52' Chevy Deluxe... just because...

[Chapelrose]

Being one of the newbs here this week, I've already had some request for "let me see what you're building bro"... lol... So I started this in March and have been plugging along in my spare time... hoping it won't take toooo long to drive around again... So enjoy the pics... slam them, praise them, steal them... whatever you can get from them... [

I used this kit here:

And yes... it's a 440 out of a 74' motorhome... I guess the price was right at the time... lol

Very nice![cl Love the shop, quite the rig you have there for pulling the front clip. What are the rest of your plans? Going for any body mods?
I am building a 52 coupe/sedan 2dr and I will be watching your progess.
Off to a great start![

Very nice

Shop and build. Let me guess this is not your first build [S
Is the that "one step" rust treatment? Or the like, looks much like mine.
That will be one fast chevy with a 440, i'm thinking 460 for my jimmy
Again, good work, waiting for the next installment [P

Hi Chapelrose. D'yaknow what I liked the best; not the super clean floors, not the new disc brakes, not the factory boxed frame, or the cool front clip remover sling, no, it was shoving a big old Dodge in a Chev. Right on!
Keep on tinkering.

I was sure surprised to see that Dodge in there. Wouldn't be my choice, but it's your car, and I do like different! That car is going to look awesome when you're done!

I've been using that Rust Converter from Eastwood... I used it on some other projects in the past and have no complaints about it... as long as you put on two coats and then paint over it... it seems to last... I've put a few things together before this one... this is the oldest on though.

I always had a thing for the Big Blocks... any of them work for me... and most people don't really chase after the odd stuff from Ford or Dodge, so they're easy to be had most of the time... BTW, that 460 sounds fun...

I just get tired of seeing 350 box motors in everything anymore... just trying to keep it interesting...
