Seems most projects go that way JD. Starts out to be something simple, ends up being a major transformation!!! Heck, if it was easy and quick everybody would be doing it !!!

Finally got the chassis off the jig and built a rotisserie so i can weld the tough to get at stuff.

I know what you mean Dave. This started out as a mild street build.

Wha-happened???

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYBODY AT CHR

hey pro70z28 it looks good and i know it right . but my back is getting sore just looking at all that tig welding. thank god for thumb wheel on the tig torch hope you have one ?or your leg may fall off to. my new welder has one . i shure like it to .i use it on headders and over head welding hard to run the gas pedal somtimes

Looking very mean pro60, I think that baby is going to fly! I love the look too, got to be the baddest 60 out there!

jdcone, I know exactly how you feel, I guess you really can't determine how much of everything a build is going to take untill you get into it. Looking forward to pics.

What engine does the car have in it fordsfairlane? Thats alot of car, should have a monster motor for it huh?

Happy new year to you too Pro70 (and everybody) looking forward to seeing the body on that monster, it's going to be one mean mother!!

the car has the original 413 engine in it . and yes its very big .




i guess thats why I like it so much, you cant beet the way the big cars would seem to float down the road.

Looks like you have a bit of welding time in front of you, Pro Z. What's next?? About time to start fitting the body shell???

I'd like to get the rear end together and the front suspension / steering set-up by this spring so we can take it through the tech lanes and get a sticker on the cage. Problee' will expire by the time it's running but at least I'll know it will pass inspection.

So you can go through all the inspections without having the body on it Pro70? Sounds like you'll have it pretty close by that time huh?

I got some great news today, the opening finally came up at my bro's shop so I will be getting my car in to work on it! I am stoked to get started, I have alot to do before the first run in the end of march. New engine, finish interior, trunk, engine compartment and paint the body. Don't know if I will make it but I know the mechanical part will be done before it comes out for next summer. I ordered my new aluminum radiator tonight along with a reistate controller for the fan too. I have bought new "Cool Hose's" for it, all chrome pans for underneath, new hard fuel line so it will be solid from stem to stern. I also bought a whole stereo set-up from a bud including amps. 15" subs, 2 more pairs of 6x9's and an equailizer. I can't wait to get started!

Sounds like you have your work cut out for you Brick!!! The end of March will be here fairly soon...... Good to hear you have a nice shop to be working in now, makes everything go a lot better.

Yes it is Dave but we're right on track, old engine is out. Frame has been detailed and the new engine is going in. Next fabricating the mounts for the new aluminum radiator and install it. Upward and onward!!! I'm having a ball I have to say.

out with the old, in with the new!! I love this hobby!

Looking Good, What front suspension are you useing? Is that a sub frame or original?

Hey Brick, looks like that is going to be one heck of an improvement in the performance and the looks department!!!!! You're going to spoil that chebbie working on it inside like that!!!!! Going to get the paint put on it this winter too????

Just about done with my '62 C10 except some wheels, its been a long process as a 16 year old with three sports lacks time and money lol. Any ideas for wheels?????
