I had a 49 Chevrolet Torpedo Back had it sitting at my cousin's farm and a heavy wind storm took down a tree against the back of the car it was fixable but to send it out wasn't feasible and tge car was out west and I'm out east ended up selling it someone else was going to rebuild it glad to see it going back together it was in the famy since new and nice to see it stay alive .

Great Job! Thank you for the mentions as well. You ran with the idea and made it your own. If i could offer anything it would be keep the bearings lubricated with grease. Ports on side accept zert fittings. For the pins, i bent ( tweeked might be better word) my fenders slightly so when you pull the pin it springs open with no interference. I just use a 3/8" bolt with a long shoulder on my slider brackets for the stop. Works great. If you need any photos or anything else just shoot me an email. Its on my channel in the about section.

Fascinating! I lived in Colton, WA in the early 1980’s and there were a few local guys who were doing this to their 1950’s street rods. I never knew how they did it though so thanks for enlightening me. I have years of experience with linear bearings, use Thompson Linear Lube in the bearings and wipe the ways with WD40. One suggestion for the fender pins would be to use Triumph Spitfire hood latches or similar.

Quain Stott the owner of the South Eastern Gassers sanctioning body has a 67 Camaro with a sliding tilt front end... he used reciever rails which interlocked on the top of the firewall to "catch" the rear of the assembly and linear bearings on the slides along with a door latch under the bumper to release the assembly so there are no pins.
@ThrottleStopRacing2 ай бұрын
BW's Garage used receiver tracks and they stuck out from the firewall. I inverted the Howard bearings to reduce the stuff hanging off the firewall. I could put receiver tracks on the under side of the hood. Something to think about.

What about using electric linear actuators for the pins on the lower rear fenders? If you have a dead battery or actuator failure, you could still gently pull the fender aside to raise the front end.

I would brace the lower fenders & use a homemade "Dzus style" 1/2 turn spring loaded fastener to secure, or maybe there are other ready made similar to what I`m describing. I would also consider a grab point handle for easy leverage when opening or closing as well as a positive "lock open" stop in case of having the front clip open during a wind gust or someone accidentally leaning on it while you`re under it.

I found a clear acrylic hood that was a dealer part to show off the 49 Olds overhead valve Rocket engine that I'm going to use. Those are transfer punches if anyone wants to get some, they are handy for sure. I wonder if 10-24 machine screws are heavy enough to support an entire front end, maybe a weld on each end of the rail, but it looks good. Fiberglass fronts never fit well and are flimsy, but light. Now you need a tow point on the frame. Are you going to paint the car? What color if so?
@ThrottleStopRacing3 ай бұрын
That dealer item must be worth some money. When you say transfer punch are you talking about the center punch? There are 16 hardened bolts holding a 120 hood which means that each bolt is holding 7.5 pounds. I know it is not equal like that when the hood is being opened or closed. I think I am all right with the 10/24 bolts. No tow point, we expect to drive to the lanes and pits. Color, for now the plans are to strip it back to the frame and power coat it green. The body for now will receive a coat of matte clear
