Hi i'm a new member what do you want for the chassis and wheels, Mr pontiac Tony

 

mr pontiac tony

haven't worked out how i'm going to dispose of the parts that i'm not using. already had lots of messages wanting bits mainly chassis. i might put it to auction, there is no V5c to go with the frame though

gary

 

keith

i was waiting for someone to say that

gary

 

looks good the way it is. whats your plans for it?

 

putting it on a tci chassis, body will be stock looking fully fendered

302 efi, t5 5 speed, ifs, 8" rear

 

what a shame it was looking so good too...........imho

 

he he ,looks like you have a plan lol
on another note do you have a flex plate for a cleveland motor

 

keith

flexplate is long gone sorry

gary

 

Love it Gary! That would have been the first choice of running gear for my 32 if it didn't already have the boatanchor in it when it arrived. Keep the progress pics coming mate!

 

body now on the new chassis, thanks listey, steve carr & biff for the muscle power.

cut some of the firewall out to get the dummy engine and box in to see how everthing is going to fit

i highly recommend the plastic engine blocks for set ups. it makes the job a lot easier

 

hi gary that looks cool, it will certainly go ok with that lump. how you getting on with mustang floor that was in four pieces lol

cheers

 

Looks really good Gary, always a difficult one whether to stay nostalgic or build your own car, think you've gone the correct route mate. Its your car, build it the way you want. :tup:

 

Nostalgic looks with modern running gear - a hotrod you can really drive and enjoy (and afford). Nice one Gary.

 

Thats gonna be great I love the 28/29 tudor sedans

 

I can see a feature in CC coming up when it's finished Gary. Just keep Biff away from it or it'll be flamed and tubbed before you know it.

 

Looks like you wont have to paint it!!! Looks great, I like the amount of room you have avail in the 'driveway/shop' too,looks nice and clean,Good luck.

 

been in the garage roughly assembling bits to see what fits and what needs moving

thinking engine might need moving forward touch

 

done a bit more mainly moving stuff about to check everthing is going to fit

shortened the bottom pulley to line up with the short water pump

altered the gearbox crossmember. TCI's version ment i would have to remove the running boards and fuel tanks just to change a clutch. (bolts will be tightened before it goes on the road)

made a quick change copied of Stovebolt Tech Tip -- Making a Short Shifter for a T-5 Tranny

also made a mount for the orignal hand brake

 

been back in the garage again to do a bit more, started to make some engine mounts as the ones that came with the chassis interfered with the exhaust. using the same design as the ones i had on my capri.
first i machined some alloy bushes to replace the poly ones for welding up as they are a bit more heat resistant

mount that fit on the block

this is the bracket for the frame, its made up of two bits of angle to get the taper & tube for the bush

will need triming to fit.

one done one to go

 

Looking good Gary, and coming on damn quick as well

 

engine mount now in place

extended the gearbox centre mount forward

put the hood back on to finalise the position of the radiator

repaired the running board brackets they had been part welded onto the old chassis and got mangled removing them

it now has steering, the column is temp fixed in until the firewall is done. the centre support is hidden under the engine mount

 

Looking great Gary, love the attention to detail - this is gonna be one sweet rod!
