I inherited it from my father who recently passed away. As far as my 53 goes I have an 89 vette suspension for it complete front and rear which I am going to build a 2x3 boxed frame for with Airide. And I plan on running a small block probably a crate motor.Its definitly a project in the making.

Most of the guys here are stock/restored or moderately hopped up and modernized. Not to many guys that like to drag the frame.

I have built complete restored rides AND customs,and to me I feel the best rides are those that suite your needs and visions whether it be fully restored or completly custom fabbed. And although it will lay frame it will also have a good 8" to 10 " of lift so it will have a decent ride height.But other than the running gear the body will remain stock. So when I come dragging past you dont cry because it will only be the titanium blocks emmiting the shower of sparks!!
