so I just saw a video of the monster garage episode of the '54 chevy they did with all the "famous" builders. I never saw the show and just now found a quick video of it finished on youtube...I did a search but found no info on this car
so I'm wondering if anyone has any pics? where's the car now? how much did they section, chop, channel? what type of '54 chevy did they start out with? any build details would be appreciated planning for a future project and liked that car a lot |

54 chevy 210(i think), sectioned 4 inches, chopped 4 in the front and maybe 5 in the back, Jesse still has it and there are a few pics of it on 50chevy.com

If memory serves me correctly they cut it down a total of 12 inches. Jessie still has the car and it was a 210 post they started with.

That was one of the best shows. I may have a '53 Belair next week.

That was the best car show I ever saw. Man what a shop full of talent.
P.S. Wasn't that the episode when Norm Grabowski had to go to the emergency room ? |

this car made me a fan of sectioning. most of the sectioning stuff i had seen before was on "goofy" east coast style cars. this cemented for me that sectioning does have a place in the kustom world.
It must have been quite a build to have all those names and builders helping out. talk about a whos who of fabricators.

If they could make a show like that without all the b.s. drama I would love it. I seem to remember Jesse mentioning something like doing a "Norm Abrams" type of fab show. That would be awesome but I realize it would be a pretty small fan base. Oh well, a guy can dream...

Great episode, but my favorite was the Model A sedan build. Except I wanted to kill the idiot faking the heart attack.

One of his best shows and love the 54. I quit watching Monster Garage after Jesse crushed the cherry Anglia.
