Hi All, Going to stop with ( new ) detailing of chassis..Have to move on if I am ever going to finish this thing..So far I have :Fuel Line running down frame up to fuel pump / from pump to carb fuel line / and in back from frame to tank. : Brake lines running length of frame. Including Master cylinder feeding splitter in front and a second splitter in back for left and right wheels.. :" Real " Coil Springs on all four corners-with Shocks mounted inside front springs.. : Custom - Scratch Built ( ADJUSTABLE ) Rear Shocks..Had to do that cause Mock up did not sit the way I wanted it to..I guess it would be Air Shocks except I have to remove the body to adjust them.. : Clamps to secure lines to frame and will be Muffler clamps also.. : Emergency Brake Cables left and right. One thing I learned from this work is : Do the preliminary fitting before you paint the chassis..It is " R E L L Y T U F F " to do after painting and requires a LOT of touch up.. Hopefully I can load a pic or two. Sorry to be so long winded.. Comments , Suggestions , Questions are welcomed.. Thanks Tom  |

Thanks Paul.
Yea got a little carried away with the detailing.Nerve racking but fun non the less...
Hey out of curiosity, you wouldn't happen to have a set of Narrow White Wall Tires (like the ones Jbailey is using on his Bird ).
Thanks Tom

Thanks Iceman.
Did a lot of research on line about lines on the 61.. They run inside the rails as opposed to along the out side, made for some very busy areas for sure..

Thanks All.
Comments are greatly appreciated..Still working on the minute ( troublesome ) details.
I got some PE stuff for the first time and MAN is it small,but most of you know that..
Have to give all of you lots of credit for working with that stuff..
Can't believe Ice is done already-that just goes to show what a experienced builder can do.
Cuddo's to Ice for job well done.
Tom

Sorry bout the blurry pics but they are messing with me..can't do more than one at a time.
don't know why..
Carb Linkage does not show up to good in pic but yes it does fit under the Air Cleaner as a Factory unit would . ( That was Fuuuuuuun !!! )
Oh yea that is one of Junkmans Distributor's..nice piece...

Might work..

Nice detail you are doing Tom. The PE parts can be troublesome to work with, but the detail accomplished is well worth the effort. Just keep keeping on like you're doing, because your doing great.

Looking good Tom! FYI, if you want those pics to be gone, just edit the post and delete them. The post will be there but no extra pics. Maybe just put a (.) in there |

Looking good. If you haven't glued the wires into the engine may I recommend trimming them a little or push them in further. They look a but long. But I think it's starting to come together.

Thanks Iceman, No the wires are not Glued yet.. Way to much more detail to do before I do that.. Minus the Black Color for the Air Cleaner -- this is the look I'm after. Just really like the looks of this Huge Monster Air Cleaner.. ( actually the 61 Impala I used to have --Had the same Air Cleaner ) - just like the looks of it... Doing the carb linkage was a real pain with trying to keep it , under and inside the Air Cleaner.. Tom  |

Looking good Tom. I make the wires a little longer for different engines.
So some trimming or push in further like ice said.
That way they will work on front or back mount small and big blocks..
You are doing just fine bud.
