    Waddaya think of my newest ride....??

     



    Just won this today on ebay.....gonna pic it up Wednesday. Driveable, titled vehicle with some mild custom body work. Has the standard 350/350 with Nova subframe. Supposedly a real good driver. Comes with all the outside body and window chrome. Now what to do with my 48 and 54 chevy projects!!!.....

    Yeah, thats one of the things I liked best about it. That and the shaved doors and trunk lid.

    Its gonna be awhile before my T is on the road and Im gettin tired of driving my 08 truck to rod runs and shows. So this will keep me in the loop untill the T is finished. Of course I do plan on doing some finish work on the 51 also. But it is cool to have a driveable hot rod again!

    Well I had to call the owner today and ask him where the tail lights came from. He isnt the original builder, but he thinks they are from a Delta 88
    He didnt know what year. I'll hafta research it after I get it home Wednesday. Should be easier to tell close up.

    Nice '51.. I thought about putting '55 Chevy taillights in mine ( even got the sheetmetal from a donor to do it ) but, I decided not too.. they'll probably end up on Ebay
