Hi & welcome. Love the old Chevies. What part of the country are you located as you could be nearby to some of us for activities & such. Our local club is now back to monthly activities such as day trips & cruise in's and such. My avitar photo here shows the 1957 235 tricked out 6 cylinder engine in my 46 Coupe. Jimmie
My favorite year of the pre WWII Chevy coupes! But I'm biased! Mine is a 350 roller motor, 700R4, and 8.8" Ford posi.
That was after 6 months of rust and rot repairs. Then another year of getting the drivetrain in it, new '58 Chev truck axle I narrowed 5" and put under it. Then all the other assorted new wiring, plumbing, etc. And all new interior I sewed up for it. Just waiting for spring so it can be painted to finish it.
