Who want words ???? not I

 

looks like you're on your way somewhere.... what's the future bring?? custom? V8? stock?

 

i have a 59 235 that has been rebuilt 9ta 1 compression with a patrick f-290 cam along with a clifford 6=8 intake with a holley390 and cliffords split exhst,have not fig out what am going to do for mufflers yet
as for body extend the 1/4 add a cont kit ,smooth out the hood ,few other thing as i go along
oh and i have a 53 grill i might mold in and use the 55 caddy front bumper
one thing for sure i need it lower alot lower

it will be along time befor the lower half gets painted but the roof will be flaked out should have that soon so said a buddie from chicago

 

i have always liked those chevys. glad you are sticking with a souped up six. looks good!

 

Looks good

 

thanks guys i know i want to stay with the 3 on the tree not many people know how to drive them but i dont know if the stock gearing can keep up whats evey on think???

 

..........Will look great when done.......Glad you have a plan.....Keep us posted.....

 

I always liked those Chevy coupes with its long ***. Nice project.

 

i got a text from my buddie in chicago and it said the flake should be here tomorrow cant wait to see what color he sent

 

Looking good !!!! Tom (Tired Old Man)

 

I kind'a have an affinity towards these cars.....

 

aghhh a big word AFFINITY
what carb you got on that ?? it looks really nice whould love to see a vid of it

 

not much new but my local buddie found me some 14inch steelies and along with that come a late 70s elco rolling frame . so what am thinking is sub frame and rearend swap the thing is the rear end off the elco is coil and the 52 is leaf ...

the front is fine i can manage that as i did a few sub frame swaps before .
i never played with is the rearend
chould i make some trailing arm that bolt up to the stock front leaf monut and then make a crossmember to mount the upper trailing arms ????
then ether swap the ****** to a t-5 or take it down to a local drive shaft shop and let them fig something out?? with the stock ******
keep in mind i want to keep the 3 on the tree

any and all help is thanked
