thanks dave.
you see fellas.
the positive comments i see all the time on this site is why it is my go-to one for my build.
p.s.
i have sat in it and made vroom vroom noises....
Way cool. I know a lot of guys think bias-ply is the only way to go, but they just don't have as good of a feel on a road trip as radials. (JMHO)
i may have found a line on some steel wheels for the 27 at a scrapyard across the state line.
about an hour away.
i am also waiting to rent my spare bedroom so i can throw that money at this project and finally finish it!
i bet another 1000 bucks will get it wired
wheels and tires
and brakes plumbed
as a visual person.
now that i can actually tell that it is becoming a grooovy chick magnet mobile.
i get all fired up everytime i look at it.
exactly what kinda chickie babes will dig this heap remains to be seen.....
it is a
1927/30/70 chevy 1960/64/83 ford
with a 50-60"s kelly jeep hardtop roof.
What type of timing cover/water pump/front accessory package is that on the 302? That thing seems HUGE!!! Your dimension from the front of the head to the front of the water pump pulley looks to be at least 50% more than mine, and may be twice! That thing is LOOOOOOONG!
Hey Billy, the little welder, can't see it too clear... Is it a Clark? 220 or 110 volt? I've got to get me a little one, my big Lincoln is just too dang big for a lot of the stuff I do....
i dont know the make but i bet it is a 220
i ordered the tie rod end for the steering
the blue box
trans modulator
and the h2o bypass hose today.
i got the wheels
they came of an old f-150
5.5 wide
15"s
$106 for four of em.
free lug nuts.
i dont know how i am gonna cover/clean up all those seams/welds all over the roof...
new wheels.
i hit them with industrial oven /grill cleaner
scrubbed them down
then degreased with brake cleaner.
primer and paint
