A few more photos of the subtle body mods flipped the bumpers moved them closer to the body and smoothed up bolt holes and had to build new bumper brackets witch i made light weight and also new valance panels and i built a complete belly pan under the rear of the car to clean up the bottom of it and the rear wheel well area.

[64duece]

Project is coming along nice. Good work!

[G-Body]

Thanks guys should have my engine back pretty soon from the engine builder!
And yes it has been a ton of metal work in this ole hot rod but has been pretty fun to work on so far the front clip is taking forever with all the tilting and smoothing done to it,
And the body panels and gaps where terrible on the orginal cars so making them just right and getting it all mocked up then i can bust the body back off the frame and start smoothing it up!
Heres a few photos of where im at now doing a little work to get the rockers the way i like them so still at it i'll keep you updated later George

Thanks starting to make some progress finally! Like to have the body back off the frame this summer so i can get it smoothed and in in paint aswell.

[G-Body]

Short block is back And i through some old parts on the top end too finish some mock up, have to address some rocker panel work pretty minimal and get the rest of the doors and panels etc. all gapped and adjusted, but motor turned out nice and i did get my alternator mounted down low i like i wanted, being they dont make right side low mount alt. brackets i made my own and and the cars running solid motor mounts so i was able to mount it off the frame aswell, so far so good! i'll keep you posted.

It looks good going back together.

[andrew5]

great colors!

[GregWeld]

Great project..... and super nice work!



I sure would have liked to have seen some gussets on that rear back half to frame connection point though. That's a lot of tire and motion going on for two boxed welds to hold. Just sayin'...

I see a gusset (triangulation) coming from the area of the four bar attachment out to the perimeter frame? Isn't that where most of the load/force is?



Jeff-

[GregWeld]

I'm not a suspension or chassis guy --- and I see the gusset you refer to.... but I'm thinking there's a lot of load on the 2X4 chassis where it's narrowed and attaches to the main frame. Only thing holding that entire back half ---- the weld to the main frame - and that's also it's narrowest point. May be that it's just perfectly "more than adequate".... I don't know.

[Vince@Meanstreets]

I agree, most frames built like this are tied into a very extensive cage network. Rotation is going to twist the rear section quite a bit.

Great looking frame. Do you have any pictures of the prep work being done. Must have taken days.

[G-Body]

Thanks guys sorry its been awhile since ive been on to post.
Have been playing a lil catch up ,
since the frame has been done I decided with the frame looking pretty smooth was time to smooth up the bottom of the car thus been at that and working on the body getting it ready for paint.

As for the frame what was done is the orginal main rails of the frame actually going into the rear boxed area of the frame and are welded inside and out to really tie it together and used a strong v shaped gusset to tie together as you see and then I welded up the end caps to finish the boxed look to the frame and even added a number 48 from an old liscense plate to give it a lil style lol
Sorry for the lack up of updates ill try and keep you updated projects coming along pretty well getting really close to paint.
