I started this job for a customer it is a 64 Skylark. Going with the Pro-Touring theme it will get a 455 with a 5-Speed and a 9" Ford. Ride height will be 6" The car is really nice for a ragtop the floor is solid.
The wheels are from Billet Specialties they are 17x11 for the rear and 17x8 for the front.
The coil overs are from AFCO with Air Ride Strong Arms.
I'll post some more pictures later
Looking real good...one thing my square doesn't have is your standard frame...
someday I will take it all the way down...
Oh yea more pics to come...as always, stay tuned
Blue...
I would do tube frame in the square back
I'll be posting pictures tonite the frame is looking good
Making room for the coilover shocks took up a bit of metal. Did you have any metal fatigue on cutting it out?
yeah it was braced up whoa how that she get in there
it's not the best picture but you get the idea.
Then it was covered with one piece.
I think it's the shirt It is camo so you really don't see her.
U painting or powdering the frame? Got my 47 chop down to bare frame today. Deliver to powder on Saturday. Shops so damn busy 1st time Ive got to screw with my ride in 3 or 4 months. What are you actually driving around these days? -=Amos
Man Amos the guy wants it painted so I'm going flat black
Here are some more pictures of the front end. I don't want to make weld everything up just yet. The ride height is 6" so I want to make sure that the tires clear.
The rear is a 9" Ford The coilovers are AFCO The springs will be black.
So today the body was dropped on the Chassis for mock up the wheels need to be centered. It is 6" ride height
Did you have mock up wheels or do you have the final wheels to test rolling height?
Man thats lookin' great...any idea of final color/interior...
Artist rendition?...
I build alittle different than most I set my ride height then make everything fit. So that is ride height when it is done. It will be so cool
Here are some more pictures for you guys. We put the body on so we could square everything up. The rear suspension will be a 4-Bar with coil overs
You can see here the frame was cut and a new kick up is being put in a piece of 1/8" plate was laid in to hold the new and old rail together. The gussets are 1/4" there will be plate on both sides. Then it will be ground smooth.
As you can see it is starting to look pretty crazy. The back of the frame rail will be the stock ones this way the gas tank will fit. Not to mention the bumper brackets will be in tack.
