My new old chevy

[mudman316]

set in a shed from 97 to 04. some one some time fixed the front of the quarters. i'll have to redo one day. rockers and boxes gone. floors good . clip good. top awesome hatch awesome hinges and hold ups great shape. it is double wall top. 350 4 bolt and 350 auto. with a/c. condenser and every thing there except for compressor. and bracket. this thing once was nice i hope to drive as daily driver and fix as i go. they reupolstered it some time in the 90's and leather looks good they used cloth inserts that are faded pink i hope to dye them charcoal or black has red seams i hope they last and stay good for a long time dryrot will get me one day tho. here are some teasers till i get it running and halfway back together i have to bolt seats and top down so i can drive it and then start work on the body a little at a time.

Nice find. Welcome to the board from San Antonio. How does it run? What are your plans?

got to get it running. no carb right now hope to remedy it fri. just got done reading getting one started after 15 years FAQ's and mine may not be that bad i plan on doing all the lubes and hoses and soaking of heads and cylinders and priming before i try to start. then get it running to drive start and stop good and use as daily driver while fixing it up nice. got to start somewhere.

Looks good, I like your plan of getting it going and fixing it as you go.

Looks to be in pretty good shape. Especially for the $ you paid (saw in your other post) The good hatch & hardware is nice to already have on there. Mine was not and is a continous PITA!

We got it started with new wires and plugs with my carb and new HEI. Top on it and rear seats bolted down. I even got to drive it around a little but tranny may need rebuilding will only shift up if start in low and shift manually. Not a good idea to drive around to fast without front seat bolted down just a FYI. But at this point work at a stand still . i got laid off at work. put for sale this week. if no sale and get job soon may start back work on it. but it is breaking my heart to sell. the wife even told me no don't cause she knows how long it took me to finally buy another one. but family first no matter what.
