Oh Henry!!! J that is...

[gsc]

Still need to drag it home but it's mine, I restored a man's 65 Stingray BMX bike from back in the day for trade for the car, I have had my 74 Camaro project for a couple years but , just wasn't inspired to get it done, so now that is up for sale. I believe the Henry is a 51 sitting on Toyota 2wd truck chassis needs floor pans and a hood but overall I am very excited. Plans are for my 350 that I have had forever freshly rebuilt 4 Bolt main steel crank 10.5 -1 hot rod engine and a t-5 5 speed eventually get a posi for it.

Those Henry J's are cool they were great "Gassers" BITD !

Gonna try to do a 60's era build (less straight axle) to many curves where I live, already have a Dixco tach coming, along with my finned aluminum valve covers, also picked up an original dash mine is missing. Biggest dilemma is to cut the wheel wells or not?

One piece at a time..

Very impressed with these, deciding red between the fins or coppertone.

Not to bad a trade.

Great gasser material there! Sears re-badged and sold them under the Allstate name.

You're right, still working on getting rid of the Camaro, may be trading it for a boat.

Now I have to ask, what bike is in your avatar pic? Looks really cool.

Well, got it home, found a hood a mile and a half from my house at the wrecking yard (miracle) and I have a new welder..

Got the short block back from the machine shop.

Shortblock looks nice! Frame looks very similar to a Luv or Isuzu. It looks like the motor mounts will be fairly easy to modify. Torsion bar front suspension makes it tough to run long tube headers, fenderwell headers might be the way to go on this one.
