    I wouldn't dare take credit for the build on this 36 but I did help chop layout and paint it. And in my opinion my brother did the most amazing job on this truck!

    Here's an early photo of my 1940 Chevy Business Coupe a week after I purchased it in the summer of 1996. It just came out a 15 year storage facility and it was all original. It was a scary ride home with those brakes!

    Hi Dan, apologies for the late reply, but it couldn't have been me as I only finished it in September this year.
    Stay lucky, Ron.

    Don't blame you one bit Krol, as that 55' is about as nice as it gets for a period looking ride

    Just has a timeless look to it , very clean job

    Opp's forgot to say that your 56' is spot on too
