Looks like you have a great project going. I really like those valve covers. Keep us posted on your progress and remember lots of pics.

What kind of bender is that next to your compressor? Do you use it for much? I have a Hossfeld Bender that is collecting dust - wish I could utilize it more.

Cleaned the shop today to get it ready for the fun to begin.

I guess i could start tearing the front end off for access

That bender is really nice, I have only played with it, i also bought a tube notcher at the same time.

I am going to build Two Hot rod frame's, after the truck Build.
I also have a 29' T-bucket, steel body & the 58' Vette.

The Hot rods I am going to build, First one will have a very short frame, with a Chevy 250 h.p. 4.3L v6, Radiator in the rear, I have a 72' Complete Corvette IRS.
Key is Short and Light. Narrowed Corvette rear and front suspension. Weight Goal on this is 1500-lbs or less, frame tubes will also be doing double duty as the cooling tube for the rear Radiator

Both will be open Hot Rods

Other hot rod is same concept short and light using a two wheels in front probably either 195-205, and one 275 single rear tire shaft drive, 130 -140h.p. 6 speed trans about 1100lbs, power to weight ratio should be excellent. throttle steer/drift should be easily done

If i have time i may take a picture of that engine trans setup.

If i can remember to i will get a few pics of under the hood for the before pictures
