Some more pics: Started cleaning up the engine, and finished putting all the trim and interior in. Fully operational and on the road now:
At some point I will pull the heads, intake and exhaust and paint them too. I used the same color as the body. I was going to use the correct green color, but decided on something a little different.
Here is the engine before:
And after a few hours with the wire wheel and sandpaper and lots of elbow grease:

Small world, huh?!

you should see what a go-kart tire does...more lateral gs are applied to a go-kart tire, its pretty amazing, or look at a launch on a drag car.

I've seen kart tires pop off the bead....no fun, esp. since they tend to do it at max G load.

I had all the chrome on my 55 done here in CA (Verne's) and it cost $1000.00
That was for a lot of chrome:
front bumper: 6 pieces
trim under the headlamps: 2 pieces
hood leading edge trim: 1 piece
Headlight trim rings: 2 pieces
Hood wings: 1 piece
Rear Bumper: 3 pieces
As you can see, a lot of chrome to do, and the pieces were not in good shape to begin with.

Just received this a couple of days ago and am using it today. It is great for working on the car in the garage where there is little room to swing the arm of a regular jack. This thing is fantastic!!

I merged all the seperate threads on the same issue. Please don't create threads for the same problem several times in several forums.

F#@% that is beautiful!
I assume that alignment still needs to be done? Front has a fair amount of neg. camber.

I took a while, but I finally got some work done over the Xmas break. Still a few minor things to do, but she is pretty much all there now:

I have a cheapo Harbor Freight chop saw and it cuts perfectly straight!!, even when cutting at something other than 90*. I don't baby the blade either. Once it gets a bite into the metal, I lay into it!

I bet it would be a nightmare trying to get it registered in CA with all the emissions and safety requirements!! Sweet styling though!

Here it is in action:
(BTW, they call them "Pigs" because back in the day, they used tools made of leather and when they went through the pipeline, the leather against the steel made a squeeling sound like a pig)
Here is some background if anyone is interested.
