As usual, great work guys. Looks killer.:thumbsup:

With all of the killer work on this car, everyone is concerned with the VIN tag?? Really??? When was the last time anyone got pulled over and then had to pop the hood to inspect the VIN/trim tag? (That was a rhetorical question. Please do not hi-jack this thread with examples to prove me wrong!:D )

Should be urethane not rubber. We are looking into delrin. The delrin will be more responsive than the urethane, but alittle more noisy (big deal) Urethane helps with the vibration causing less noise.

We are sure that this car didn't have a trim tag... I hope I don't go to jail over this. I don't know if they even had trim tags in 62. I guess I'm on Phil's good side again!!!!!:hail:

Wow I guess I should just look and drool with my little yellow helmet on in the back of the bus. Who cares what questions get ask, does it offend you? Are we all suppose to just say how awesome the build is and not ask anything?

Well Mister I can tell for a fact that I had the texas taskforce come into the shop and pull 2 car out and inpound them that was a year ago one was just back from paint and the other was just started. I will not remove a vin number from a car not here in texas. For the one was a bill of sale they still have the car and I had to replaced the custom car
and the do all the work he paid for.All I had to do it was not stolen impossible with no VIN. and they knew this.The car will be destroy.

Sorry for starting the drama. It was meant as a funny, sarcastic comment that I guess was taken out of context. I'm not telling anyone what they can or can't do. My bad guys, now back to the build....

No drama just Fun:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Hey no problem. I wish my Nova looked that good in bare metal.

Well I'm going to post more pictures later tonight about the car and Maybe I'll start a post in open discussion about vin tags!!!! I started to bag the vin tags and trim tags for the cars we work on and safety wire tie them to the interior quarter panel so they stay with the car. I hope we can end this on this post and move it to where it needs to be. And you can call me out anytime you want on anything we do. I understand we all have different ideas and visions and sometimes that helps. Thanks Guys

Here are a few pictures of the car today.

SWEEET!! You should post this project up on Steves! Those guys would really appreciate the project you have going on.

How do you guys emboss the interior panels? Do you actually stamp them or use some sort of buck and chisel type method? They look INCREDIBLE and my curiousity was screaming. Thanks, and the car is absolutely amazing!!!:thumbsup:

All of the embossing is done with a bead roller... Thanks for the compliments

A bead roller. Really. Well, I had no idea you could fully depress a solid shape like that! Awesome, thank you!

First of all - Awesome build! I can't wait to see this car at some of the shows.

I have a question related to the front "downtube" (I guess that's what I'd call it) seen in this pic. Is there going to be something else tied into it or am I missing something in this view? It just seems like that might be a weak point with that sweeping bend going to the floor/frame.

Quite possibly there is more to be added, so if so I'll stay posted for the updates. Thanks,

If I am thinking of the same tube as you are, it will have the door bar added to it. We just don't put them in at this point so they are not in the way. I am also up in the air about running it threw the firewall and out the front. But we have so much stuff under the dash it will really be in the way but I would still like to do it. Its just hard sometimes to draw the line on where to stop.

I figured there were more tubes to be added. I know what you mean, it's tough to say - where do you draw the line?

Keep up the good work. Keep the pics coming too - we love Pictures!!!!

Here are a few updated pictures of Gerry's steering column mount that Josh made up this past week.

The Radiator mounts that we fabbed to mount to the rails along with the Setrab coolers for the power steering and tranny. I plan on using Weldon 9200-a pumps for the tranny along with another one for the rear diff too. I am still working out the details on the plumbing at this time!!!

It appears - in the photos of the column / firewall marriage -- that the firewall is welded to the frame... is it?

Yes, It is one. All of our cars up until this point have been built with the body coming off the chassis. On this car, weight and cost were taken into mind when making the decision to be one. Plus the car was kind of that way to start.

I was going to ask you if the car was a unibody still. The 62 im working on will be as well....

Why would you not keep it Unibody?:rolleyes:

Well anytime you put a chassis under a car you have options. We put new floors in the car front to back so we could go either way. We didn't use one stock thing under this car. So its not like we just could keep what was there. If I was building an all out show car I would make the chassis separate from the body. Detail, Detail, Detail.

Good deal! it looking killer Good jod.:hail: :hail: :hail:

^^^X2

Just one more thing to do.....POST ON ANOTHER SITE. Should be no problem... Lot's of spare time!

Here are a couple of chassis pics we had

VERY NICE!!!:thumbsup:

All of the work on this car is simply amazing. Do you have a waterjet to cut out the radiator brackets?? I can tell all of your guys really pay attention to fit and finish of everything. Keep up the good work.

No we do not have a water jet... (I wish ;) ) everything is cut with a ban saw or plasma cutter then ground smooth.. Thanks for the compliments!

Here are a few Pics of the a/c and heat vents all welded and ground.

Great build. Awesome work!

For your rear suspension brackets, what do you use for material? 3/16" mild steel or something different? I'm referring to those great control arm/shock mount brackets. Those are great!

Thanks, Wes

Few updates from this weeks work!!!

Looking good!!!

Nice :thumbsup:

Awesome! I like the addition of the little tray under the glove box!

That is for the maps on how to maneuver the Auto-Cross courses.
