pics of my 50 chevy project.

[Circus Bear]

Here are some pics of where I'm at. I just starting. I'm not sure if these pics will work so I'll just add a link to the website I just built incase. The web site sucks I did it in about 15 minutes. I does show pics though. Hopefully this weekend we'll be able to get started. We need to pull the mopar drivetrain first and get it mounted in the frame. Then we plan to strip the chevy body down and get that surface rust taken care of.

This is where I'm startin so any direction or hints and tips will be welcome.

Thanks for the help. Can you guys pm me some directions?

About the car though.

Here's our plan. We're using a S10 frame for the power disks and power steering. I figured we would put the frames side by side and transfer measurements and body mount locations. The wheelbase's are the same so it should be fairly easy. I will have to check the kickup to make sure it's not too tall. If it is I'd like to cut it down and re-box it. With the big ass 383 I'm planning on running a push through electric fan to give me more room. I'll have to figure something out for the radiator so any ideas would be great.

My friend Mike has experience in car building. It's my first build. He's showin' me the ropes and passing years of knowledge. I feel truely blessed for this learning experience. I am fully open to any ideas or advice that anyone has. I will keep everyone posted as to the progress. The biggest problem is time but isn't it always.

thanks in advance for help.
