Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
I decided to paint the calipers interior blue
That should really make them pop!

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
Then we assembled more stuff on the engine
The chrome alternator went on We painted the dipstick blue, and put a fancy vintage air manifold on the AC compressor Then we took it off the stand and coupled the transmission

We then put the drivetrain in the chassis
The drivetrain is even at the proper 4 deg angle!

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
And prepped the cab for mockup (this includes drilling the mount holes)
Monday we will mock up the cab, finalize positioning of the drivetrain, build the motor mounts, fabricate the Transmission tunnel, and measure for driveshaft length

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
Ok, I'm sure someone will not like that we are off topic on the build, but I'm still chuckling about that Monday comment.

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
Here’s the engine shot of the chassis
we took apart the rear brakes to inspect them. The right rear wheel cylinder is blown and leaked brake fluid all over the shoes, ruining them We started out to undercoat the whole frame, but ran out, will pick some more up tomorrow Got the modified Transmission crossmember tacked and ready to seam weld tomorrow

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
It is coming together nicely.
How did you bend the tranny cover? Also, what brand of wheels are those?

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
8man-I used a piece of 4” PVC 2' long to form the tunnel.
The wheels are Boyd Coddington

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
Thanks. Old fashioned ingenuity on bending that roll for the tranny cover.

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
Looks like you and the guys are working well together. Things are moving.
If you don't mind, I'd like to see the AC hose routing from stem to stern. I did the Vintage Air on the 48, but don't really like the hoses running through the firewall and was thinking about something like what you are doing for my 54.

Re: 1950 Chevy 3600 Woody R
What unit are you using, and I see the lines going through the side to get inside the fender, but I've never seen how they get mounted and run back through to the compressor and the coil.
