zaina Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Finally getting back to building after taking four months off. I'm building the highboy version with the deck lid cut out and replaced with the louvered one from the 32 5 window kit. I also redid the coil overs to make them more realistic. Paint is Detriot diesel alpine green.
Quick GMC Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 What did you use for the coil springs, and what did you paint them with? I am doing the same build, and did the same thing with the shocks. I used solder for the coils and wasn't sure if they would hold paintbuild is looking good so far.

bobthehobbyguy Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Nice work. Great start. Beautiful job on the coil overs.
zaina Posted September 24, 2016 Author Posted September 24, 2016 Got back on this one. I'm trying to finish it for a show next weekend. Engine is done. I had to strip the chassis cuz I wasn't happy with it. Hope to have it painted in the next couple of days.
adamelvis Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Great choice on the coil overs ! This is gonna be a nice Rod. Cheers.
afx Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 I like you fuel block setup, very similar the what Shelby ran on his Weber feed 289s
Mr. Metallic Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Really digging this build. The nailhead looks great, and the coilovers are a big improvement. Looking forward to what other tricks you have up your sleeve.
