Nice 54...I like the front bumper details. Did you smooth it, shape the ends and get it re-chromed?

Marc

Thanks. and Yes, Yes and Yes. It was cut in the center and about 2 inches pulled out to narrow it as well. All mounting bolts were welded to the inside and filled the original holes.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Hope the restore is going well. What size are those white walls?

15x6 and 16x7 on the rear. The tires are BFG and wide whites by Diamond Back.
Thanks.
I can the exact tire size if that's what you were asking. Let me know.

Very Cool...the rear bumper looks as good as the front. Looks to be some type of car bumper (but I could be wrong)....Nicely done!!

Thanks. I really like it. It isn't a real Napco though. I have made mine look like one. It has a Dana 60 front axle and a Dana 70HD rear. I kept the frame and springs. I had custom adapters made to keep the original wheels. I put a 454 with a 465sm behind it. I also put in a torque splitter overdrive in to help with freeway speeds. Both axles have 4.56 gears. I slapped reproduction Napco emblems on it for fun I guess. It will be fun to drive when I get it out of the shop.

Here is a link. I have lost most all of my pictures as photo hosting sites have been bought up.i haven't been on this forum much or the Stovebolt for quite awhile I couldn't find any of my pictures here either but am sure three were quite a few at one time.

Mine looked like this at first.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Here's mine. Wish it looked this good up close.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

I know, not a Chevy but I thought it was really cool.
