Chebby
I'm rethinking my next car..
Leaning towards a 1964 or 1963 Impala or better yet a Bel Air 4 door post..
Can't splain it... I want to drive around in one..

So-Cal Tex
And his old 1932 Ford 3 window coupe
We did up a frame on my old 1932 frame jig a few years back
And my pal John helped the old body get back solid.
Cool old hot rod with a look all it's own.

Hell is chrome
When the devil came
He was not red
He was chrome and he said
Do you know the band?
Not much going on Sat. back is still killing me, went to Costco..

old sedan
I sold Andy the body and the double Z'd frame
He's been driving it for a few years now.
Just saw it on craigslist for sale,(I'm sure it's on the hambo too)
Good parts, lazy sloppy workmanship.
If you could buy it right, it wouldn't be hard to un whizbang it.
He once installed a trans cooler by zip tying it to the p/s ladder bar.
Pull off the goofy big grill shell for starters. And remove all the speaker box carpeting.
It has a pretty good sedan body and solid foundation.. The 50 Merc wheels came from my stash
and the dash board I picked up at the Chickasha swap meet.
Guessing he needs cash for a lawyer. (funny story on its own)

Bill's sedan update
Well, not entirely new news. Got a repaint last year.
It is getting a new blower motor soon.
Double Z'd frame, no chop no channel
Sounds like a chop is in the future too.
Looks classy reminds me of a tuxedo

sedans - compare
Had a good talk the other day with a pro builder.
Spoke about the difficulty of keeping it simple.
I had showed him some samples of customers cars.
With my chassis as a solid foundation it's up to you on the build.
From "jagged and ragged to clean and mean"
Here is three examples of sedans.. on a real guys budget

Matt's 440 Mopar powered 1930 sedan. You must admit, it has attitude |
Super solid construction, yet a very edgy appearance |
This is Jason's SBC tri-power 1930 sedan smooth primer, gloss frame and firewall |
some flashy bits, Buick drums three carbs but come on, you could build one like this too ! |
Rosey yanked apart a old amateur resto for his sedan |
I get a ride in it if I ever make it to Alabama |
flat black, red wheels, white walls, flathead and zoomie pipes hell this must be one of those rat rods ! His first time chopping a car ! Super driving machine |
