52 Chevy Re-Build
About forty years ago my brother (now passed on) and I found a 1952 5-window Chevy Pick up in awful good condition. We stashed it away with the idea of restoring it...it has all original serial numbers. I have now retired and my oldest son and I are working on a restoration plan. He knows way more about this stuff and has great skills---welding, mechanic, etc. We're not really interested in the "purist" angle of original restoration and were thinking along the lines of "street rod" of sorts. I would like to use the truck when done to drive in my small sharpening business. At this point we're looking for ideas. One that my son had was to pop the body off and sit it down on the frame, engines, etc of another vehicle (maybe like an El Camino). We'd love to hear any ideas out there. Meanwhile, we'll visit other posters to see if that sparks anything. Thanks and we look forward to some direction. Please feel free to email me with any suggestions. I will try to post some pictures as soon as possible. If there is anyone out there interested in the "all original serial numbers parts", please get in touch.
In my experience you need only two tools in the workshop: WD40 if it doesn't move and it should, and duct tape if it does move and it shouldn't. .
