Lets get ready to rumble

[rusty rodder]

And here we go, as most of you know now i acquired a 54 chevy 2dr recently and decided to dig in today! After much thought of where to begin I started with that nasty headliner....(car looked like bigfoot with a tank top on) thats how bad it was. So I take out all of that mess then still not satisfied with my progress for the day.

What to do? what to do?


Lets dig up under that floor mat to see whats under there. HELLO looks like some new floor pans are needed. (should have left well enough alone).

As of right now Im still working on getting that material up then its time to weld. I have pics that I will post soon and I will keep you updated!

Getting started is always exciting but it feels even better when all the rot is fixed. Good luck.

Great choice for a build! I`ve got a pair of 54`s myself. One will be straight axle gasser. I`ve not decided how to go on the other one, and I can`t wait to see more of your build!
