My '54 Commander

Nice, I'd like to see more pics as well.
A number seem to be deleted.

The driveshaft was made up new.

[johnod]

That looks real good.
I'm guessing your rear footweels have been removed looking at those mufflers.
I really like that rear crossmember too, is there a bottom half to the loop?
What is the rectangle ahead of the muffler on the pasenger side?

I look forward to seeing the body on, and more pics

I had clearance issues with my '53 and had to mod the tunnel a couple times for clearance. I would have liked a stepped diameter shaft but nobody I talked to could make one.

What is the rectangle ahead of the muffler on the passenger side?

Looks like trans. cooler.

I too vote for more, detailed chassis pictures if you can!

[Bob54]

A Few More

Yes, it is a transmission cooler. Here are a few more pics. Sorry if I posted duplicates.

[Bob Andrews]

Excellent! High quality work. Thanks for the pictures!

Please do keep us updated with lots of pictures as you progress. Lots of good information for those of us still planning!

Bob, you should have some bracing on that lower control arm mount, that long tube at the rear needs it.
They should have sent you some gusset plates with the kit.
If not you need to make some.

Thanks johnrod,
Will look into that tomorrow...just got back from skiing in the Sierra. Thanks for the advice, It is Always Welcome.

Bob, Check out this thread, some good ideas/advice. I'm going to be installing another brace on my own susp after reading this thread.
