it might be an idea to put the old covers on an LS7 as a cover over the ignition and the LS covers not sure if they would cover enough though

This one just might recquire a BEAST of an engine from MAST Motorsports...750hp LS...who knows, but I would deffinately keep all the original stuff also ! I wont do anything to this car that I cant easily reverse !

Lotsa parts-sharing went on across GM labels back in those years.

That is interesting ! I know nothing about these cars...I just seen it and fell in love with it !

I'd heard of these
Dagmar bumpers
Postwar Cadillacs began sporting missile pointed bumper elements with their 1946 models. Beginning with the 1951 models, stylists began lifting these bumper guards up into the grille work, however by 1953 their shape and detail began to take on a bullet motif with the tips of the element being scored in the manner in which a bullet casing is shaped

**67cheby** · 04-02-2013, 02:10 PM

OK I wont convolute this thread anymore back to work on Square Peg tonight , going to the panhard bar put in and work on the front frame horns a little more , maybe make some patterns for the boxing plates

**superflysteiny** · 04-02-2013, 04:30 PM

**67cheby** · 04-02-2013, 04:50 PM

I am on it, I am about 95% done with our move now and ready to get this frame done !

**67cheby** · 04-03-2013, 10:05 AM

back to your normal scheduled program .... I got the Scott's Hot Rods rear panhard bar mounted last night and then started mocking up the front torsion sway bar !

Zoomin · 04-03-2013, 10:12 AM

Stout looking pieces, Mike. That sway bay is something else too - very cool piece.

I am very impressed with the quality / thickness and overall look (the way they machine the ends) and that they are actual threaded links bars.. TOP NOTCH...and that front torsion sway bar is just the cat's meowwww!

RocketKing · 04-03-2013, 10:28 AM

Glad to see your back at it!

BTW, you can move all you want but one day I will eventually find you and get to see Cloud 9 in person.

was going to do 22x12's but there is only 1 tire that will work on them so I am going to do 22x10's with 4 inch backspace

**67cheby** · 04-04-2013, 09:59 AM

last nights progress, smoothed out the power steering mounts, and made boxing plates for the inside

gringoloco · 04-04-2013, 10:09 AM

Slick! Have you thought of running the sway bar through the framerail, instead of below?
