My 53 chevy

Scored this one over the weekend.. We pulled the 6 out of it today. Going back in with a sbc, 700 r4, and s-10 4x4 rearend...And of course a chop and lowering..


[

 

sounds like a good plan. looks like a good car to start with.

 

running and driving untill this afternoon...

 

woulda left the six...

 

^ X2, but it's still cool.

 

congrats! too bad about the sbc and s10 talk, but hey-to each there own. sweet car.

 

Inline is not a crime!

 

^^^^^ second that, cool car none the less looks like a fun project, good luck with the build

 

Nice start. my first car was a 53 more door Chev.Tom ( Tired Old man)

 

You'll be glad you did the motor first. I ran my stock 6 for a year. No power and worked on it in parking lots mostly.

 

hahahah that is funny I won the bid on ebay for this car, but then when I went to go see it i decided not to get it. for certain reasons........ good luck with the build

 

getting ready to remove ribs from firewall to fit the v8

 

removed

 

stripped,filled,and primed

 

Looks good, gonna have to watch this one.... be sure to keep us updated!

 

damn, you aren't wasting any time working on the 53.
lot's of good progress!

 

Thanks guys....My main goal here is to get the car running and driving again..Then we will start on the body and get it all primed,all while keeping the car driveable..Lastly we will pull and reupholster interior,chop the top, dissasemble and paint,and put it all together.....Ill keep pics coming,but this one will take a while to complete as we only work on it after hours.......

 

More progress.. Motor mounts and test fit of the engine...

 

are u doing any thing with the steering ? setting still they will make a preacher cuss.

 

Cool 53, Good luck with the Build and never mind the guys on hate on you for a SBC and s10 rear..

 

Looks great

 

Looks like a nice solid car. SBC, 700R4, S10........It's all Good!♦

 

Im gonna leave the steering in it for now.. Down the road I may upgrade to Mustang II, but its not my main concern right now..
