Our 1930 Chevy Coupe AD Universal build
My brother and I picked up this 1930 Chevy Coupe from a neighbor for $3500.00 on Sept, 23, 2012. After poking around on it for awhile and realizing that many of the prats where from various years (1929 thru 1931) we decided it was going to get hot rodded. I have attached many photos here of the build that has been taking place on Saturdays since Sept 23rd. You can find many more photos here http://www.deepsand.net/1930chevy
New Total Cost involved rear steer independent front suspension tacked up.
Cab off..
In the process of boxing the frame , we already have a new title (we didnt have any vin or title info to start with) VIN stamped on frame.
Found a Chevy Blazer with a nice 327 with Edelbrock intake manifold and carb for $1000.00. Sold the blazer for $950.00...Motor for $50.00 sounds good to me.
Found a Ford 8" rear end for $125.00 that has the perfect offset....no modification necessary. Well we will be changing the gears.
New Total Cost Involved 4 link suspension with coilovers.
Cross bracing and brake booster installed..
Custom Trans mount and drive-shaft throughput.
Cab back on the frame....ready for the next step (which was completed this weekend) channeling the cab 3".Last edited by deepsand; 10-29-2012 at 02:23 PM.

I bought a '32 Ford pickup the same day you bought this and all I've done is look at it! I'm trying to sell a '71 GMC I got with it first. Good work. Keep it up!'35 Ford coupe- LT1/T56, '32 Ford pickup, 70 GTO convertible, 06 GTO

1930 Chevy coupe trunk lid
Does anybody know off hand if a trunk lid from a 1931 Chevy coupe will fit on a 1930 Chevy coupe? We are considering modifying a fiberglass rumble seat trunk lid to fit on our 1930 coupe that originally had a standard trunk.

Sweet project. Was this the original frame? Sure looks in great shape, especially for the year.Too old to work, Too poor to quit.
