Default Snappytravis 51 Chevy

Should call this project add, 18 years ago I did the bodywork on this car for the previous owner. I ended up owning it not in a good way. I hated this car out of spite. Everytime I looked at it I thought How in the hell do you make a 51 chevy styline cool. So around the first of october I drug it out and did a little work, brakes, carb, fuel pump, It actually ran pretty smooth and I decided to do something with it if nothing else get all the parts back on it and try to sell it.
Then I went to the sema show at the end of october and saw a sweet 51 style chevy pickup. It was a flat silver with red interior. Bingo, I was on to something. I am not crazy about the ratrod cars I like a little more paint then rust, So I used hotrod flatz silver, Bright red on the dash. Red wheels with cop style hubcaps. I replaced the headliner and all the glass except rear window. New weatherstrip and lowered it in the front about 2 inches. I know it's not a camaro or chevelle. Just wante to post a few pictures of something a little different. Should be a nice little summer cruiser. [IMG]http:
