My new addition to the car stable!!!! Pics.....
 

i have been looking for a post war car to turn in to a wild street rod, i finally found it....1936 Chevrolet standard sport 2 door sedan, completely original and 95%complete, also a rust free body to work with :cool:

my plans for this conversion to a street rod are:

Corvette LS Motor backed by a 700r4 tranny, rolling on a late c4 suspension. the body will be chopped 4 inches and channeled 2 inches. let the work begin.........:thumbs:

where did you find that Ed??
Nice ride.:thumbs: Im thinking of maybe selling the Vette next spring to buy a 1929-1934 ford or chevy hot rod, but not from Colorado..going to look in other states for the right one.:D

i found it on craigslist, it is a original Colorado car out of buena vista. it has not been registered since 1952. has been sitting in a shed since then. i even got a copy of the original title along with a updated Colorado title. i am the third owner also....

That looks like a very cool project!

thanks,:thumbs: it is going to be a long challenging project but i am ready for it...ed

here is a sample of what i want to accomplish with this project......

Ed, it's going to take more than Zanio to make it look like that.:D
:cheers:

:lol: that's the challenge i am very excited to be taking on. :thumbs:

i will just have to use a power buffer......not by hand....:lol:



everyone thought i was crazy when i bought this and sad i was going to restore it....

and it turned out to be this... not to bad for a guy not knowing what he is doing...:lol:

i was going to chop it 4 inches, but i have decided to leave the body original, except i am going with fiberglass fenders that are 2 inches wider to allow for wider tires. the drive train will be all custom along with the interior......i figure it will be about a 3-4 year project as long as i can bank roll it......

Hows that car coming along?:thumbs:

:lol: my knuckles are blooded, my cussing has become very loud,i have lost numerous tools due to throwing them across the garage but besides all that its coming along OK. i should have it completely disassembled by the end of next week.....:thumbs:

p.s i have finally wised up and fired up the cutting torch!!!!!
