36 Chevy Master

[Old Iron]

Well gang, thought I would put this build on the site.
It's a '36 Chevy Master that I've been contracted to build for a couple that live in Aruba.
His wife has a wedding venue business there and they are gonna use this car to pick up couples at the airport and transport them to all the places they need to go while there.
The first thing to do is, take all the old front end parts off and install a Mustang ll coil-over suspension.
The engine is a mid 80's inline six with a
Clifford intake, headers, turbo 350 and a C10 12 bolt rear end.
As we move along, I'll post what we're doing.

And we have a new addition to the shop. A 4x8 Langmuir CNC plasma

This will be fun to follow along. How did the owner select you? They made a wise choice by the way.

Thanks Couper, it's just about the right size but, a little bigger wouldn't hurt

Man, 6 volt horns on a 12 volt system should be loud

This will be fun to follow along. How did the owner select you? They made a wise choice by the way.

Thanks bob
I have a couple of friends (father and son) that ran monster trucks and were in the first 5 inducted in to the Monster Truck hall of fame, this fella was the coordinator who contracted them to do a show in Venezuela, they recommended and introduced him to me.

I did figure out today that it has a 292 inline 6

Cool - on both accounts!

292 ought to be able to drag around a bunch of fat rich tourists.[ddd
