I guess I'll have to settle for looking at yours. Great job!

You can't sell teenagers!!!! Doubt you could find someone willing to take over the payments!!!!

Well, Bill and I are at it again....He got a '67 Mustang Coupe, a takeout 53,000 mile 5.4 Triton engine with AOD, complete wiring harness and accessories, some 1 1/2" X 3" rectangular tubing, an MII crossmember & hats, and some 1 1/2" round tubing. Should be fun!!!!!!! Stay tuned!!!!
