Re: Let's See'em

mariojb,

If you were talking about my 55 Chevy thanks man. I love that car man and you can’t beat the fuel injected big block it has under the hood. I'm now digging into the 58 big window truck. I'm going all out on it. It’s going to have some cool but very subtle mods.

Here another pic of the 55 Chevy



You have a nice truck man. To all of the home builders like me, keep up the good work.

Re: Let's See'em

Tri5Nerd,

I like that what your doing as far as engine and trans, the clip (IFS) looks like it was done nicely.

You have a really nice project there.

Re: Let's See'em

Thanks Kabwe,
I have been sourcing parts and working on this project for a year and half now and I'm getting into the body prep portion now, just making these old parts fit and line up correctly is a PITA!
Since I've been doing most of the work I want to continue with the body to see how far I can go without dialing 911 for professional help (paint).

Re: Let's See'em

Tri5,

I do all my own work as well because I know that nobody cares about my cars like I do. I simply don't trust others to work on my rides.lol Very protective that way.lol

To All The 58-59 Trucks out there

You guys are looking good! It’s nice to see a lot of my 58-59 Chevy truck brothers on here. You don't see too many of us at truck shows. I almost fell into the trap of changing mine to a 55, because I thought it would be cool to have the same year car and truck, but naw. I own it to the under represented 58-59 to stay true. Those dual head lights are growing on me. I just wish I had a fleetside bed.

Re: Let's See'em

Kabwe I know what you mean the 4 lights have grown on me as well. When I first bought my truck I started looking for a 55-57 front clip but now I like it alot.

Re: Let's See'em

Daily Driver - I know it's an import, but I can't get the truck to pull over 1g laterally without a lot more work than I can afford right now.


1947 - Unfortunately, I never expected to be able to fix all the cancer on it, so I let it go to get my current one. It had been in my family since new.


Current - 1958 w/ '56 front end. Right now it's got an Olds 350/TH-400 and will eventually have an Olds 455 and be AWD.

Re: Let's See'em

entourageguy,

The 58 is sweet with the wide whites, and I love the stance.

Jebb,

The Chevy II looks nice.

Thanks Man, It's nothing compaired to your 55 though. That car is beautiful! Is that GM Harmony Gray? That is the color I have decided on painting the 1/2 ton. It is going to be a two tone aswell.
