1932 Chevy sedan, chop, channel, corvette

[RickyBobby]

They're from airbagit.com they had the best deal and they're in az. I'm all for local business
I like them alot they work well, easy to adapt to my needs

Damn cool. Has an awesome stance[dr

 

[RickyBobby]

Got the chassis started, squared the subframes, now I need to get the holes drilled and spuds welded in, then upper mounts welded. Going to bring it to my work and do the alignment and go on, the subframes are dead on and the chassis is within a 1/8".

cage

really cool "cage" around the inside, that should help it to stay rigid and not flop in the wind

That looks like its coming along nicely! This is going to be a great one of a kind build!

I do have a question, looking at the rear suspension, and where the frame is, (this may be an optical illusion), but when the rear is at ride height (A-arms parallel to the ground) it appears as though the frame will be very close to the ground?

 

[RickyBobby]

It's set up for 5-6" off the ground, the suspension is pretty stiff, doesn't have a whole lot of sag. Rhe upper mounts will ride at about that same angle
Thanks for the kind words

Don't mind the pieces of angle iron on the bottom of the rails, I welded those on so I could clamp it to the frame machine

 

[CORPO]

Wow man this is looking really good, keep at it

 

[Neverdone]

That is AWESOME!!!!! I want one!!! I drool everytime I look at it..... You leaving those wheels and all on it?

 

[RickyBobby]

That's currently the plan, I have my eye on a awesome set from coy but they cost almost as much as the wrecked corvette. Haha. I'm leaving my mind open on them maybe I'll powder coat them if I need too

 

[Mike S.]

Great job! I like this one!

 

[RickyBobby]

Made some more progress, got my main floor tubes in, the firewall needed to be 3" longer to be where I wanted so I remade it and did a nice recess, have to column mocked up and started on re-arching the wheel wells. Ordering a set if seats to or row in really excited to get. Let me know what ya guys think!

the wheel wells arched look good and stretching the cowl for room is a great idea[

Thank you, it has a ton of leg room now, pedal box will be a little tight with a clutch pedal, but so far it's measuring out good

 

[bob w]

You have a terrific project going. Great workmanship and ideas. Will the cowl extension be under a hood?

 

[JG350]

This project is coming along quit nicely[P

I haven't decided yet, I've gone back and forth with hood or no hood. If I did one it would just be a thin top, no sides

Thanks for the compliments, nice to hear for sure

 

[Bamamav]

You could always build a hood, then run it when you wanted, take it off when you don't. That's my plan, anyway....

What was your trick for making the rib for the new wheel opening?
