Nice ride you have built for yourself. My opinion is that the 37/8 chevy's are some of the best looking coupes around. I had my 38 at Billetproof, but could only attend on the Saturday and unfortunately I missed a chance to check out your car. Hopefully I will find you cruising around the bay area sometime.
Mine was in pretty sad shape when i got it.it had been burnt and then sat outside for ten yrs. At least i saved it, and i'm having a ball with it!
Congratulation! Just as some of the rest of the guys said, you got one heck of a deal! I bought mine, a stock Master Deluxe coupe, for 5 times what you paid, and it's not in as good shape as yours is. (Mine sat in a barn for 40+ yrs.) You've got the coolest uncle in the world, no kiddin'. Be sure to express your gra***ude...profusely and often. Nice jobe you've done with it. Don't ever sell that ****er...you want to still have it when your an old fart. Not many can do that. Have fun...be careful...ya greaser! BTW, your last name wouldn't be Milner would it? - Rick
WHAT??? the tires are from the 60's??? Seriously Dude.... (yes, I just 'dude'ed you!) Dont risk your life, that pretty girl's life... and that sweet car on 40 year old tires!!! Please tell me I read that wrong!! You got way too a thing going to let one blow out ruin your scene!!
well, they are in really good shape, they keep air for months, and dont go flat, plus theres like no cracks on the side walls, and theres tons of tread on them, and on another note i drove it yesterday and the clutch went out on me, i think it got melted to the flywheel, but it has a ****tershield, so will have to drop the trans this weekend. BOOOOO
Sorry to hear about the clutch.... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get rid of those tires!!! They can let go WITH NO WARNING.... (looking perfect in the mean time!) I had a PERFECTLY good looking 9 year old T/A RADIAL fall apart! BRAND NEW tires that have never been mounted, worn, or exposed to UV light have a shelf life of only 7-10 years!!!! Not trying to 'DAD' you... just looking out for you....
ya, that is probably true, ill talk to my dad tonight about it, but first 1. Clutch 2. Alignment 3. rear and gears 4. tires
