1931 Chevy's lets see them

[edgeabilly]

I'm building a 31 5w coupe and would love too see others. Coupes, Sedans and trucks..[cl[cl[cl[cl Running a 292 il6 with a Clifford 2x2 intake, mild cam, T5 5 speed tranny and a 1965 Chevy 10 bolt posi rear end. I'm trying to keep it all Chevy and I think I can do it other than the front brakes.

My '31 - 1

While it's not a '31 Chevy... Here's a shot of my '30 Chevy. It too will be powered by a inline, a 235 with an Edmunds Custom intake. There aren't very many early Chevys here or any place else for that matter...

This one was built by Terry & Lee (Tator, here on RRR) for a mutual friend named John. John's been very sick for a couple years and hasn't been able to enjoy this very quick ride.

[chevellelovermichael]

this is our next one in line. it was in a barn fire some years back, and a support beam fell on the middle of the roof, kind of pancaked the quarter panels. it was the first time i ever tried serious body work.

Are you replacing the wood with steel?

 

[chevellelovermichael]

Are you replacing the wood with steel?

trying to. have the rear, windshield/door frame, and rear windows framed in.

 

[edgeabilly]

trying to. have the rear, windshield/door frame, and rear windows framed in.

Are you using 1x1?

 

[chevellelovermichael]

Are you using 1x1?

1x1 square, thin wall, for the window frames, and the thicker wall stuff, for trunk, and door/ windshield frame.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Are you gonna have the rear window roll down? I'd like to just need to figure out the mechanism.

no, it will be chopped, and stuff. the body is in pretty bad shape, so i have to cut as much away as possible.

 

[edgeabilly]

Yeah, I chopped mine but still want that rear window to roll down.

The front brakes should be one of the easiest parts to keep Chevy. Are you using drums or discs?

 

[endicott_jb]

Front brakes for Chevy, here ya go. I bought one of their kits. Super easy to install. If you're running 14 inch wheels though, you'll need 1/8th inch spacers and to shave down the high spots on the calipers. Other than that, they use the stock spindles and stock steering arms but you can always fab up your own if need be.
