Projects '51 Chevy build journal

[Just Gadget]

I know what you are saying Rob, I have a 5 year old myself, between him, my job and the wifey, time is limited in my shop. But winter is coming and more time for the shop is coming ... I hope!

[dimebag]

Yep still alive and on baby detail, work and more work!! Still got my 50 and made it to the Hunnert after a day and a half thrash on replacing the trans-which the new one grinds going into 3rd. But yep I'm still here and waiting to see some work done on the 51, not more work on a pink vespa or staged pics of a rented truck in an accident!!!

[robleticia]

There he is!!! I knew I could lure you in by posting on Racrdad's thread! We have missed your humor around here! Where is my Hunert shirt and where are the pics????? How's the baby girl doing? Oh yeah, leave my pink Vespa out of this!

[robleticia]

Nothing new going on, working two jobs right now!!! Did work on the door and fender gaps a couple of weekends ago, what a huge pain in the ass! Then more work and the holidays have been keeping me busy.

[robleticia]

[black240]

Your car is inspirational!!!

[robleticia]

Thanks 240, progress has been little or none lately with the holidays and the fact that I just got hit head on at a stop sign last week on my bike! I think my bike has a magnet built into it, that or I just have shitty luck! Rebuild #2 coming up!

Sorry to hear that happen. I also emailed you inregards of a chop. I contacted you through your web site's email.

I hope you get back on the ban wagon a show us more pictures of this build.

You have a 4" chop all the way around right?

[robleticia]

240, sorry, I didn't get the e-mail. The site is brand new, just got started a couple of days ago. We still have a few bugs to work out so you can contact me through my personal e-mail: robgriffin69@hotmail.com or send me a PM through here until I get everything worked out. And it is 3" all the way around.
Rob

Now that is the understatement of the year!! Goddamn, Rob, I had no idea you were ready (and able) to dive into the deep end of the pool.
Y'all absolutely made it look easy, like it was old hat to you.

Kudos, boys, kudos!!
I definitely have chop envy. Shit, here I am mounting the master cylinder/booster on the cowl, telling myself I am in deep enough already, etc. And BOOM . . . the boys out in Texas say "You think you've bit off a big hunk of Chevy? Well, watch this!"

Damn fine work. As if the Canadians haven't shamed me enough, you have to go and do this.
