1936 chevy build

[Twisted Minis]

The chop looks good, truck looks mean.

If I can make a suggestion? I would redo the top half of the rear frame. I think it being up as high as the tires looks kind of funny, and its kind of a peave of mine. I would honestly drop it down so that is closer to the axle. Say your ride height is 2", I would make the frame about 3" above the top of the axle. If you did this, I think you could build the bed so the top rail is closer to the trucks bodyline, which I think would look more natural.

i see what your saying, and was actually thinking about that, but i was originally going to bag the rear, and wanted to hide everything under the bed floor. i may still, not sure. to be honest, i like the bed height a little above the bodyline, it makes the top not seem so bubbly and tall.

well, its been a while since i updated to here is a little more. ive had to return two brake pedal assemblies to speedway and finally have a wilwood reverse floor mount on the way that should work. i also got a reversed corvair box and im getting my mount all fabbed up now. i did some more sub-floor and started my firewall bracing since this will support my colum. i also swapped the 700r4 that was donated to me for a freshly rebuilt th400. i would like to show yall the sweet tri power setup i got for $100 dollars, but it turns out the edlebrock c355 intake only fits a 265. bummer

i think your truck is bad azz

hey any problems with the long wheel base on the street?

 

[willmceliece]

heres a few recent ones of the brake setup were using with parts from welder series. (badass company by the way)! it worked out nice and kept me from having a two foot driver. still smoothing out the chop lines in our spare time so you wont see any. heres a mock up intake my buddy did, i think its a winner whether i run it on the tri power or a 4 bbl setup.

2 weeks ago we built some POS cars to raceint the down hill challenge in atlanta. it was at the starlight drive in where they have the drive invasion car show every year. we all sucked but it was fun as hell. and the odd rods c.c had a few of their rods out too.
purple is for pimps and gold for the hunnies!

 

[willmceliece]

so i get a call about a machine shop closing and they had a noce welding table i wanted. well i ended up scoring a 3/8" 4"x8" table, a packard drill press, and a neat old brake that works awesome for 200 bones. i couldnt get the cash out quick enough!

 

[35Mastr]

Now thats a score.That Wilton vice alone is more than 200 Bones.

I hope that you have a TV in that garage with all that sattalite cable just sitting there.

 

[willmceliece]

that wilton was my dads i love that thing, its been around since i was a little boy.
