Going to get my '51 Chevy Roadworthy

[Matt167]

I was going to take out a small loan to finish my Rat rod, or buy a newer truck to increase my credit. stopped in a small dealer which also sells some restored vehicles showcased in the showroom. The truck in the back corner is not for sale, tho I went in and looked at it again as I have several times. 1954 Chevy 3100 factory dump, 3spd on the column. near showroom condition. Figured out that I just need a cool old vehicle to drive around. Other dealer has a '76 Fiat Spyder but they werent open ( probably for the best ). So it came to me to just put the old Chevy togther and just drive it. It's far from perfect, the color did not come out right ( rose colored rather than a grape purple and it does photograph pink), which was why I sort of lost interest. But, it's just what I need and it does need less work than the Beetle to get road ready. So I stopped at TSC for a 6V battery and some Shell Rotella T1 30W oil, got a set of points and condensor at my local autoparts store. Have some 14" S10 ralley's I'll mount some cheapo tires, repair the exhaust. Have to recheck the brake system ( was rebuilt, but it has sat ), change the fluid's and put some plates on it.
