Customs Lowered my 54 Chevy!!!

Fatman dropped uprights and cut coils up front and 3" blocks out back.

The dual carbs and headers really woke the ol 235 up! Cant wait to go for a ride and see how it rides. Looks great! I'll post some more pics later.

 

All the right moves! Looks great!
Can you tell us anything about that beautiful green paint?

 

Looks good, about the same attitude as mine. I swear they are either green or blue!

 

Looks just about right to me...

 

great improvement---still needs more rake...

 

As far as I know it's the factory color called surf green haven't done anything but a good polishing to get rid of the oxidation and get some shine back.

Pm me if you're interested in getting rid of them. I think I might need to go 1" lower on my 51 to get the air ride setup lower. But I'm not sure. Thanks!

 

Sweet, my best friend in high school had one that color that was lowered with narrow white walls as it was 1964 and they were the cool new thing.

 

looking good!

 

The '54 210s were so clean. That lowering makes it just about perfect.

 

Looking good

 

Thanks for all the compliments it may not be perfect but it's better than most in my opinion!!!

++ on the good looking car. Good choice on the black wheels.

Mine is very similar with a white roof.

I sold my old uprights to a Corvette guy.

 

Bitchin'!

Nice looking car !

 

That does look good!

 

Wouldn't change a thing on your ride, looking very clean and cool.

Couple from today's birthday party for Jacob:

 

Car looks great man! I just got a 54 and going to lower soon too. Just can't decide on what and how.

 

Thats a handsome car.. Makes me miss when mine was stock roofed and lowered a bit..
I want another one set up pretty much like yours.

 

Looks fantastic.

I would just leave it how it is.

Great stance, much better than all the 54s laying on their frames.....

 

Agreed! I made similar mods; but only went 2" lowering blocks. Mine used to be that color too. Will be red next year. Your paint looks good for its age. I like your car.

 

Dead End Sleds - Your '54 looks good just like latheadpete '54 does, I would not paint it red. Paint it the same color, if it needs freshing up.

I'm also in the opinion that laying on the ground isn't necessary to have a cool ride. Look at the great sleds of the past they were not on the ground, just a trend that costs a lot of money. Keep it cool, keep it low................

Cruiser.....not my car. Belongs to my brother. The Shoebox Ford is mine.
