Customs 53 Chevy Full Custom: A Build Journal

Great build awsome work...Rod.

 

your work has made me begin to reconsider putting air ride in my chevy. really liking the stance and general setup.

 

Still looking good, cant wait to see that dash fit in the cab, it should be awesome!

 

Looks cool. I just cut down a 59 chevy dash for my 53 (still working on finishing it) and had to cut a lot out of the outside and about 3-4" out of the center of it

 

Build's looking great, man. As previously stated, I'm taking a page from your book as far as the suspension on my own '53 - I'm looking at Jamco for my front suspension; what springs did you get for the front? the 2", 3"...?

Thanks!

are you using stock motor/trans? will this drop affect the angle of the drive shaft?

 

...

 

yeah i was being lazy....i was just trying to figure out what issues would come up with a stock drive line and this lowering youve done

 

Best thread! makes me want to tear into my '51! two thumbs up dude!

 

I love this build

 

That dash would look better with the gauges in the middle and the side coves blank matching eachother

Kid just went through this entire post really cool project! Can you give the source for where to get the Chevy Truck Spring drops that you used in the rear I have been looking for something like that for a while. Your chassis work came out great I can't wait to see what you will do next.

wow. that was a neat idea. Now back to the rest of the car. ha ha keep up the great work!

 

NIce build!! I love 53's, they are one of my favorite cars. I have done some art of 53's before and sure I'll do more in the future. Keep up the great work.

 

Thanx for posting all of this build. It's really inspiring to see you do all this work. THe lead work and chop with gene is amazing to see along with all the other hard work.
