Picked this up today not sure where I'm going with it yet but I think chopped, slammed and a blown Hemi. Going to be all new skills to build this one for me so who knows if it will survive or if we will have a ceremonial crushing. lol

Should be fun wish me luck.

Build #3 for me I'm in way over my head. lol

Ok chopped my first top what do you guys think. Did I get the look right or is it still to tall the more I look at it I think it might be.

Playing around with some looks on how to go about this build tell me what you think.

Thanks

Bob

I think it looks good as is Bob. Did you use any 'how to' reference or did you just cut? I've only chopped one top on a '32 and I just cut, It turned out ok. If those are the wheels and tires from the kit they look pretty good and BIG.

Matthew thanks for the input.

Gene I just cut in about the middle maybe a little to the towards the top and then kinda played with the look till i thought is was right, then trimmed to size and glued, never really thought to reaserch that job.

The last set with the rims are from the 68 Hemi Dart, I may steal the Hemi from that or I have an RG Pro Mod motor that I may use. I'm just not sure if I have the skills to put that RG motor together yet.

Agreed

Are you going to channel or Z-frame?

I'm playing with something a little different for that right now I'll let you guys know how it goes after the weekend.

Not quite finished with chassis yet but you can see where it's headed now. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for looking.

Well since I didn't have any 4 link parts, I'm still messing around with suspension stuff trying to figure out what I need to order, to move forward, I decided to add some more details.

Made pedals, and I needed to narrow the seats to have room for the drive shaft.

I'm not sure where this build will take me but that's part of the fun. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for looking.

Bob

Just got the seats cut apart and put back together tonight not much else just some test fitting. Still need to fill the gap in the seats one came out much better than the other.

Thanks for looking.
