I'm very proud to say that I've finally got one of my projects on the road and driving. Want to give a big thanks out to the ACES Club members and some of their significant others for all pitching in to help out during the different phases. I didn't do a very good job of documenting the build but here are some pics from early to now. The tub is a '27 Ford touring car cut down to a 2-seater that came from Sammy. The chassis was a rolling pile of crap I found on Craigslist that required extensive weld grinding and rework. It also had a rat rod suicide perch that just had to get cut off and replaced.
The drive-train came straight from a 1965 Impala I found in Los Angeles with Mickey. A classic 327 with a powerglide linked up on the rear. So far the mill is proving to be reliable aside from a leaking gasket at the rear of the intake manifold. The Firestone Bias Ply's seem to be rolling and stopping straight as well. The only thing it's missing now is some seats and a windshield. To be continued...
Very nice!
