    I reciently purchased a 17k 1954 Chevy Tin Woody Glad I found this site.
    It is now recieved a complete 78 Camaro suspension front and rear. SBC dressed up like a early sixtys hotrod. TH400 with a 12 bolt rearend. I am leaving the outside alone and only changing the steering column inside. The inside looks like a 17k car, really nice. All that is left is to install the wiring and the exhaust. Thanks for having me.

    Nice engine and subframe. I bought a 1980 Camaro and played around with the subframe in my 1948 Chevy 1/2 ton panel. Like a fool used MMII type front end instead. :confused:
    Ya ever think about an HEI distributor? Love the rams horns and aircleaner. :yahoo:

    Very nice ride.
    I agree that the patina is great but what about painting the wood?
