    Did I miss it in an earlier post? How much did you chop it? I've seen pictures of a bunch of these Chevys with chopped tops and some of them are just chopped too much. I really like how you chop has turned out.

    Thanks guys, here are some other pics from today. The first one is my wife and little girl, wearing her 50 Chevy Kustom shirt I found at Billetproof last year.
    I did a crap job of taking pics today, I am hoping some friends got some better ones.

    Yeah, the 3.42 with the t5 is an awesome combo with the 235. 20mpg at 70mph.

    I was just wondering if you are planning to run fender skirts? I haven't seen any pictures with skirts on so, I'm guessing you aren't going to run them.

    We just finished fitting them up, but I really don't think I am going to run them. I just prefer the symmetry of a wheel/tire combo at each end

    These pics are from Friday. We had it in the booth at 4 and I was back on theroad at 7. Drove home and then to gambinos sit down where I unexpectedly won the "most improved " trophy for the car.; Big thanks to Brian and Kirk Jennings for the work.

    I love how this went from being a "driver from Day One" back in May 2011 to what it is now. Funny how our intentions changed. When I bought my 51, I told me wife and club member to not let me touch it for the first year. One year to almost the day I bought it, it went from a 235 PG with nasty wiring to new 12v wiring, 327/T350 with a 8" rear, relocated rear springs and different tires and wheels. My intent was to drive it as is also...
