Low-n-Slow 55: Laying the Framework
http://jds55.blogspot.com/2008/06/laying-framework.html
Thursday, June 12, 2008. I took the frame away to get sandblasted, revealing all of the beautiful welds that were done at the factory. Overall it came back in good shape, there are a few areas that will need to be repaired where water has collected and rusted through. I will be welding the entire seam of the 2 piece frame to add a little strength. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 1st Cottage Weekend and lots of New Experiences. Added to the List.

Low-n-Slow 55: Beauty in the ROUGH!
http://jds55.blogspot.com/2008/05/beauty-in-rough.html
Wednesday, May 21, 2008. Beauty in the ROUGH! Compared to the plastic truck I drive around today, I don't. Think there is any comparison. They just don't. Make them like they used too. While the fit and finish is a little rough I will take the style and design of the 50's and 60's any day. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 1st Cottage Weekend and lots of New Experiences.

I will be doing some posting of pictures and comments to get caught up on my 1955 Chevy Bel Air project. I started on the project in the summer of 2006 and have made some good progress.

Low-n-Slow 55: Ride Rite
http://jds55.blogspot.com/2008/06/ride-rite.html
Thursday, June 12, 2008. I was able to get the front clip lined up and welded into place, it was a tight fit but everything seemed to go smoothly. The only modification I made was that I notched out the bottom where the clip meets the frame by about 1 inch. This allows the A-frame a little more clearance on the top of the frame and lowers the ride height just a little bit more.
