Hey brother Mark, I guess i'll get this party started with my Coupe. Built the car over the course of 9 months with the help of my friends. The only work I had farmed out was haveing the seat upholstered. The rest of the build was done by myself, Mikes29, Bsharp and one of our other friends. Sarted building the car right about the time my wife decided to shock me and file for divorce. Building the car with my friends was so much more therapuetic then any shrink could do. It's what got me through such a rough time in my life and help keep my sanity.

Here's my 4 pics, If anyone is interested in my build up of the car check it out here. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=748122







thanks

 

Come on guys keep them coming,we are a Hot Rod forum you do have some killer Hot Rods out their.

 

O.K. Here is my old 54 Chevy. It is still in the process, but I drive it any way. I bought the car from a young man in Kansas and the car had been in the same family since new. His grandfather bought the car new in 54. Then his uncle took the car and then it was passed down to the young man I bought it from. It is a 54 Chevy 150 series that has been lowered with Fat Man Spindles and Posie Lowrider rear springs. Disc brakes on the front. I have upgraded it to open drive and a 5 speed transmission. I have added a Fenton header and intake that has been ceramic coated. I have also added 2 2 barrel carbs and Smitty mufflers on the dual exhaust system. It racks off really good. It has a white roll and pleat interior. Wide whites, chrome wheels with spider caps. And it gets driven and I ran it down the drag strip at the HAMB Drags this year.
Later,
Dick
