Re: Project 7deuce
I got all the front end stuff done and back together and had a few steering issues to deal with but as xxl says nothing a little grinding cant fix and you can see why I need new lower u-bolts. I powdercoated the a-arm nuts with my new eastwood kit...

Re: Project 7deuce
I decided everything on the firewall had to go so I broke out the welded and metal working tools and got to work ... Little advise the top gutter fill is a pain in the azz I cannot believe how long it took.

Re: Project 7deuce
Even with all the cussing about sanding and welding the firewall it sure turned out killer... And I got my new pulleys,new oil pan,new timing chain and dipsticks on and I thought it was going back in for good but its been out a few times since.cover

Re: Project 7deuce
Amen on how long it takes to shave the firewall and cap the channel. Hours of welding and grinding, the your result looks good. I still have a lot more welding and grinding, then filling and sanding to go. The look is worth the work. Good Job!

A shot of the painted tranny and the summit tranny pan along with the lokar kick down set-up. My new lokar dipsticks installed... Bought all this stuff from summit when I went to hot august nights I think it was called peer pressure..

Re: Project 7deuce
I cut the inside of the bed to make way for the future wheel and tire combo and finally installed my new intake (from mike nutt thanks.)and new valve covers. When I tried to install the carb the fuel outlet ran into the side of the valve cover so it looks like I ll have to look at other options.

Re: Project 7deuce
Got my notch built and welded up. I f I had to do it agian Id just order the countoured notch as doing it this way is a pain but I thought it would be easier ya right. I have to go back in and final weld the notch and make my boxing plates and make sure everything is safe. For some reason in the pics the notch holes that I cut look huge but they are really pretty tight on the notch.
