Slick 60's

i even pancaked the roof cuz the forehead was to tall for my taste.







This car is going to be a full on custom. Not a single panel left untouched. Frenched, louvered, spliced, tucked, lenghtened, shortened...... you get the idea. It already has a 318/4 speed. It will probably get an s-10 subframe instead cuz of room for the gearbox and headers. She got put on hold cuz of funding. The mainline is chaper and has almost all of the parts so it will be chaper to build. After it is sold though.... i will be able to build 2 more!

still have plenty more, but this will probably be the last i post. A 67 suburban. Use to be a 4x4. I had no idea till i was removing tape from the headliner and it exposed the t-case operation sticker! HA HA! By then i had already subframed a 75 gmc and done an axle over in the rear! OOPS! HA HA!

This will be the everyday driver while the truck is down getting redone. Has a newly rebuilt 0 mile trans, 20k motor. I traded a truck for the cab and frame, and had the front clip off of another wrecked truck i had. So i have $50 in parts into this so far. Needs a windshield, driveshaft, lots of body work ( you can see the left side here ) and some wiring done. Nothin much. Again, waiting on money!

so i lied. Here is another. 72 caddy front wheel drive big block on airride. I had to build an airride kit for it.

Choptvan,

Good metal work. Looking forward to seeing the work you have planned for the Slick.

Nice Work!!! The Packard in your fist couple of pics...Is that a newer GM 4.2l I6 sitting in there?

that just touches the iceberg. I still have a 1940 gmc cab and front clip, 1930 chevy sedan ( 2 door ), 1949 truck, 1952 truck, 1937 chevy 2 door sedan, 1966 f100, and a 1947 for 2.5 ton taker truck. My shop truck is a 1963 ford f250 with a 390 and a 4 speed. My girlf riend has a 1964 ford galaxie wagon. 390 4 barrel, for the family car. I have alot goin on, but it is all very manageable. Most of the cars are for the buisness to build anyway. So they are an investment.

Very impressive work, Choptvan! And quite the collection of vehicles you have. Keep the pictures coming too.....I like what you are doing. You must of been the one that came up with that slogan of "No Fear"!
