A little info on the current project:
1955 Chieftain 2-dr Wagon
- .30 over 428 (Thanks to Brewster for selling me the 428)
- Muncie M20 4-speed
- C4 front and rear suspension grafted onto wagon frame
- Paint will be left as-is for now, but may change after up and running
Last night, test fit the body back on the frame to check for fit and/or interferences. A couple areas of concern but nothing major. While body is on the frame, will measure and mark additional areas of firewall that need to be trimmed for clearance and for symmetry. Setback for the firewall will need to be in the neighborhood of 4”. Also installed, with some modifications, the 57 Chevy brake/clutch pedal assembly and test fit the new tilt steering column to figure out the connection between it and the C4 intermediate shaft, which turned out to be fairly simple.
