Today i made some progress on de rear end,one side is allmost done.

 

[ratdog]

Nice work,looks very solid.

 

[Cookie's Customs]

Made a little progress tonight,the rear end need still some work but I could not wait any longer ...........she is back on her wheels[cl

 

[wendle]

Nice work. Rear spring hanger turned out real good.

Nicely engineered frame. I like the trunk in the back myself.
It's got that old car look and it would be useful.

 

[Cookie's Customs]

The plan is to put the body back on the frame and do the chop first, than look if it necessary to cut the trunk out.
The way it looks now I don't like it but maybe with a chop it looks different,time will tell

This is a REALLY unique car and I'm enjoying your progress. Thanks for taking the time to share your pics with us.[P

Are small block chevy engines fairly easy to come by in Europe? I've always been curious about that...

Your craftsmanship so far looks topnotch. Keep up the good work.

Regards,
Shea

Yes, they are very easy to come by.
For about a 750 euro's you allready have one.

front end kinda looks like a rubber ride set up like for trailers

 

[Cookie's Customs]

Its not a rubber ride setup there are springs and oil inside.
Chevrolet had a simular frontend around the same year its called a dubonnet suspencion

Today I had a day off so I spend the whole day in the garage
And this is today's result.

I completed the rearend today

And I did put the body back on the frame
Now it sits on the frame like this I am getting second thoughts about the whole fenderless idea,I think fenders would look quite nice too

Today I chopped the roof 4inch at the front and 2 inch in the back.
I didn't want to cut the roof down the middle so I shortened the body 2 inch.
Let me know what you think.

 

[Cookie's Customs]

This is how it sits now

Only a hot-rodder would understand why that would be easier, LOL!

I think I agree with you on the fenders. There's something to be said for full fendered, modded, patina'd 'rods!

Great to learn you guys think its going the right direction.
