After this I need to get my car back, then it's back to regular life for me.. I don't know how film crews do this as a living.
i agree, i always wanted to try it since moving to the area, and now that i have, i have no urge to go back. they promised us filming to 4 am or so, got there at 7 pm, no filming until 1 am and was filming until 6 am, left at 730 i think. I think the only reason they stopped then was because the sun was coming up. that crap is for the birds.

Lol. I was up for 23 hours yesterday, slept for 3 and up for another 13 so far today..
Last nights filming was cool.. interior club.. CRAZY scene!! I wish that place was real!
I did not sign up for tonight or Monday. I don't know how the crew does it.

I have been working on the wifes car and not my own lately, but last week I picked up some front end chrome off Craigslist.. Not perfect but a LOT better than what was on there before!! Just need to find a grille now

In 6 weeks it will already have been a year since I picked this one up!

Don't want to forget about this one. Still have it, just have not been working on it much.
It runs and drives, so it's on the back burner until I get my wifes 56, and my gasser going.

I did do a little bit to it. It had an electric fan that sounded like a small airplane. It was horrible!! I pulled a dual fan setup out of a Mercedes thinking it must be quiet in that car.
I was right. I no longer can hear the fan while driving !! Much better

I also had this nice little scooter park beside me this weekend. Makes me want to build another bike

This one has been feeling neglected. Since it's running and driving I have been working on the other 2 and letting this one sit.

Part of the problem was I was trying to be nice to the neighbors, so I never drove it. Fighting to get it running and playing with the gas to get it to warm up (while being loud) kept me from taking it in the morning. Ran great once warm, but didn't want to take any fuel when cold.

Fixed that problem last week and showed it some love... Picked up a FITech setup, and have driven it to work every day since. Turn the key and drive away. Love it!

Not much to report on this one other than I did get a new wiper motor, so it now has working wipers! Maybe I'll get drisky and give her some heat too.
Just been getting used once in a while

Ok... Made some big changes.. Decided 5 projects were too many at one time, so I decided to sell off a few and concentrate on one or two..

Sold the other 56, keeping this one.

Decided to take the engine out of the gasser and drop it in here and sell the gasser as a roller.

Ok, so I swapped the engine in and just made my car essentially worthless... This engine with this stupid peg leg rearend, I can't give it ANY throttle at all, it just smokes a tire

Good news is wife said to order a drop in 9" for it!!!
She's a keeper!

Ordered up a new 9" yesterday, had them add fill and drain plugs to it, went with a 3.70 gear on an Eaton TrueTrac differential. I also went with an 11" Disc brake set up with parking brake.

Engine revs QUICK!!!!

Engine breakdown. 400ci, Eagle Rods, ARP everything, SRP forged pistons, comes in at about 10.7:1 Roller cam conversion, custom grind Comp Cams cam, Dart Pro 1 230cc heads. I removed the tunnel ram, and sold that since I didn't want the engine sticking out of this hood. I added a Performer RPM Air Gap intake and transfered over the FITech.











I can feel my property value skyrocketing here.. lol

So I put the engine in and made the car worthless... Can't roll into it without blowing off a tire... Definitely need a limited slip... SO I ordered up this for it.

Got the disk brake kit in too, just waiting on the axles. Went with a Eaton TruTrac

Threw the 9" together yesterday, got the old rear end out, put new bushings in the springs, and will throw it back together tomorrow
