Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

that things pretty sick looking cant wait to see more done!

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

sand blasted floor - welded some metal in --- brused on some rust killer then undercoated--


i had to modify the frame so the 24's no longer rub

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

thats a bad ass idea u have goin.. i had a 97 crn vic p71 packaged too.. prob w ur hood cut out, u can fab some metal in like th 4x4 guys do.. kinda hump th wheel well look..man this is sick..

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

crazy... reminds me of the never ending FrizzleFry C5 vette/c10 truck hybrid project.

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

the 4.6 isnt anything pretty to look at so the cut out hood was a after thought... originally i was gonna have the grille with 6 inches of hood and fenders mounted out front and have the motor all open. so that i could see all of the 24's
im going to take prob 4-5 inches of metal and trim the edges to make it look more finished---
it was too dang hot this last weekend didtn get alot done-- im welding up the holes in the firewall right now-- i guess ill just make new holes where i need em to run the 40lbs of wire that needs to go back in it for the computer and fuel injection etc

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

This is cool...you running back fenders of any kind...it would look cool if you rasied tha box alil & used something like a trailer fender ..

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

heres what has inspired this build the open wheel look , but since im 6'11" i need to fit and i want my wife and daughter to be able to ride too ..

im leaving it open wheels in the back too and will piece it in so that it forms to the frame--- right behind the cab i prob will build a step or something to make it look more finished.

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

heres my open wheeled rat rod i just finished and sold
model a 454--9 inch --air ride chassis---

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

heres the pics

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

that is sick...

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

Cool project, and another cool one you just sold. What was that coming off the engine into the body through the roof? Just an old sickle for looks?

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

You know how rat rodders use skulls etc ? For the shifter
i thought a scythe would be meaner and badder than the normall skull shift knob , so i used a scythe, was to heavy for the shifter so i used it for a e brake handle check out the tlamp i used old street sign i filled with 12v leds and had trhe brake light hooked to the hand , when i parked it i turned on the green guy... Ok i need to focus now on chevys lol this is a chevy forum

this rat rod was built ford tough with chevy stuff --if i use a ford motor in a chevy whats the slogan there? Built a chevy with some other stuff?

firewall cleaned up smoothed out , jambed blue , column mounted in , . wire hareness plugged in , wow lots of wire time to do a wire tuck. mounting the booster an d pedal next , trying to make this look nice!!

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

more! more! :lol:

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

i drove it out of the shed on its own power, ive kinda been slacken on working on it. i coach my daughters basketball team that takes up alot of my free time

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

Man this looks way to familar!!! How did you get it to sit so low? Channel the cab? I dont see your cab mounts either.. Curious how you did that too.. Oh and did you use the Ford wiring harness?

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

I used the chassis 97 crown vic , i used all the wiring clipped off all that was not needed and tucked it under the dash , its not channelled , i took out the coil springs, im bagging it --- so its sitting dropped postion --its pretty darn low considering i have 24's on it

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

Ok, that explains it. I am about to start a similar wiring nightmare. Its amazing how the caprice and crown vic chassis are similar..

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

It wasnt to bad -- i had the wire all laying loose cut the whole body off left just the cowl and dash --started it up one more time before i unplugged it all -- then plugged all back in and started looking at things like power windows ahhh chop that etc and kept cleaning it up shrink tubing the ends i cut, will be funny if i ever have a check engine light and have some one plug into the obdii connector and tell em to punch in a 97 vic police car lol

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

Yep, I thought the same thing with my project.... You might get stranger looks then I will... Especially from die hard Chevy and/or Ford fans that cringe at the site of a Ford engine in a Chevy...

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

Last year i bought 2 crowns one was 1400.00 the other was 350.00 one was a car one was a tooth , the tooth was 1400 oww. Im making something cool looking and im not gonna have 20k into it

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

OK, I give up what is a tooth??

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

a crown for my tooth in my mouth was 1400 you would think a car would cost 1400 and the tooth 350, thats just wrong!!!

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

Sorry I am slow... Well it is gonna be a sick ride.. Love the roadster approach...

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

Very cool vision and progress. :metal:

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

I like it!! How much did it shorten the wheelbase?

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

i havent measured the wheel base yet , but my box is cut down to i think 5 feet its quite a bit shorter--- the cop car chassis had a 4 link allready so taking the coils out dropped here right down--- i have rear bags in , need to get some shocks in -- and i can stick the box on and work on that next

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

Did you see this on the pic page??

http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...07362&page=189

Looks like some inspiration. Take a look of that frame. It sure looks like a wide body car frame of some kind.

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

nice rat rod :)

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

air ride is in !!! im doing the front shocks next ,

the box is bolted on

i welded some new metal on the sides of the box

i still need a new tailgate this one is beat up

ill drive it soon!! tail lights,, headlights, fan shroud, i think if i can get it driveable , i will be very motivated to get teh body work done and painted!!

after i mow the yard , fix the deck ,... you know all that other stuff

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

I totally understand all that other stuff. I am lucky to get 2-3 hours a week now.. Lookin good though. You really cleaned up around the engine..

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

thanks!! lots of welding and grinding on the firewall , im trying to make a nice fun driver, car showdriver worthy but not trailer queen worthy. im not in to trailer queens, i want something different then every one elses. im prob only 1350.00 into this right now yes less than 2k in parts

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

glad to see you back @ this..i love stuff like this,,

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

i sprayed some enamel on it so its one color --- im thinking as a winter project really go after the dings etc and then base clear it , i still need to finish the hood

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

i made a tail gate tooo , i chopped the ends off my beat up gate welded 2 steel pipes in then covered it with some sheet metal and spot welded it i think i spent 50, bucks on materials i could have bought one for 225.00 repro, but i wanted a smooth one any way's and i like to build things

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

i did buy some carpet on ebay for like 144.00 i think my grand total in parts and supplies on this project is up to 1600.00 !!!! so laugh heckle jab i dont care this project will turn a profit if and when i sell it . my last truck i had 1000 hrs of labor and alot of money sold that one for a a huge loss. at 3950.00

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

Awesome progress. Nice to see fresh ideas.

Re: 60chevy 4.6 police interceptor chassis
 

i think a person can have a restored original truck thats cool for some, but for me yes!! i like head turners, something thats not seen every day.
