1930 Chevy

[Twisted Minis]

I'm really not sure on terminology, so I'm not going to try to put it into a category. I'm, just going to build it the way I want to. I've been collecting parts for a while, and as soon as I get the cop car out of the shop I will have enough room to build my frame and get started. So, here's what I have for it right now.

I picked up the cowl and VIN plate. Im looking for doors so I don't have to make them.

I found a complete front end with 4 wheels and tires on craigslist. I know red wheels and whitewalls. They will probably end up black or graphite.

I have a drop axle, and some Super Bell steering stuffed under a shelf where I can't grab pictures.

Got a Ford 9" from a Versailles for free. Guy said he just wanted to see what I did with it. Going to swap the discs to my friend for his drums probably, and I may narrow it because its pretty wide at 63".

I bought a 39 Chevy dash because I thought it looked cool. Not sure if I will use it or not, but its at least cool to hang on the wall.

Wide 5 wheel adapters for the back.

My friend was building a 48 Jeep as a crawler, and decided to part it out instead. I got these re-popped WWII Jeep seats off of him, brand new.

I found a couple of 94s to use.

Throttle linkage, motor mount bushings, headlights..

I have a 72 Chevy inline 250 for it, and a TH350. I got them from the guy with the Jeep. He pulled them out for a big block. So I got some started on a lakes header for it this morning.

Also got some chromoly rod ends for the 4-link and the wishbones.

Thats it right now, but I should be started on a frame in a few weeks.

Nice parts! With your fabrication skills, I'm sure you can make doors if you have to.

 

[Twisted Minis]

Ya I have a bead roller I can make dies for to create the body line if I have to.

 

[Bonehead]

I already had a sneak peek, and I am still looking forward to seeing what comes from all these great parts.

 

[Tripper]

When your looking for doors, include the truck doors in your search. they were the same as the passenger cowl you have.

Yo Seth. What's going on? I didn't know you were building a rod. That's cool. I know your skills so I am definitely gonna keep an eye on this build.

What kind of frame are you gonna build?

 

[24dodge]

Oakland doors will fit , I used them on my `32 pickup , probably wont help you much as they are as hard to find as chevy doors , but you might check other GM doors to see if they might work.

 

[ratterman]

defiantly gonna follow this build. I have watched many of your builds over at s-10forum so I'm sure this will be one nice rod with your fabrication skills.

 

[Coffinmaker]

Where..?

Where did you get your headlights from..? If I may ask..

Yeah remember when I said I was going to be driving a roadster next year? Lol.

As for the frame, it will be pretty standard looking I guess. I have some 2x3 and 2x4 for the main rails, and will probably run some tube in the center for crossmembers. I want to run a Satchell link out back to match the low roll center of the front.

I got them from The Hot Rod Company.

haha...... I figured you were gonna cut the roof off of Frank.. lol.. Sounds like you got this thing planned pretty good so I'll be sure to keep watching this build.

 

[Twisted Minis]

No, I need something new to drive while I build a new frame for Frank. This is what I came up with.
