Here's some pics of the 27

Moving things around for the winter.

Very nice ride, you should be proud.  Love the wood work.

Hey thanks, we did it 7 years ago mortise and tenon construction covered in marine spar varnish.

It's held up well.

It has a 4.3 and a 700r4 from a astro van. Works great and was free when I took the van into get crushed.

A lot of us are taking the wood out of our old Chevys, you put more back in  .  The suicide doors is a nice touch.  Must get a lot of looks when you're out cruising.

lowride... your 27 must sure be an attention getter. Your craftsmanship is obvious in all the fine details. What's going on with the 32 that's lurking in the background?

Hopefully I'll be making some progress this winter. It not going to be as nicely finished as yours.

I replaced the wood that was bad with wood from a tree that shaded the garage I started fooling around with as a kid.

It has a Surban 5.7  with a marine intake, a small cap hei, short water pump and pulleys. Fresh oil and paint! I had a baby hemi but I backed out of that, I have less in this assembly than I would of had in a gasket for that thing.

700r4 overdrive makes driving so much nicer.

I want to drive this thing to the Lone Star Round up in Austin. One of these years. It's the most fun I have had at a show.

Here's the lights I got today. I do have new bumpers in my closet.

I got the 34 taillight stands today. Spent a few hours making them match the curve of the fenders.

The bottom of the stands will have to be built up with weld to match the 32 taillights

In the picture is the Oneida modified for the pass side, a stock 34, and the speedway 34.

After grinding to fit the fenders I drilled and taped the stands so I could bolt them to the fenders.

This hole will be where the bigger hole for the wiring will be as I progress. The reason I did this was so I could make adjustments later on.

You can see the 1950 trunk latch on the deck lid. I have been working on installing a modern latch.

Looks good, nice work!

logride..... I think they will really look great. Most people don't realize how much time and effort goes into modifying a component to make it fit correctly and become something that is unique and one of a kind. Keep those pictures coming!!!  Oh by the way...I'm getting pretty good as standing on my head

This is the 32 on the way home the day I bought it.

Not much to look at.

[TFoch]

It's come a long way.  You should be proud.

Hey thanks, when I bought it I thought it was just too cheep and if I could get it where the doors would swing I might be able to make some money.

That was the lie in my head to justify it. I'm on my 3td period of working on the car. Life and projects around the house have interrupted its progress like the challenges that everyone has.  But it's starting to look like it might not get sold as a project.


Yesterday I saw a 32 advertised that had been streetrodded. So I called the guy knowing that he must have some parts left over.  He sounds like a nice guy and says he has a small pile of things.

I'll post some pics if I get anything.... And I'll take the pics on the floor so you can't tell if they are upside down.
