LIL' Chevy II (Granny to Gasser)Build

bill, any more picts of that also sweet '51 coupe?

 

Yes, it would!!

 

Nice job taking out the dually in the back ground, Next would be the trailer wheels changed,then perfect

here's another

 

nice shots bill! lovin' the black and white terry! my crew is my brother scott(cowboy hat) and dad jack. dad purchased the engine in my car from a gm dealership in '63 and raced at tracks like sacto, lodi, and vaca valley in the 60's early 70's. definately a family airloom...

 

Time for some new photo's to the thread.Been driving it alot and gettin some racing in too.Drove it from Sacramento to San Francisco for Jimmy's Old Car picnic and raced it at Kingdon drags. I think the little car forgot it started with 13" wheels and tires. 7500 miles on the build so far

 

real nice bill..... did you make the rear set up or in kit form thanks

 

Thanks Rocky, the frame connectors are from Global West with alittle added for the Lakewood ladders to mount to. Bolted in first then welded

 

Bill, I've seen your car up close at midnight mass, Very Nice. Your garage concerns me, looks a little to clean....lol

 

Normally I would have to say that I like the '66-'67 Chevy II body style a little better but, when they are set up as a gasser the earlier body style looks like the designers at Chevrolet knew that's how they were supposed to be. Man, I love the way your car is turning out. Clean and simple.

Doc

 

The car looks and sounds great, you did a nice job on it.

 

Absolutely Beautiful!!!
My first 'ground up' Hot Rod was a 62 Nova with a home-built sub frame setup much like yours... BUT NOWHERE NEAR SO NICE.....In 1974...SUPER JOB!!!

 

he Bill what is the lenght of your axel 46 0r 48 found a 2nd owner black 63 ss convertable 43k miles friday nite at a cruise trying to stike a deal thanks

 

Thank you all for the kind words. I used a 48" cause with the skinny's and no backspacing on the front wheels it gives it the right look,

 

Have seen this car quite a few times--very well done--really got it right

 

Thanks for the reply. That is one sweet parts runner! Looks like I better get my butt in gear. Hope it turns out as BA as yours. Need to get a few more pics on here. Will fix that soon. Thanks again.

I miss the Nova, I sold it to a Museum and its been on display now for 5 years or more. they even bought a the Okie Doker '57 Chevy the Nova raced, and they built a display and recreated the photo of the race

 

You put together one sano ChevyII, so clean!
Another one in your future maybe?

 

Patiently waiting to buy this back, Been in that museum for quite some time now.
