Everybody that is currently building a car...

Very nice job on the dash and inside! Lots of hard work went into that!

And 4th I was able to move my steering column a little to the left to line up almost center with my seat.

The console in my 98 Blazer is, I think, about as narrow as I will find and a nice shape, but still too wide. I was thinking about taking it out to use for a fiberglass mold then sectioning it an extra inch or two down the middle. That might work ok :)

I just picked this up, 1952 Canadian Pontiac Chieftain (Yes they are the same body as a 52 Chevy). Believe it or not, this guy had to get rid of it because his buddy wanted it out of his garage. Rust on the rear wheel wells but rest is solid including the floors.

Made a little change to the '32 frame that will probably end up under the '30 coupe. The punched plates are compliments of Ionia Speed Shop.

Nice touch there Bob. those little details add up!

How many cars you got in the works Bob? Any more pics?

I agree Bob, nice touch.

Jack.

Now if I would have figured that out I may not have been through two divorces.**) Maybe on the next one.

Well, the Plymouth is gone to the upholstery shop. Put the '57 in the garage (after digging it out of a snowbank) and I'm going to spend the weekend playing with it!!!!

I got cold just looking at your 57...... Supposed to be 74 tomorrow 80 on Sunday......... Looks like you still have winter there.

Good to hear Dave. It'll be nice to see the old Chevy come back to life!

Had a fun day!!! Got that nasty looking front suspension off the '57 and started removing some of the other pieces from the front frame and firewall. Also got the glass and window regulators out of the driver's side of the car, did a bit of sanding to check out the condition of the sheet metal and spent way too much time drinking coffee and planning.......

Oh yeah, heat wave coming tomorrow!!! Forecast sez we might only be a couple degrees shy of freezing!!!!!

Gee,Dave,,not everyone can dig a 57 Chevy out of their snow bank...well done mate..It looks COOL..excuse the pun..

Things are starting to come together now but still have a long way to go. Dave I was trying to catch up to you but I think even on your slow coffee drinking days you are faster then me. Do you by any chance have any pics with the front end on the 36?
