AFTER shot of front suspension. Basically stock, but replaced uprights w/ 2" dropped Fatman's. Also installed Jamco disc and cut coils and stabilizer. I need to figure out the steering, but plan to stay stock for now. I really want to bag it, but will do that w/ stock suspension as well...

AFTER shot of the roof. It's in acid primer and a little high build. This was a freaking mother to strip all the rust off. I actually primed the thing 2 times, only to have to strip it all again and redo it..... Still working, but dragging my feet a little because I really, REALLY, REALLY...

AFTER shots of the firewall. Smoothed as much as I could by welding in holes and using a little bondo skin. Then primed it... I did the same w/ the inner fender wells. I plan to paint the engine compartment body color and then drop in the drive train so I can start enjoying the dude while...

AFTER shots of the interior and trunk..... Basically fab'd my own pieces from flat steel and welded in w/ MIG. I AM NOT a welder by any stretch and blew a lot of holes in the worn out metal..... I am curious how many welds will pop when I torque the frame with the new SBC.

I agree w/ the other guys. Not digging the side pipes. Perhaps the "more traditional" lake pipes, but not the ones you got on there now. Since I gave you my opinion, would you come over and pancake my trunk lid ?? :)

This is very nice ! Great stance, awesome engine selection. Sweet....

Thanks. Yes, touring, but what you can't see is that one of my relatives cut off the back and made it a flatbed truck. ....back in the war, I guess..... I will post some pix under the builds....

Yeah, P.S. - I like the HAMB, but for them to say that "rat rod" is a 4 letter word is the pot calling the kettle black!!! Some of their projects are WAY MORE out in the woods than a rat rod !! I guess I need a definition.

Hey Sam Fear, I have the one project right now being the '49. That is slow as molasses... I am trying to work a deal to pick up the Model "A". I guess the Introduction page is not the right place for project discussions, so I'll post a few threads over on the "Build" page later on.... I...

ok, so I'm a newbie. Interesting, I read Kenzie's post and had the EXACT SAME THING happen to me on HAMB. Go figure..... Glad you guys are here. I have a '49 Chevy Styleline I have been fighting for about 4 years and also working on getting a '28 Model "A" (avatar picture). I made the...
