Title: 1928 Tudor build
Post by: Jeff73Mach1 on April 12, 2022, 10:04:14 AM

So, for several years Blackwater has been mentioning that I am building a Hot Rod, so I guess it is time to share some progress photos.

1928 Tudor on a double z'ed frame, using a 1989 Corvette front and rear suspension, with coil over conversion and relocated sway bars.

351 Cleveland .030 over, oiling modifications, forged pop up pistons and 4 barrel Open Chamber heads for about 11.75:1 compression, Solid flat tappet cam custom ground.

Long tail shaft toploader, blah, blah blah.  Now onto some photos!

Sorry to be slow to post updates.  The last few months have been busy with family matters.  All is good and I am starting back to work.  There has been more progress, but my camera is kaput so, I will have to update more later.  I am working through the inner body structure and floor at this time.

So I have a question about an idea I have  Would a pusher fan between the AC condenser and the radiator be effective?  I think it could be hidden away pretty nicely.

Anyway here are some photos

So the summer was busy, but the car had to sit, begging for attention.
