61' bubble top

[H8MENOW]

Well here is my build up of my 61 bubble top.. It won't be a full blown pro touring car.. But will have a lot of influence... I guess I'm confused, lol cuz my build also will have a lot of "low rod" influence as well. Anyway here's the plan, BBC with FI, custom front and rear suspension, hydraulics, body dropped, custom interior, audio, big brakes, 22" billets.. Hope it goes as planed and hope you enjoy my vision

When I first saw her

Torn done and built up.. Nothing crazy going on inside, just a mild cam.. I'm more concerned with reliability, this car will be built to be driven

Photobucket wants to extract some green from your wallet. Says bandwidth exceeded! Upgrade to Plus.

[ZZ430]

You could switch to Flickr and get 1 Terabyte of space for free. And it's superior to Photobucket in every way.

[H8MENOW]

Thanks for the info... Oh and by the way should have pix of a completed motor tomorrow or Saturday..

[H8MENOW]

Finally upgraded my account..

So here some progress pix..

Before I installed all the pullyies and stuff

I hope to start on the suspension fab at the beginning of March.. I'll be moving into a new house the middle of next month so won't be much progress till the 1st of March... Also hoping to trade my 57' coupe deville for a Baer break front and rear set up, but we'll see what happens.. Fingers crossed

[danhigor]

Subscribed. I am gathering info and ideas for building a early 4 door Biscayne for my family to ride in so I am very interested in your progress.

[gofastwclass]

Cool project. I've got one too and I love these cars. :)

[H8MENOW]

Finally moved and settling into the new place..

It's hard to beat the CPP stuff for the money.

[slammedwhitec5vert]

Subscribed love the bubbletops!!!!

[H8MENOW]

Ordered my intro billet wheels and tires today.. Wheels are 6 weeks out tho :(

[jlcustomz]

Lookin good so far bro. Not every car on here is an all out pro- touring, but I'll bet yours will have enough attitude to make up for that. Nice to see different takes on a build .

The bubble top should make a nice companion for your other bad ass car, you know the one with the cheek prints on the rear window.:yum:

[H8MENOW]

Still gathering parts up... I will taking the car to Oklahoma next weekend for the new new custom frame and suspension

[Zoomin]

Who's doing the work? What kind of frame?

[H8MENOW]

Jake McKiddie in Oklahoma City.. 3x4 reg tube, custom front and rear arms and links.. Running 22x8.5 up front and 22x12 in rear

[H8MENOW]

Well it's been 2 1/2 months, and still no wheels :(

[Zoomin]

The economy must be doing better. I ordered a set of Budniks 8 weeks ago and no sign of them. They must all be pretty busy.

[H8MENOW]

Nick at intro said this is the busiest they've ever been... 150/200 sets ordered a month for the past 6 months.. Or some crazy **** like that

[cutlassmann]

Do you know where i can find that side trim i need the rear fender trim and one door

[cutlassmann]

are you keeping the trim and where can i find that trim?
