I am an older hotrodder who just bought a 1954 Chevrolet PU that PO started but could not finish...
Briefly, 54 PU with 4 bar rear & Camaro 10 Bolt, Camaro front clip w/disc brakes, SBC, etc...
Nothing is completed, just all the parts..
The best part is a 54 w/ no rust...
I am an old dragracer who "Needs A Rod" so I am going to to make a daily driver/street rod.
I would appreciate all comments & advice on how to make it real nice... I would also appreciate some pics of others that have done this to give me some guidance..
Great to be here & this site is awesome...
Thanks,
TC

There's quite a mix here from the real resto buffs to the hot rod gang.
It gives the site the best of both worlds.
We're just one big happy family!
As Leo mentioned have a look in the gallery for inspiration.

My husband has hotroded a 37 and now his is going to start on a 50. He used a 261 to still have the straight 6. It went fast enough to give me butterflies!
