Day I bought it...



Couple years later...



Still a long way to go.

 

Nope. Originally I was just going to fix up the brakes and lower it a little but after working on it a bit and finding a lot of poorly fixed rust. it turned into a full rebuild of everything. The paint in the first picture looks way better than it was. I stripped the first few layers off with a razer blade.

 

Under the gravel shield it just fell apart.

 

Wow!! you really don't think how bad they are until you start tearing in to them.It just looked like the first photo of your chevy looked really good.Looks like the road salt got to it.That's one thing that we don't have here in Houston.They don't salt the roads, no snow but every 15/20 years.

 

A few years and projects ago, my Sport Coupe looked like this...

 

OoltewahSpeedShop Love those Sports Coupes, I've built 5 of them. They turn out to be one nice looking car.

 

The first pic is from 2/09.the second pic is current shape.

 

Bump

 

Very Nice!!!

 

This is what my '4x Chevy looked like when I got it for next to nothing:



And here's what it looks like now. I'm pushing to have it on the road by late spring of '12:
