Great info on the iPhone picture thing. I’ll give that a try!
Been a little slow working on the cars. Injured my lower back, had steroid injections in my spine and it has taken a couple years to...
Installed the previous owner steering wheel. Would like to find a 15” reproduction of stock wheel, but no hurry. All the lights, turn signals, horn, etc work great.
Never had any of that when I...
Installed the new wiring, gauges and chromed cluster.
Don’t know why the picture is flipped sideways, guess you will need to turn your head to get it upright!
Thanks everyone, I'll check TDC, but sounds like a few extra degrees isn't bad. And It didn't ping, started fine and seemed to perform better.
Hey Chevynut, please give me your thoughts.
I installed a GM Performanve 330 HP engine in my 57.
Starts right up and runs pretty good. Not to thrilled with the Holley carb and may try some sort of...
Nick,
Never heard from you. Hope everything is ok.
Still have the truck manual if anyone wants to add it to the site.

Thanks, I will try and get a trip up to see you planned. Been wanting to see your finished shop too! Had a computer drive go bad so lost some phone numbers. Can you pm me your number and email again?
Thanks, that pretty much was the only way I could figure out to do it. A slow process, but so is everything else!
Hey Chevynut, in a past life many years ago, I seem to remember you posting a picture of the oblong holes for the upper Belair trim on a 2 door sedan.
By any chance, do you still have any pictures?...
Didn't see an email address in the pm?
Nick, I can send you the pdf file. PM me your email address.
Hi guys. I have the 700+ page 55-59 Chevy truck assembly manual if you need any factory info.
It is the original GM manual so it has extreme detail on every aspect of assembly, on every truck...
Trailer is painted, moving the truck in this weekend!!
Yes, it got the best of me. Had to take a quick peak and the sedan is still at the upholstery shop, so can't do anything on it right now anyway!
Got it up on the lift today. Not a total frame change, just a front subframe. Looking at column and wheel, appears to be an 82-88 IROC Z28 Camaro subframe.
Not I'll start checking to see if it's...
Not sure yet Sid.
Want to get the car closer to complete before I do much. Rust in the typical locations.
Came with a donor cab, hood, doors, grill and tailgate, so have some parts. Will probably...
Oh no, look what followed me home, another project.
Going to need to do a little repair work to my right side a pillar some day. Area around lower windshield, down to around the top door hinge.
If anyone is scrapping a car, I would be interested.
Had to get some steel up off the floor. The interior walls are full, so built a wall rack outside.
Will figure out a weather cover later.
So, for $60 and a couple hours, here it is...
Awesome! You have been busy...
Actually, I have a husband / wife working on it. Have known them for years, I have to laugh, he is 86 years old and still doing it. I didn't ever ask her age, but I'm guessing she's only in her...
Hey C-Nut. The trim came back great. He had to copper plate it and sand 3 times to get the pitting out, but chrome looks good. He told me he would do the bumpers for $400 each. I may send him the...
Good find!
I would like to find an old air meter sometime (that wasn't worth it's weight in gold)!
Finally started upholstery. Seats are done, door panels about 1/2 done.
Headlined in the next couple weeks.
Looks grayish, but is actually black.
