Official X-Frame (58-64 Chevy) Pic thread!

Heres my Canadian 64 Pontiac Laurention, Chevy X frame and original 283 & glide still going... oh and cute stand up bass player from The Shakedown Combo !

 

Here's mine - 41,650 miles. A true "grandma" car. I really like 60's, but this one was too cool to pass up.

 

Here is mine, w/out (when i got it it was on a suburban frame) and with the x-frame.
At the moment it is all apart getting ready to paint.

 

Got some new tires and blacked the wheels:

 

Very Nice

 

My old X frame - pain in the rear to run the exhaust and cut down on trans choices but road like butter.

 

My '60 Parkwood, 283, 4spd, bagged.......

 

i'll play

 

Hope this is acceptable to everyone. Not exactly traditional, but I did all the work to it myself. Owned for 12 years and it was my daily driver for a lot of that including being my first car.

 

Here are a few that I have been involved with.

I built the wagon years ago - 400sbc/700r4 (yeah I know) This thing is a blast on the interstate. Hit it at 85 and it keeps climbing a while.

The red El Camino was a parts car but I like the photo.

The whiteish El Camino is now in the works and will be running a 59 Buick 401 with a 4 speed. This car will be based on a copper color scheme with black steelies and details. Any of you photoshoppers out there?

The black 60 is a slick car. Factory black over red, 348 with trips and a 4 speed. No ps or pb. Painted once but everything else is as it left the factory.

Currently working on a red and white 59 El Camino. It will be nice but not as nice as the black one on here. That black is gonna be impossible to top! Also a beater 59 coupe but progress is slow....

Sorry for the little photos but I'm still learnin.

 

Jumpin on the bandwagon!!

 

This was my first 58, 348 3-2's and a 4 spd sorry I sold that one...


This one is in the garage waiting restoration...

 

this is pretty much what im going for with my 62 wagon. have a strong 350 in it, bagged. going to get an extra tank so I can run air tools and such. ill be the mechanic at the drag strip soon enough.

 

i have my 62 with a strong built 350/700r4 (looking for a 348/409) and topped in at 110mph going south bound I35 W. It started to float too much so I shut it down and ended up stripping the threads on the speedo housing.

 

Any one ever alter the wheelbase on an X framed GM car? I'd appreciate any pics or advice. Tom S. in Tn.

 

ttt, More pics please!

 

My 1st 58 is the top pic, the one I currently have is the bottom pic. I also owned all the ones in between. There is one that I do not have a picture of & it was a 2dr Biscayne. I have owned 6 of the 1958 Chevys, 2 of the 61 Chevys, 1 1963 & 2 of the 1964 Cheny's.

 

'63 bel air wagon i picked up last weekend!
