Thread: Our 1930 Chevy Coupe AD Universal build

Tweet

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".
