Newbie to restoration....
Hey all. I just recently picked up a 1951 Chevy fleetline 4 door. It is a manual with a 216 motor. It is is very good condition. Needs interior and has some rust spots. Nothing too cancerous. My plan is too Put a 350/350 turbo trans in it, Mustang II front slip to support the airbag suspension. The body and interior will remain pretty stock. I just dont really know where to start?? Should I have the Eng/trans and suspension work done before body work? Should I pull the motor and interior and start "cleaning" up the rest (paint engine bay and stuff)? I want to start but seem overwhelmed with ideas and need a starting point!
Any help would be much appreciated.
I will post pics once my project starts
My grandfather, mom's side, drove a 39 Plymouth coupe when I was about 4 or 5 and I thought it was pretty cool and I loved the tail fins on the 49 Cadillac. I drew cars when I was in the 5th and 6th...
How did you get hooked on cars?
