Gearhead · ELORA, ONT

Bryan · ST MARYS, ONT

Looks good.

Hate to be the party pooper, but the time it takes is usually about 5 to ten times more than estimated.

Bryan · ST MARYS, ONT

Pugsy I have retired from work so I can now work everyday on the coupe .But I know what you mean I have got caught up in projects before .this will keep me off the streets and out of trouble .hah

Bryan

fatchuk · ST MARYS, ONTARIO

Off the streets ..maybe..Out of trouble ??? I doubt it..nobody works on projects like this and stays out of trouble...especialy OLD cement heads.....keep a pillow on your creeper..Bryan

Bryan · ST MARYS, ONT

Chuck You are right I have been known to get into trouble once in a while . But I can hide in the shop till she cools off hahahah

123pugsy · MARKHAM, ONT

Unless you are me....then its 100 times longer

dualquadpete · BLACKSTOCK, ONT

Retirement helps a lot. If I had still been working the Torpedoback would still be in pieces, & no time for 'road trips" to get parts down south or Summit wknd trips to Ohio. If I was still working I wouldn't have bought the car either,needed a full time job in the garage & this did it!!!! This winter it's 2 lists of things to get done on the 64 Cat. 2+2 & the Torpedoback so I'll have to slow down to make it last!!!

fatchuk · ST MARYS, ONTARIO

If yah need any help ..You know where I am..I just can't help you out of trouble nor can you hide out here if she is looking for you.. smile

Bryan · ST MARYS, ONT

Thanks Chuck went to Ancaster today got there and back and no trouble

Great find! Looks like you are on a good pace to 'gitter dun' for spring? A buddy of mine has been tinkering with a '40 Chev for a few years now- we think it will be good to go in the year 2020!

You just answered my question. I also have a front steer rack, but your spindles look beefier than the TCI 2 piece ones I used. Looks good !!

Bryan · ST MARYS, ONT

fatchuk · ST MARYS, ONTARIO

You sure your gonna be able to wrap the sheet metal around all that stuff your trying to get under it ..looks like it will be full in there..looks pretty biggrin but those fat fender cars just don't look good without fenders and yah need sumptin ta hang the head-lamps from .. smile

Bryan · ST MARYS, ONT

If I measured right it will just will fit Measured before I took the sheet metal off

fatchuk · ST MARYS, ONTARIO

That serpintine system looks like it's gonna take lotsa-room where it comes to those pointy toed cow-boy noses....but looks like your doing some fine good work there Bryan..looks nice and neat and tidy..

The rad was made by AFCO www.afcoracing.com/ and it was purchased from Speedway Motors www.speedwaymotors.com/ I have purchased a lot of product from them and it has been all good .They have a great garage sale section of sale items .

Rick
The rear is a 9" ford with 3:50 gears in it . It was in the car when I bought it . If you have other questions just ask . Rick if you go to this web page it has all the info manuals from 1940 ,1941,1942 as well as many more http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/index.htm

Wow, looking good.

Don't be surprised if you decide to upgrade to a power rack ... I went with a manual, wished I had gone power, sold the car after several years of ownership/driving (not because of the rack) and the new owner installed a power rack so it wasn't just me.

I spy an A/C unit too ... that is something else I wish I had installed when I built it.

123pugsy · MARKHAM, ONT
