Casper
Got a new project over the weekend. It is a running and driving 69 Chevy stepside. What should I do first? Thinking of building along the same lines as Stella Mae and using it for a daily driver. What yall think?

Re: Casper
Whitehouse is right down the road from my work. How did you find it? Don't tell me craislist cause I am usually all over it but have laid off a little the last month. I do have 2 six lug rallies if you go that route.

Re: Casper
Yep Craigslist, was posted on Tuesday of last week. Had to put a battery on it and it cranked right up. Very little rust. Only found it in the rockers but thats typical.

Re: Casper
Well it looks like you did good! Is it original paint? It must drive good if you are considering it for a daily driver.

Re: Casper
The ad is still up and I did see the ad. I would have been all over it if there were pics and it actually said it was a stepside.

Re: Casper
Shift linkage needs adjusting, (po moved shifter to the floor),but other than that it runs pretty good. May change the tranny out for something different.
I think I bought a core support from you last year? Hows the burb project coming? |
