Great car to put a Coyote 5.0 in. Those are good looking shoeboxes.

This is the build thread on the 55. I just wanted to show some of the other cars we have built. I figured that there was not much interest in hot rods so I didn't start a new thread showing them. I have some build pictures that I will post up a little later today

This is how she looked when we first got her home from pennsylvania and in the shop.



Scrap 272 Y Block that came with and a box of junk parts

after a few days of having it at home we couldnt stand looking at the car sitting so high we pulled her down a bit!

Since the art morrison chassis will take 4 weeks to get here we are prepping for the chassis to come in.

We have the interior all gutted. when we got the car some interior pieces were thrown together to make the car look better in the pictures and look better selling it. the stock carpet was blue and they painted it black along with the door panels. all the garnish moldings had 1 or 2 screws holding them in and a few other things. Anyways we had mostly everything out but the seat. We decided to take the seat out yesterday and it came out pretty good and we vaccumed all of the old foam out of the car that fell out of the seat. next we raised the car up on the lift and we took all of the body bolts out of the car except the front 2 that we loosened up and can take them out quick when we get the chassis.


Right now we are working on test fitting all of the door eyebrows and stuff because we recieved the wrong ones and want to make sure that these are going to fit.

We also have a 1956 ford dash that we are working on and smoothing out.
