Pics of my 54 Chevy gasser project

I love that body style Chevrolet!

Too cool! Vickers will be drooling all over the screen when he see's this. lol

I hope those shackles are just for mockup!

i was wondering about those hillbilly lift shackles as well

The shackles were there when I bought it,and they will be changed for sure.

Are you going to keep the gasser look?

Iv'e never owned anything older than a 64 and I'm only 38 but I have to learn these terms because some day I want an older ride .
Cool car by the way .

Gasser has that old race car look with the front end jacked up in the sky.

Oh ok thanks for the info , I'm learning .

Made some progress on the 54 this weekend.I got my 4-speed hooked to my motor and hopefully will have it setting in by next weekend.After that I will get the brakes fixed,weld in my new front spring hangers and then start on my steering.After all of this I may be able to meet up with you guys and hit a couple of the cruises.

Sounds good. Take lots of pics. lol

I have had these wheels(15x4 cragers)for several years and I bought the tires off of the guy I got the car from.I will keep adding as I go.

That is sweet looking.

As usual,I am pretty bad for changing my mind.The car is now in the garage.I know none of you all actually know me personaly,but in Jan 09 I was in a very serios car accident that busted my left hip,left leg,lower back,complete left shoulder as well as my head.This is the reason I am disabled.I get around pretty good somedays but struggle sometimes with walking and getting up and down.So now I have decided to go with a automatic for a while because I am afraid that my hip and leg will give me alot of trouble,and also decided to go with a Small block instead of the Big block.By doing this I should hopefully have this thing on the road a little sooner.I am shooting for no later than Aug.1 2010.I will keep you posted

Man you fit right in here with the rest of us gimps. Sounds like you went through a rough one. At least you are still able to move around and build rods. We do what we can and don't look back. It's easier that way.

Better to be up and running and enjoy the car than for it to never see the road. If putting an auto in allows you to drive it and enjoy it go for it!

Got my noise maker(noisey gear drive)installed in the motor,got the motor and trans bolted in,put my disk brakes(from speedway)installed.I am going to try to hang pedals,booster and run brake lines this week.After that I am going to get rid of the shackles on the front.Wish me luck!

She's moving right along.

Looking good.
