Progress on my AV8 build
Here are some progress pictures of my AV8 build. The red tin on the firewall is the bottom of a cheap wheel barrow. It will need a little more work when I take the body off. The trunk floor worked out good.
Having Ford Flathead fun. Pete |

Re: Progress on my AV8 build
Some more pictures of my build. The chassis is done and the body will go back on this weekend. The pictures show some neat clips for lines and cables and exhaust pipe connectors that I think are better than clamps. Both from Speedway. I ran the engine to set the manifold paint. Right now I am thinking a 2 1/2 to 3 inch chop. I will do this when I am up North for the summer.

Re: Progress on my AV8 build
Very nice... (I kind of like it without the chop also)
Not to take anything away, but it looks like you have yet to put a flex line between the master cylinder and the rear end... You will want to do that. Karl |

Re: Progress on my AV8 build
Karl, The line between master and tourque tube in the first picture is a stainless flex line. I think it is ok but thanks for the advice.

Re: Progress on my AV8 build
Very nice, but I have to also say don't chop it. You have a great looking little car and why would you want to look like everyone else. Just my .02¢, which ain't worth nothin.

Re: Progress on my AV8 build
My AV8 is chopped 4" but I agree with others, I dig it unchopped. You're doing a great job there. This is what a 4" chop looks like......

Neat work, congratulations.
I see you are using the Backyard Buddy jackstands. How do you like them? |
