Hello to all. I made my first post this afternoon after a lot of encouragement from EX JUNK! Jim and I have been friends for near 50 yrs! He moved in our neighbor hood about 1963-64 He had a killer 51 chevy coustom at the time. He would LET me polish the engine chrome.
As I started looking for a project I saw all the "kits" Speedway, Sprit, Superior Glass. I liked the Superior the best, however the cost to ship($2000.00) could be used in better ways. So I gave Jim a call to get his ideas and he turned me on to a guy he had worked with who had a 27 T. Dino started this project about 10 yrs ago. With working more overtime and 3 kids he just ran out of time. Dino fab everything himself tube chassis, independent front end suspension. I have been working on the chassis, plumbing the brakes, trans cooler, gas tank running battery cables. All that doesn't sound like much, unless you have not done this before. The next order of business was to cut in the trunk lid and the doors. I am working on that as we speak. I will try to get more pictures up for you all to analyze and comment on. Thanks for the interest -Ken
