    Posting some photos of my long term chevy project ,trying to get motivated and get this on the road this year. I brought this around 13 years ago in Dublin ,started as a 4 door rust bucket . Was making decent progress then had a motorbike crash mucked me up so put it on hold for a long time.
    My life is getting back on track now so time to finish her ! , so far I have swapped out the 235 for a 62 full pressure from a biscane hurst. Twin Carter webers , split manifolds , discs up front , electric dizzie ,smithys .
    It's a cheap home done job ,never going to be a show car but it's all my own work and not many like it here !

    Looks like its on the road already, but do you need tail lights in Northern Ireland;)
    I'd like to see pictures of the conversion also. Nice job.

    I stretched the doors , not for the faint hearted , it's getting parts here the problem ,also did a flat screen conversion. Towed it to a few things last year , just ordered some lights for her , good thing changed here any car past 1960 no more mot that was a killer for old cars !

    That's cool. We take it for granted how easy it is to find parts here. I bet you had to work twice as hard sourcing stuff. I'd like to see the conversion as well.

    Just when you thought a thread was finished...

    I used to read your write up of progress on this on the Irish Street Rods site back when you were doing the bodywork.

    Great to see it completed and on the road at last.

    I surely like your car. Especially the roof line.
