54 Chevy 2 door find

Floors, rockers, and door repair is done, Chop has been done, and now working on finishing the final touches on the roof. It has been several weeks full of fun...more to continue






I will do a tech post on this when all work is complete....

 

Heres a side pic of it when I first brought it home the week after Labor Day.......

 

We'll hold you to that promise! Awesome roof chop, clean. I hope you're going to include lots of before, during and after photos. Cheers

 

Great score. Did you get papers for it? I had a hell of a time with that part.

 

great save glad it didnt get crushed ,

 

Thank God you saved it from getting crushed!

 

Just pushed it outside to clean up the floor a little, thought I would snap some more pic............

 

looking good. Way to keep making progress.

 

Better save than a pro soccer goalie!! Good luck with the project!!~Sololobo~

 

Makin fast progress on this one. What is the rear window out of?

 

Love what you're doing with the hood.... I think I have a full set of window/beltline trim for a sedan that I don't need (my car is a hardtop). I'll see what I've got and keep you posted.

 

Looks like 49-52 2-dr chevy...

Nice chop Shawn. Man the floors sure look better! Now you won't have to stop like Fred Flintstone!

Now to put that thing on the ground! Are you going to bag it?

 

the chop is just right

 

Fatman Mustang II bolt on in the front, 4 inch lowered leafs in the rear. I got a Camaro rearend with 3:42 gears and a posi also for it. Hope is to have it painted by Thanksgiving, susp. change somewhere in a week after, V8 and a Glide before Christams. You know me Bruce, I like to work fast. I need to be driving it SOON ! ! ! ! !

 

Got some more work finished on the Ole Chevy last week, changed the rearend to a 10 bolt Camaro, lowered the rear a little, still not where I want it yet, we just about have the top smoothed to where it needs to be. I took the front end off and took it apart for a good cleaning, and to have easier access to putting the Mustang II in it. I'm also going to give the firewall a little smoothing, and add a power brake system. Heres a few more pics to add........

 

coming along good there Bro., hurry up and lets ride

cool find... what gauage metal did you use i ***ume that's not a floor kit going to make a cool ride

 

No, it's not a kit. All old rusted metal was cut out, floor bracing was fabed in, then everything else was formed. 16 guage metal was used in the floors, custom built bottom of doors (inner and outer), inner rockers, and outer rockers were EMS.

 

Cool!!

 

and of co**** reading all TONY's info on chopping the top on his, is what made me start all this madness....hope it turns out half as nice as his did.....
