    Your car has always been in my favorite top 5 53/54 chevy's your improvements are top notch.

    May I ask you for some details specs
    like:
    What front end are you using? spindels?
    What rear axle, notch, 4 link ect..
    Does your exhaust go under or over the axle?
    What head light buckets are those.
    is the top chopped? if so how much?
    do you have a build thred?
    Thanks
    Godspeed

    Wow very nice 53, I really like the green paint with the white top, it really sets it off.

    Thanks for the info on your setup, that answers alot of questions for me.

    Top 5, yeah I said it, I saw your car many years ago on another car site and I got hooked, loved it then and love it now.

    Godspeed

    I don't like this car! I love,love, love, the sweet thing. Did I mention I love the Chevy? My bro is doing a 54 at this time and he had just shown me pix of your rig as one of his faves, and it knocked me out. Very awesome truck as well. Rock on man ~sololobo~

    If I can get my damn carbies sorted on my FJ by then lol
