We got the exhaust and tips all finished up and removed what was hanging down under the cowl and raised that area up so we would have more room behind the dash.

WOW!! Huge undertaking!! Looks killer. Going back and looking at the first pics along with the overall shots on page 2 really shows how much leaner it looks with the stretched wheelbase etc. Great job! Nice workmanship!

Nice fab skills....

Al Moreno 01-10-2014 06:39 AM

I enjoy seeing these build were you take an ugly duckling and make it look cool. Kinda like the Ring Brothers Afterburner. Not difficult to make a 69 Camaro look coll. This on the other hand takes imagination. Great job guys! Keep the pics coming.

Looking good. I agree totally with what Al said. Not a common build, but you guys are making it so cool. By the way, what rear chassis suspension is that? Looks like Street Rod Garage stuff.

The rear suspension is street rod garage. We did change it up a bit though.

I'd know their stuff anywhere. SRG built my chassis too. Randy, Chris, and David....a great bunch of guys to deal with. I'd recommend their stuff to anyone. Car is looking sweet. Love the exhaust tips in the rear pan/valance.

Here are some pics of us moving the front wheel opening forward 4 inches and the braces that we made to tie the body and the frame rails together.

Any particular reason for the large saucer dimples? Was it just to strengthen the panels and round tie it in to the other dimples and punched holes? Looks good regardless of the reason. I really like this build. Keep up the great work.

wiedemab 01-18-2014 06:14 AM

Ummm -- -WOW!

Fantastic work.

The main reason for the circles was to ad character to the panel. There are circles all over this project so we just continued with the circles under the car.

We got the inner fenders all finished up and the top and bottom tank for the radiator made and started on getting the exact placement of the radiator.

Here it is. The top part of it is a half of a v band clamp with an 11 gauge top and the bottom is just some scrap that we had laying around. I know it is crude but it got the job done and did not take long to make.

Here are some little detail pics of the tips, hood hinges and the door handles.

Al Moreno 02-11-2014 06:44 PM

The handles are actually out of a Nissan GTR. We changed the trim ring up so it did no go all the way to the edge of the door.

69sms 02-11-2014 07:29 PM

ridiculously cool!

waynieZ 02-11-2014 08:14 PM

Wow This is awesome!!!

MSTSFabbed 02-12-2014 06:52 AM

I am loving this! Nice job on the hood hinges, I know what a pain setting up struts can be and that is a slick job! Keep it coming, you can't post too many pictures I promise.
