i traded my roadster.for the DOLPHENWULF!!

Well i thought i would try to switch up to something more practical for the amount of traveling i'm planning on doing since i moved to tacoma.i got this 53 chevy that had a cool chop,interesting headlights,and a 350/350.good start.the stock suspension and brakes had to go (scary,not to mention the 4x4 stance) first,so i called alex gambino and got a mustang II,and one of his notches.i had bags and a 4 link,so now we got to work.the crew was me,yankeeSOB,and speedy3's as usual.here's some random pics.

 

here's the c-notch that was in it!!! yikes!!!

 

dinner

 

here's the before

 

NICE! I love it!

 

and heres where she's at now...sits much better

 

MMMMmmmmm....................................dinner.

I don't know which is scarrier, the chili dog, or the old c-notch.

The Gambino lookin notch is way more betterer.

 

more pictures please

 

so i still need to rewire it,finish the wheel tubs and trunk sheetmetal,make a new battery tray,and of course get rid of those rear wheel openings.as it is now i would need to unbolt the back bags to remove a wheel.crap.and a bunch of other crap.i will post some more updates as i go...

 

by the way,we thrashed on this car in california,and did the entire chassis overhaul in about 2 1/2 weekends! i will go outside tomorrow and snap some flicks of the bag setup,and some profile shots.

 

Damn Nate didn't know ya moved. Good trade...nice looking car!

 

that car looks real nice. the stance. the color. perfect.

 

MMMM.................Wienerschnitzel. I better not let my daughter see this post or I'll be making the trip for some chili cheese fries. Oh yeah, the car looks good too.

 

Yeah, it was a real pig before. Looks good. I kinda' dig the reworked rear wheel well. Of course, as someone that has experienced the rear tire wrasslin' match on a too low '54 with stock openings, I could see why you might want to change them up.

 

good! i didn't want to be the first one to say those rear wheel openings look like crap on that car!

 

wicked....

I've been thinking of painting my truck that same color but was hitting "painters block" when it came to the roof color. (I thought that all the hammer blue would be way too much) now you got me thinkin black with a silver pearl...thanks for the pics...

 

very nice. I love those 54s

 

looks good nate

 

Nice work,,,it does sit way nicer now...



I have a few more pics of that '53 when it was out here...I'll try to dig 'em up for ya.

How's it ride.......................on the trailer.......hahahaha!!!!
j/k.....never post a pic of yer car on a trailer.....he he he

Looks good!!!!!

 

Damn Nate, loooks great!!

 

man..my roadster had more trailer miles than actual driving miles!!!! haha i would have driven it up,but it was cheaper to ship my bike and my car at the same time!! but i will say this......a properly dialed in early ford straight axle suspension with an f-1 box (on an early car of course)handles twice as good as a fancy mustang II with manual R+P (on a postwar car)...oops-did i just start some crap?

 

haha...probably....
Just noticed you're it T-town.....look forward to seeing yer car around.....

 

Looks good but if you see mine on a trailer call 911 it's stolen. Rags

 

Hey heyitsnate, where in Tacoma are you? I just moved here about a year and a half ago myself. Nice looking ride by the way.

 

Hey Nate... looks good!

BTW, I saw that Sporty in my hood the other day... next thing you know, it's on the HAMB!

Yah, that is a bitchin' '54! Nice job!!
