Finally!!!! My first ground up build. 27/28 Dodge

[cranny]

put the body on to see how she looks. Left the frame rails long until i get my motor in. then i can burn in my front crossmember. I might channel the body down a couple more inches to hide the luv frame a little more.

Anyway here's where i am right now.

 

[cranny]

More updates, set the body down over the frame about 4 inches and started building my sub floor.

 

[cranny]

also got my motor mounts made and the motor set in place.

here's the look of the car after this weekend.

Cranny. Man that looks great. Can't wait to see it on the street.
Gonna be ready for the Knuckle Scrpers BBQ in the spring? Or better yet Palouse days in a couple weeks?

Nice build you have. what kind of exhaust system are you gonna run? Open headers or full length style? Just curious. Thanks.

 

[cycledog]

Dang, that's almost ready to cruise.

looking good keep it going

 

[cranny]

marked my centerline for my spring perch, set it at 6 degrees, and tacked it in.

 

[earthman]

thanks for the update.

 

[cranny]

mocked up my front end somewhat. still have to get my rodends. Also getting my rearend setup where i want it. How do you all like the wheels i got for $20 a set?

 

[cycledog]

Great snag on the wheels. Those will be perfect for some tall skinny tires.
That is really coming along, do you ever sleep?

 

[cranny]

tacked in my lower bars of my triangulated 4 link.
