After sitting for 15 years I pulled her out of prison. I was almost finished her years ago but after getting out of paint project went on the backburner. which I'm glad for cause the direction I was heading in was completely impractictal. LS mock block and 4l80 core are on the way for mock up. sorry about the pics its hard to get good pics in the shop with the light . I'll try to take better pics as things progress.

I've got the engine laid in looks like there are some clearence issues with the centerlink and the pan. I think I'll just fab some slightly higher frame brackets to clear. The 4l80 looks like it will fit with just some slight clearencing above the tailhousing where it bolts to the case

lookin good man, lets see some more pics :thumbsup:
|
whats up Tony, she is looking really good and keep us updated.

Made some dash progress. Moulded my own dash insert, just need to mould some pods so I can flush mount the gauges. I also made a two piece panel for the VA controller so the controller can sit flush. Waiting on some mig parts to hang the VA unit .

Bringing this back from the dead.
A little progress. I'm taking a shot at my own door panels. Foam model http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...v/DSC01089.jpg Im going to use mdf to make the panel so I can make a mold. the finished piece will be fiberglass. http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...v/DSC01088.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...v/DSC01087.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...v/DSC01090.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...v/DSC01092.jpg |

Very cool door panels. Keep up the good work.
|
Nice! I'm also making my own door panels, but to forgo the mold process I am laying the glass over the foam using epoxy resin.
Keep the pics coming! Shiny Side Up! Bill |
Looking good tony I really like the door panels.
|
Great project! keep the pictures coming. :thumbsup:

Thanks guys. Hey mover have a link to your car? I'd like to see some pics.
Had some time this week so I blocked and smoothed and rolled all the edges. I put them in primer tonight and have them at the point where I can pull a mold from it. This is taking a ton of time I thought the dash insert was bad but these are much worse. http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...v/DSC01105.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...v/DSC01106.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...v/DSC01108.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...v/DSC01109.jpg |
looks great! interior is sweet. if i ever do a chevy its deffanitly going to be a chevelle, love the look:thumbsup:
|
Love the door panel's. What seat's are those?
|
wow! is about all I can come up with. I have similar plans in my head and have rolls of material sitting in my living room waiting to become seats and dash panels. The doors are nice. Not to knock anyone but it seems a lot of interiors that belong in street rods are ending up in muscle cars and I'm really digging how you're going custom but still keeping it .... appropriate, for lack of a better term. Nice work IMO.
|
Your door panels are cool:thumbsup: Keep teh updates coming;)

Finally got back to the door panels. I originally wanted to use BMW handles but the handle body had curves that would not allow it to sit flat. The hunt was on. After looking through fleabay for a few days I decided to hit the local pick n pull hoping to find something I liked that was flat. I finally spotted these in a Mitsubishi Diamante. Since deciding on the handles I also decided to repop this panel so that the recess for the handle and the recess for the speaker would all be moulded as one piece versus bonding them to a finished panel. The end result would be no chance of the recess delaminating from the panel itself. Tomorrow I'll start on the recess for the speaker and grille. In the mean time this panel will serve as a mock up panel.

The speaker grille and mounting have been figured out. The grille cloth is not stretched in the pic and the aluminum bezel has not been trimmed yet.
http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s.../DSC011851.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s.../DSC011911.jpg And then there were two. I'll be making a new mold for the passenger side with a much smoother finish that incorporates the door panel recess and the door handle recess so they dont have to be bonded in later. I should have molds for both front panels in the next week. Then I'll get started on the rear. http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s.../DSC011901.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s.../DSC011891.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s.../DSC011881.jpg Permenant backing panels bonded and trimmed. http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s.../DSC011871.jpg |
This is incredible..thanks for the pics...What kind of foam did you use in the begging to make the shape you wanted?
