There's a '54 Chevy 'Burb not far from where I live. Actually, I've know about it for (and occasionally driven by it) about 15 - 20 years! I finally stopped and talked to the owner about it. It can be had for the grand sum of $500.00. With title.
It is, as I said, a '54 Chevy, factory hydromatic, glass is all there and good except windshield is cracked. M.I.A. are the hubcaps, both rear seats, and the engine & tranny!
It has a little rust in the lower rear fenders, center running board bracket, and (the worst spot) the lower cowl on both sides (front clip is off) this area is just gone. The flange where the fenders bolt on, the inner kick panels, the toe board, all rusted away.
I'm not a good enough body man to do cowl replacement. Should I pass on this one? Maybe look for one that isn't quite so rusty. I don't even know if I'd be able to get any of the local body shops to do the patch panels...I can do everything else. Also, wondering about finding an original tranny....... What's everybody think???
