Looks like some good work there!!! Nice shape on the tunnel!

Making smoke!

We have made lots of progress in the last couple of weeks. The body is bolted down, the rear brake lines are done, the master cylinder is mounted and working and now it drives.

The exhaust is a lot quieter than I was expecting!

That's a great milestone to get it dirveable. You probably have a list of things to change after the test drive, eh?

Not too many,
Lube the leaf springs so they don't squeak.
Find another rim for the drivers side front it's bent.
Hook up front brakes (rear brakes won't be enough at speed).
Work on carb.

Our too do list is still quite large though. Lol

Good to see it rolling. Thanks for the update.

 

[Dirtyrat]

Definitely cool to see it driving!
Already up to shenanigans blowing through stop signs!

What is the front wheel originally from? Do you have a line on a replacement?

If it is a 17" Dodge Brothers (5x4.5 bolt pattern), I may be able to help.

The front rims are 36 or 37 chevy 17" 6 lug artillery wheels.

Thanks, Jeremy

Interior

2" of foam, some 3/4" plywood, staples, glue and a Mexican blanket make a pretty nice interior.









I also managed to get a title on it in my name, now to insure it and register it. A little more brake work and some wiring and we'll be ready for Beatersville.

It doesn't take a lot of money to build a cool hot rod when you are creative. The blanket is just right for the car.

Love the car! Great ingenuity...

 

[Flipper_1938]

I just saw it in real life. It is a pretty neat little car.

 

[Loveall]

Almost done!

Sabastian doing his thing!







We have also got the lights, front brakes, shocks, guages and speedometer hooked up. Its more fun driving it than it was building!
