Hey guys.....some jeep guy introduced me to his 27 chev build thread over here and I was hooked...I have a collection of jeep DJ models..(2WD flatfender aka Surrey jeeps or Dispatchers..)hence the name..

I picked this up at a local scrapyard a while back...


I am still attempting to ID it, I think it is a 31-33 Chevy truck cowl.. Someone tore off the door skins so I have to build doors now..

This also appeared in the same scrapyard...a hay wagon conversion of an older Chevy frame..


It is remarkably complete and solid.. Plans are to add a drivetrain from a 76 4 door Chevelle I have in the yard, Still in the planning stages as to what axle to use up front..I am leaning towards keeping the parallel leafs but using a different straight axle under it. Open wheel with cycle fenders to keep it legal, bobbed rear fenders, pickup bed, probably roadster pickup style. Not really low, need to drive it on local streets that look like bomb craters..

I'll have lots of newbie questions....This won't be a million dollar magazine cover car, just a safe, decent, hot rod with some rough edges that will get smoothed out as time goes by. I read the Felsen books as a kid, and always wanted one, now one shows up and I even own some metal fabbing stuff so it is possible! And yes, I know, nobody builds Chevy rods......

Pics link to a webshots album with many more pics....lots of jeep pics in my albums too if anyone is interested...
