Even with all the pieces still off it the car looks awesome! Now for the fun of carefully putting all those pieces together and watching it progress!
The intake looks like maybe CJ will be running off just the two center carbs? Unless the other plates just haven't got holes bored yet?

no its going to run off just the two middle ones, his 34 ford with 6x2's is set up the exact same way and runs great and you dont have to mess with adjusting 6 carbs.


also just made a pass by their house this evening and he wasnt home, but since i have a key i went in and took a look and he already has started putting trim on today

Update:

the side trim is on now and the front end is coming together. still waiting on a few teeth to get back from chrome before it can go back in.

UPDATE: the front bumper had to come off again because we found a big wave in it that the chrome shop didnt get so its back at the chrome shop, but have still been making progress on the car. the grill in now in, as well as the 59 impala roof louver, the tail lights are in, hood hinges are in, also ordered all the glass and the vendor is going to bring it up to the portland swap meet.

ok new update

all the glass in now in and some of the trim around the glass is in. also got the turn signals in. had the hood bar chromed and we got a different one back and the shop has no clue what happened so now searching for another hood bar. also got the motor almost ready to drop in. main thing we are missing is the linkage for all the carbs.













the car is kinda being put on hold because we are getting the 34 ready for the trips we are taking this summer. going to drive it up to Puyallup for goodguys in july and down to the goodguys show in Pleasanton late august. the car will be done though for the roadster show next year.

Finally got a steering wheel for the car! Scored a mint restored 59-60 impala wheel of eBay. Gramps was taking it and the column to the painter today to get it painted blue and white. All the window trim is on and down to very little left on the motor to be ready to slowly drop it in. Mainly working on the 33 and the 34 to get ready for nsra next month.
