That's a pretty good looking chevy. Looks like somebody else used Vette seats (68-9 w/out headrests). ;D   wonder whats up with that grill insert, come loose or mounted crooked?

That reminds me, i have to figure out where to put my antenna.

Not bad at all. If you could get it right, so you could add your touches to it.

For me it's a near miss. It wasn't a roadster and a bit more care would have helped. The front axle is too far out front, in fact I don't care for the whole front suspension set up, shock and head light mounts. But it is pretty nice and a good start. It will be fun to see what the reserve is and if it sells.

I deffenitly agree with you Sixball. That frt assy would look more at home on a T bucket. Standard axel in stock location would look better to me. That pinned top might give you some ideas for yours. I was thinking about that the other day. I wonder if you could get some of those push pins to unlock in the center so you could break the frame work down to easily store in the trunk?


Excuse my poor sketch.

Yes the front axle is to far forward, curious to what it will bring.

Sammons that is what I'm thinking of. Something that can break down and still not be a sloppy rattling mess.
