Sent my car out for some more work right after Christmas. Schwab Customs in Langley BC takes care of the things I fight with in my shop and some thing I might be to lazy to do my self. There the ones that did my front clip and rear end swap. Don Schwab is a veteran when it comes to old school hot rod building. His son Dustin is his right had man and some times his left to. I met them in Langley at Tim Hortons Friday night meet about 4 years ago. Don has a 50 shoe box and has just started a 39 Pontiac. Dustin cruzes a 1960 Impala around.
On my last visit they installed my rad and made the front end supports for the Chevy clip to meet the Dodge fenders. The front bumper was also installed and brackets were made to join the old to the new. I supplied them with a pair of Flowmasters and my exhaust was fabbed and installed. Dustin wired the complete car for me and Don secured the fuel cell in the trunk. A custom battery shelf was also made by Dustin but the install is a home work project. Its going to go on the passenger side fire wall . I had to make a bracket for the back side of the fire wall so the bolts don't tear through. All this work gets me closer to driving the Coronet but there is still a quite a lot to do.
I'm going in for shoulder surgery on February 1st so all work on the project comes to a halt for a month or so. I'm planing to devote some serious time to the Coronet when I've had a little time to recover. This time off should give me a lot more time to blog and hunt for cool pics of other projects. So next post coming soon,,,,,I hope! Till then.
