1950 Stude Build

[dmw56]

Don that is a sweet build you are on there BTW did you ever put up that "sign"? and since you got a line on motors trade for a roadster???

Yes, the sign is up. But I need to find a better place.
You, betcha! What are you lookin for?

This won't look any different than the other pictures but got the color coat on the frame.

Wow man I'm way behind on this one. Where do you find the time? I can't wait to see more pics![cl

Did some work on the Stude. Started reassembling the chassis. Cleaned up and painted the rear end, spings, bolts shock mounts, etc.

Ran the rear brake and fuel line. From the 3/8" fule line I'll run 6AN line to the tank and fuel pump. I had to do the brake line in 2 pieces. I'll run it from the inside of the frame to the outside and then to the master depending on close it will be next to the header, same with the fuel line on the other side.

Well as you see by the dates it's been 2 weeks since I've had any time to work on it. (Got side tracked by the 34 Ford 5 window.)

Sweet, I'd missed that.
Congratulations, I can't wait to live through it with you!
Thanks for documenting your builds so well, helps us that are garage resource challenged (space/time/tools/money).

I wouldn't call that sidetracked. I'd be giddy to get inside and play in that 34 too. I'll be keeping my eye on you![P

I put the springs and spindles one. I cut one coil off so I could just get them in. They are really tight and looks like I lifted it. I'm going to set the engine and trans in just to see how much it will compress the springs. I may have to cut a half to a full coil still.

We need an update !!!!!!

We need an update !!!!!!

I haven't had a chance to do anything. I need to get the gantry crane in the shop to put the engine on but it's buried in the snow. Been busy prepping and selling cars, still got to get the 34 home, weekend in Vegas, etc, etc, etc......

Darn job gets in the way and don't have enough time to do what I really want to do.....build cars!

 

[Gregster]

Okay , your off the hook this time .

 

[chipper]

DMW,
Man that's lookin' good. I love the way MII's handle. I put one on my Nova & after that... nothin' else would do. Made my Nova go from handlin' like a brick to handlin' like a slotcar. This is gonna be a really kool ride!
