Flatland Shooter Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Jim, You sir are a dedicated restorer. I restored an old jeep years ago that was described as 4 wheels and a pile of rust. Compared with what you are starting with, that jeep now seems like a piece of cake. Do keep us up to date with pictures. We want to see your magic.

Dan Sierpina Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Jim, A 10 year old car from up here in New England has more rust than that!!! What's going to be the powerplant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 That chain looks decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhgtyre Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Thank you for posting those pictures. You have completely changed my outlook regarding the condition of my wife's 1955 F-250. Compared to your vehicle it looks showroom new. Not as nice as that chain in your pic though. -ld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 MAN, that is real optimism....keep us posted...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentlemanJim Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 Trust me ..I can do this The chassis is first on the list...as I gather more body parts. The left front rail is not repairable and I will have to replace it with another. Front cross member is missing I will use one from a 1932. Power? Well I have small and big block chevy engines. I also have a 1956 chrysler hemi but it will cost a ton to build. the chassis will be repaired boxed and have all holes welded up solid. Suspensions will be coil over rear and 4 bars, front axle will be 1932 ford, rear will be 1967 camaro 10 bolt 3.73 ratio. This isnt my first rodeo and I know it will take some time, I hope to drive this car by the end of summer but money will be a factor....ammo for the wife comes first Jim PS thanks for the interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
