Quickchange almost completly put together

I worked the other day on getting my quickchange assembled. I got all new bearings and races and it went together really well. I just have the seals at the end of the housings to put in and the double nut for the pinion. Then its final assembly and getting it back in the frame.

Clutch pedal and linkage figured out on the 32'

In order to get the arm for the clutch to line up with the clutch pedal I had to move it away from the transmission. So I had my machinist buddy up the street make me the extension sleeve with a brass bushing. Then I welded an arm to it that bolted to the side of the transmission so that it would support the end of the shaft. Finished it all up and it works great!

Flathead is mounted in the 32' frame

I got the the clutch all put together and the transmission bolted onto the engine today. Then I was able to get the engine and trans into the frame.

Then I took my new set of braided spark plug wires and got them attached to the distributor. I plan on running the original style tubes that the spark plug wire will run inside of. That will clean the wires up a lot better.

Installing rear boxing plates

I got the boxing plates back from the laser cutter today, and started getting them tacked in place.

Front end is back on the 32' frame

I started bolting the front end back on the 32' frame last night.

Brake lines are in the 32' frame

I got the brake lines back in the frame now. Its fun to see parts going back on for the last time.

32' frame cut and buffed

I got the frame for my 32' sedan all cut and buffed today. Its amazing to me how different the lacquer black on the outside frame rail looks than the single stage modern paint on the inside looks. The lacquer is so deep and looks wet compared to the modern paint.

Starting to get ready to box the plymouth frame.

I got the frame locked into my frame rack at the ride height we want in respect to the ground. Now i'm getting the front and rear sections ready to box. I made the first pattern for my boxing plates on the drivers rear. I'll take that pattern and scan it into the computer and then make a cad drawing for my laser cutter to use.

 

Frame completely painted

I got the inside of the frame painted the other day. Now I can finally start bolting things back together for hopefully the last time.

32' Frame Rails Painted

I got the frame rails painted black lacquer today. Next ill mask off the outside frame and spray the inside with a modern single stage paint to protect it more.

Starting on the suspension

I got the body pulled off of the frame on the Plymouth. I'm going to start preparing for the installation of the suspension. Ill need to lock the frame into the frame rack, and box some of the critical areas.

Plymouth passenger front fender finished!

I finished up the passenger front fender today. I'm super excited on how well the fender turned out. It looks like its brand new!

32' Sedan Frame Has Primer.

I finally got the outside frame rails sprayed with primer. Now I have to block them out and get it painted.

We bought a near perfect original grill on ebay. It came today...wow such a nice piece. Actual origal paint!

Brass looking electric fan.

I got my electric fan the other day for my 32' sedan. I didn't want it to stick out with it being black plastic. So I painted and antiqued it to look like brass. Now it blends into the radiator a little better.

32' sedan frame ready for body work & paint.

I got the frame mounted on two engine stands so I can do the body work and get it painted.

Passenger side spare tire hole all patched up!

I finished up on the patch for the spare tire hole. Im super happy with how well the patch panel blended into the  surrounding fender!
