Projects Wow...I am Hyped...Drove the Biscayne Today

Boy...I am hyped.....I just took my Biscayne project around the block a few times for it's first time out of the garage!.....(Broke in the engine/cam last Sunday)
What a HIGH!! All works awesome...considering I replaced the rear end, driveline, transmission, clutch, motor, radiator, brakes/lines etc.....this car is gonna be fun!!
All that I expected and more.....(for a low budget driver)
Now I need to get some exhaust on it, so the neighbors won't call the police on me...(running two foot straight pipes at the moment)

 

Thats a great feeling when it finally moves under its own power. When my galaxie finally got on the highway I didn't get the smile off my face for a week. The minute you get out of the shop with it all the hours of work are suddenly worth it, ya know?


Hope you have fun with your toy. Don't make it too quiet; its fun to hear your gas burn.

Adam

 

Congratulations, looking forward to the day I get to have that experience with my current project

 

Congrats! Im looking forward to getting my flatty running this summer. I can only imagine the feeling of that first run and drive! I cant wait to feel it myself.

 

Bob.

 

...got any better pics?

 

Added another picture of one of the several "Drive Bye's"

 

Very cool!

 

I've got 50 miles on mine in its current form. I need to leave shit alone and just drive it.

 

Only other one on this computer is here....
(Haven't uploaded all pics from old computer yet)

Thanks for all the kind words....it has taken a full year to get this far..
ON EDIT.....THE BUMPERS ARE BACK TO CHROME....SO WILL THE REST OF THE TRIM BE...(was just expermenting at this point...also have bias tires on the front now too)

 

i like the 57 grill bar!

 

Thats what it is!

 

Very nice!

 

Its nice when you get to drive the car/truck you have put your dollars and heart in to running congrats

 

Nothin' like the first drive- I kind like the grill and single headlights too. Interesting. Maybe tone down the color of the mesh behind it. One guys opinion.

 

I bet your neighbors were peeking out their windows saying What the heck is he doing now? as you went blairing thru, back and forth,back and forth repeatedly CONGRATS!

 

That's great.. Cool car...First drive is always fun. Time now for a few shakedown runs. Good luck...

 

I LOVE the look of that car!! Can you get any more Plain Jane than that??

 

about damn time! good on you, Bob

 

that is super sweet!

 

That's awesome buddy! Congrats. Can wait till mine is Rollin without me pushin!

 

That's a nice daily ride - enjoy it .

 

Drive by? Looks more like a "touch and go" to me. Had a 63 Biscayne 4 door sedan once, should have kept it; it had 53,000 original miles on it. Still have the front seat; it may find it's way into my 2nd 56 Sedan Delivery, after it gets reupholstered to match the car. BUT, I do like the red checkerboard type covering GM used. Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

Bob...congrats on getting the Chevy running.....I'll catch up to you in the spring.....I'll drive the coupe out and do a lunch thing......John

 

I think you said the smile on your face was wider than a 50 yr olds WHAT??????? see ya later

 

Great job man,
Nothin beats that 1st ride. Awesome
