Home built project in a 2 car garage on a dirt floor (old shop). I need to rehab the shop some before I start and have the electricity hooked back up. The idea behind the project is to mock up what a 1968 chevy cst-SS would look like if chevrolet would have produced such a thing. Please follow along with my thoughts & plans and feel free to offer your input as we can build this togather. This will be a time consuming project that will take some time as I have other priorities working also. |
