Rounding the door jams

Now I can finally work on my car I had to work on honey dues for the last few months. Now I need to fit the doors so I can go to my next few steps. Install the engine then the front clip. I am working on my door gaps adding and taking away metal so I can hopefully achieve a great contour.

Color Change

Maroon isn't cutting it.

Engine install

1996 lt1 from a 1998 Camero. The original motor was an inline 8 so the engine bay is long. Harmonic balancer is over the crossmember so the motor is slid back. I still have 6 inches of clearance from the firewall.

Engine install

Everything fits nice.

I'm back

Sorry about the one-year delay but had to double time it in the shop and do a bunch of side jobs that I really didn't want to do to make ends meet well I'm finished I'm back and I am focused on completing this build now I started with my frame and under carriage decided that gloss and sterling silver weren't cutting it for my car so new colors are por15 chassis black and por15 semi-gloss for the body

 

[Skip]

Welcome back. Looking forward to watching you finish this. [P

[dr nice work so far man! as for the chop check out sam fear's build thread it may be of some help

I am thinking of using 48 Cadillac taillights for the olds. This will be used with a 56 ford bumper. Here is my mock. Any ideas? The last pic I like.

I like the tri five Chevy wagon rear bumpers them seem to be a close fit on my friends fleet line. Btw this build is awesome . Glade to see you back at it, I find it’s hard to get back into them after a break

 

[46carnut]

I'm back

The rear bumper is a 56 ford Victoria
