finally got pics.of my "yard"find

I got this car about 3 months ago finnally got pics,,It's a 50,,I drive a home delivery truck and been watching it for 3 or more years waitin for the day for it to come up for sale..and that time finally come...much to my suprise,,it was an old hot rod,,not just a stock old p.o.s.It's got {or had}a 58 283 with a 68 corvette carb intake heads,,huge cam,,and muncie 4 speed and 57 chevy rearend,,pulled motor and it was trashed,,to many years outside with no air cleaner and leaking water down carb,destroyed it,,interior is perfect..nothin like silver naugahyde,,,,my plans are to put mild smallblock in it,,,drive the shit out of it this year (hopefully) and then make a mild custom...let me know what you guys think,,any good ideas,,would help....

 

Anyway you can post larger photos? These are interesting but waaaay too small to view.

 

i'll try took me an hour to post these f'n puters

 

Great find, man...Too bad the old motor was trash...keep us posted on your progress...

 

how do i resize pics to load?

 

Cool find, i love these chevys made into customs

 

halfcocked, ya might try going to PHOTOBUCKET, set up account, download pics from your puter to the site, then you can post different sizes on here. way easy once ya have done it a few times. oh ya if ya click on the enter buttion after each post you will stack them enstead of being beside each outher, lots easer to view that way, hope this helps, later little d

did this work?

 

on a side note I sold the vette parts on ebay,,and almost paid for the car,,kept the 202 heads,,

 

Yeah, it worked...looks good for a 4-door. What are your plans for a "mild customization"?

 

in the way of custom,,I was thinking 50 pontiac or 58 chev taillights,,,plymouth bumpers(if I can find some)and do something with the grill,,,maybe vette,,,thought for the paint blitz black lower with crazy bass boat metalflaked silver roof..thats what i got so far,,,looks good in my head

 

Is the trans and rear end still good? From the looks of that front seat, the black and silver would make a good combo. With a new engine up date, it'll make a hell of a sleeper. Good score...


HellRaiser

 

hellraiser,,as far as I know they are still good,,but have access to another 57 rear if needed,,keeping my fingers crossed for now....I think it was a slepper before,,it even has old traction bars,,looks kinda like ad a leafs,,were these any good

 

added some more http://s274.photobucket.com/albums/jj250/halfcockedcustoms/?mediafilter=allre

 

any photo shop guys,,do your magic

 

Cool! I like the black with silver flaked roof too. Keep us updated!

 

any advice on wheels?

 

that interior is extra cool. I like whitewalls and hubcaps... like a 58 vette hubcap would be cool. so you got whitewalls that say custom and vette caps that say HOT ROD

 

nice idea

 

photo shoppers?

 

bttt

 

Nice looking "sleeper". Proof that people rodded 4 doors before the 2 doors became scarce. Cool find.

 

A good side or 3/4 shot without anything or anyone in the way would help.
Nice find though, and it's always nice to be able to get your money back in parts!

 

got a set of wheels for a wedding gift,,they look like these but with black spokes,,they may be sears wheels,,,thinkin' bout sportin www on them

 

Run em!

 

WTF. I didn't know u had that! Do u still have it? I realize the dipshit bumped a really old thread, but if u still have it I have parts! Ohh, hi Jew!: p

 

All that and 4 doors too!
A sleeper with plain steel wheels and dogdish hubcaps.
A yes-it-is-a-hot-rod with five-spokes.

Great find, enjoy it forever.

 

Just another black rusty four door,,, who would drive such a thing???
