OK i wanted to bring that one home but could not figure out where to put it, so I brought home this one instead Drove about 2000 miles between friday and Monday morning to get it in Rochester NY. made a deal with Sledbuilder and I am now the owner of this 57 chevy. its going to be a good project for me.. right now I plan to leave it as is but with more HP.. its got a M21 4sp and a 4:10 posi in the rear.... but in the future I am really leaning towards a early/ mid 60's styled mild custom.... lowered, flaked/ patterned roof with astros (or chrome reverse) and pinstripe whitewalls. (sorta in the fashion of a bellflower custom. not sure what I will do with the side trim. Sledbuild has filled most of the trim holes as he planned to only use the lower rear and a shorter 3/4 length door piece... regardless it will get the shit driven out of it.. if you got an pics of either style, please share.. need some ideas to keep me awake at night I must say thanks to Tony for putting me up and dat dirty rat and bigchief for finding time to hang out and show me a cool restaruant called the Dinosour .. great vibe and even better BBQ.. Hey Tommy you got my mind thinking about that buick grill...
FUCKIN A!!! Dude, I am so happy for you. Your ass went with out for long enough. I say you leave it exactly as it is. Lunch Saturday?? -Abone.
Ken, It was my pleasure having you guy's here, and it was great to see you again and meet your wife too.. I wish you guy's had a little more time to stick around, we would have had a good time..Captain anyone?? The dinosaur kicks ass man..i knew you'd dig it. Glad everything went well on the trip up and back too. Can't wait to see what you do with the 57.. Well, if your ever back up this way you'll alway's have a place to crash...... We'll talk soon man Tony Oh yea, buy the grill..it'll look just right with what you wanna do with it
