Projects and yet another 53 chevy build

I bought this car about 2 years ago and have been working on it slowly. Currently getting the finishing touches to the underside of the body and the frame enough to finish weld the frame for paint undercoat the underside of the body. Mods done so far are gambino notch and 4 link, mustang II with air ride, chopped with 51 fleetline rear window, 56 packard tailights, narrowed 56 chevy bumper, louvered hood, 55 chevy headlight bezels. Gonna run a 307 and a 700r4 with a 10 bolt. Here is what i started with.

The frame is a roller again. The underside of the car has been done and undercoated for a few months now. Today the body is back on the frame. Time for some bodywork now

 

looks good

 

This is going to be killer!

 

sweet!

dig the packards!!!

 

are you keeping the flames? haha. good job man thats looking real good! how do you like the gambino kit, does the top bars on the 4 link interfear with the rear floor pans?

 

I have slots cut into the floor behind the rear seat where the upper bars come through. The gambino kit was awsome to install. There were some great tech articles on here of how to do it.

 

Got the floor all sealed up and painted along with the rest of the interior. Now on the next step, A crafter air ride kit from Kustombuilder

 

hey hey i made it on. thanks for the info on the truck. and the car is looking great of course on to the body work yea.

 

Killer Build!

 

Thanks for all the compliments guys, I really appreciate it.

 

Small update while im working on the bodywork trying my best to get the car all straight. Ive been buyin grill parts since I pretty much picked the car up and started putting it togeather finally. Probabally not required but Im painting the back side of all of the parts before assembly.

 

killer job... can hardly wait to see the finished product.

 

Tonite I got my door hinges all rebuilt after sandblasting all of the parts and painting them a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for the tech article Texashardcore. Here is a link to his tech article that worked great for me
