It has a new hood cab doors almost everything in terms of new bodyparts. The only thing is the brakes don’t work, the door is bent (but like I said I have new ones) and it runs like poop.
It has an I6, I’m not sure what size…Pretty small though, 5 spd, flat deck, PTO, mounts for a HI-AB. (excuse my spelling if that’s wrong)
I’m not sure what to do with it… I’m thinking do the body first (keeping it "Rat-Rod"ish, a little rusty and off color), then slam it…?? Maybe some stacks too, just for ***** and giggles…
This is what got me thinking, but I’m going to do this cheaply. So it’ll be static not bagged like that one and I think since it’s bigger I’ll lower the front end more to give it an aggressive look. As for paint maybe I’ll just prime it and that’s all. The motor needs a carb rebuild, a tune up and a new battery. And the brakes don’t work at all so I think there is a rusted out line somewhere.
Thats awesome man! How’d you come across something like that? We got a pretty good hotrod and custom scene over here, i love cars that are slammed into the dirt!
I found it parked in a field a couple years back. Took me 45 mins and a new battery to get it running. So last weekend I asked how much he wanted for it, he said happy late birthday.
That is a sweet find ive always wanted to find an older chevy to bag and body but most the time just for a rollin chassis they want a arm and a leg good luck with it
UPDATE: Oh god this is going to be harder than I though to go as low as I want to. The way the front suspension is setup I’ll probably have to mount the front axle on top of the leafs… Which will be a total ***** and a half… So I’m rebuilding the carb and fixing the brakes then putting the project on hold. I need way more time to do this.
The only thing in fields over here is cows & sheep oh & the odd burnt out ford escort…
