ok i think i got it

 

did it work ??

 

I hate Oprah!! You should get a new picture.

 

car looks good but looks short......probably just my old eyes

 

Very nice, except the Oprah Winfrey avatar.

 

The car is sick!!! I love the flat black with the flaked roof. That looks killer on those cars!!! What all did you have to do to make a reliable/safe daily driver?

 

always: normal stuff, quick tune up , rebuild carb, find a tranny , wheels and new tires, Brakes i switch all my cars to a dual pot . I know people ran cars with a single pot ..years ago . but I have too many people counting on my pay check . The car was a squirel motel .

 

thanks sun down

 

that car is nice... i love the daily drivers! any photos of what it looked like when you bought it and what work you have done to it if any.. ?

 

good looking ride there Pumpkin.....keep pluggin at her and you will get what you want,
I mean the car not oprah

 

Ya check out my profile .. the one with the iroc rims .. thats how it was when i got it . i put the rims to transport .. yes i know iroc rims are not trad haha. it had no interior, no wheels or tires , no tranny, no brakes, its was a real project.

 

my va jay jay !

 

shooter are you tell me you have one >??

 

ha. if i did it would be tingling.
nice car man.

 

thanks shooter ..

 

First old ride was a 53 Chev PU drove it daily,all weather.It went everywhere.the 216 3spd torquetube rear end cut through deep snow ice mud.If it spun a tire I'd grab a gear.Fun ride.Vacwipers sucked.

 

Jake there is nothing about Oprah that looks or makes me think about old cars. She just makes me mad. I like your 54. Split the maniflow on that 6 cyl. there is nothing sounds better that a split. Maniflow that is.

 

I hate Oprah! but anyways nice car, I'd like to make one of these my daily driver when I move to Florida this spring..nothing cooler than driving an old car everyday

 

Glad to see im not the only one who cant get over the oprah avatar. Great car though.

 

I would freakin' wreck Oprah! Car looks great too.

 

Glad to hear you got it onb the road...ive watched your questions for awhile now, all that hard work and hopefully the help of the HAMB got you rolling...Congrats!

 

Computer locked up

 

Sorry,Computer malfunctioned!

 

lol ... stay on topic !! haha . eric thanks man .. you have one of the nicest finished 54 out there . I still have a ton of work to do to it .. but when its slow i play with my cars

 

Damn...thanks, I have many years invested (like 5+!) so I feel your pain bro. I just moved out here from southern Maine when I got it finished so it really didnt get to much exposure in New England or Im sure you would have seen it! Your car is looking real good too...totally dig the 2 tone! Plus your driving it year round up there...thats just way cool man! To see a 54 pull up along side at a light in a snow storm is just wild!

 

54's are way over rated! Why would you want one of those???? To make it look like Eric's car maybe? Yeah, that would be a good reason! If I ever finish the 51 I will be calling Eric to get some info on the chop, proportions are perfect!
