Re: my radical 60 build

Thanks for the compliments guys!
chiefroca,yes a 59 impala bumper off my 4 door, and that one is getting a 59 buick bumper.
62 pro street- this truck will probably get a chop (2 inch) too. That second to last truck you pictured is the rod& custom dream truck, I got a ride in that when I was 12, and it was an early inspiration to me!
protrash: probably the only reason I might be off the hook with lilred66, is because this is a 60 not a 456!
hewlett: no I hadn't thought of a name .. but El calymouth is funny!!

Update: I found a decent long fleet box for $75, as a bonus it is white too!
I have also procured a donor for the frame and motor.
It is a 85 chevy wagon.
The guy just put a goodwrench 350 in it , and it has a 2004r tranny,
I plan on using the frame, suspension, radiator, motor and tranny, gas tank, and wiring harness out of that car.
The wheelbase is 115 , and to get the vehicle in proportion I will stretch it to 119, that will let me cut down my long bed to 7 feet.
So this week I have alot of stripping (car!) ahead of me, and hopefully soon I can get the cab and front clip mocked up on the frame.
