Trevor G's '53 Update #1

Trevor's Chevy is coming along nicely, MustangII front suspension is installed, the front of the frame is Z'd, motor and 700R4 transmission are mounted and the driveshaft is in, and the steering column has been modified and hooked up to the rack and pinion. Next up is fabricate and install transmission tunnel and driveshaft tunnel and build a new trunk floor. I helped pull out the headliner and glass today getting ready to chop the roof.

World of Wheels 2012, Abbotsford BC

I got to ride shotgun to Tradex in Trevor's '33 in the RAIN!

Drilled

I drilled a set of 1940 Ford backing plates to match a set of 45 fin Buick drums.

Stripes

Finished striping my welding mask today.

Put some lines on my MP3 player as well.

Luke's '65 Falcon

This is my brother's '65 Falcon, he has done alot of metal work on it, but it has been sitting untouched for a while now. We should get going on so it can rip up the streets once again!

With my Buick, I should get it fixed up to.

New badge and locks.

Trevor G's '53 Chevy

Today I helped Trevor put the body back on the frame for his '53. He "C" notched the rear of the frame, put in a "G" body rear end with a triangulated four-link and airbags. He also "Z"ed the front of the frame and will be putting in a mustang 2 front suspension. He did a bunch of other work as well. 

 We got the body up nice and high and slid the frame under.

The body coming down.

A little lower.

Back on the frame and looking good!

Headlights for Doug's Stude

The idea for these lights was to run '47 Stdebaker headlight rings on a '30s style headlight.

These are the parts I started with.

 

I cut the part that the headlight ring mates to off of the original Studebaker headlight flare. The green headlight bucket is from an old ambulance, I cut the front off of it.

Here are the two pieces clamped together.

I didn't take any more pictures until this stage, here they are all frankensteined together.

Here is the finished product, after a lot of grinding, some sandblasting, primer, filler and high build!
