awsome build

I only hope I can some day come close to this kind of work. You are truly talented.

 

[old lady's mad]

first off very nice work. what are the plans for the original body it came in with? with the way it looks in the pics theres not enough room between the round tubes for the trany to come out the bottom, or will the body have to come off to take it out?

Love this build....great workmanship![cl

Thanks guys.

To get the engine and trans out when the car is done. You will just have to pull the radiator and grill shell and pull it out of the front.

here are some pics from today, got the brake pedal/ master cylinder mounted and some head lights mocked up

are you using anything from the original car? i think the only thing i recognize is the rear axle. they should have just got you to build them a car and saved whatever money they waisted on rhe first heap.

the owner says that all the time lol. he even talked to me at an indoor show a year ago about building him a car. the only parts i used off the original car was the rear axle, bags,4-link (had to be modified) front axle and spindles, and fuel cell. all the rest was still in boxs, ordered new, or made in house.

been a while since i had a chance to work on this car. but got the floor skeleton all welded up, and started to make the floor pans

 

[bob w]

Beautiful! What did you use to flange the floor?

 

[cornfield customs]

to get the flange, i used a hammer, dollie and shrinker/ stretcher. that took me a little while

 

[cornfield customs]

worked on the driver side floor today, and tunnel. also made an access cover for the brake master cylinder. the customer wants spider webs everywhere i can stick them. so i added some to the cover

 

[offroadrolls]

Beautiful work!! Will you be covering the transmission too?

 

[cornfield customs]

yea everything will get covered

 

[cornfield customs]

it has been a while since i have had a worthy update. but here is some pics of the floor i have been working on

Hey. Nice work. What's your feelings on those front motor mount setup/ I have heard pros and cons and need some good advice.

 

[cornfield customs]

thanks guys, as far as the motor mounts go, i like them, and i like standard style mounts. i have not had any issues with the front style mount at all. i guess it is just personal taste

Thanks for the info. How does that affect installing power steering,a/c,alternator brackets?
