This is my 1st build.
Sometimes im amazed that all i did was follow the directions, ask the internet a few questions, cursed, drank some beer, and after 8 months it fired up 1st try. Been driving the Fiddy everyday since.

1950 Chevrolet Fleetline Deluxe
1955 235, 12v with late model alternator, 3 on the tree with a 54 powerglide rearend for 3.55 gears
54 Backing plates and bendix brakes on the front connected to an under the floor dual master cylinder
Painfull wiring harness and electric wipers
New front floors

Im absolutely, totally, addicted to driving this car. I built it to drive it daily and have no complaints.

Welcome to the HAMB. Nice looking Fleetline you have there. Looks real straight and a good cruiser. We all go thru the cursing and frustration of a build at some point. But many of us tend to drink a little more than just "some beer".:eek: We tend to drink kegs of the stuff, with a little bourbon thrown in to help clear the pipes.:D:D

Seems HAMB might be a good place to meet some locals, got a few members from Stl, and the surrounding area.
