Your car looks GREAT! Keep posting the progress!


Love it!

Greg, your right on "lots of good memories" All of us have memories of cars we or someone else had and all we did with them. A lot of us either have or want some of those "memory" cars. That's why we ended up with this Chevy II.
Here's a pic of another Chevy II had back in the mid 70's.
NovaNutCase - notice that one didn't have a post.



And here's the current Chevy II project a few years back of my boy getting the smoking addiction too.

Looks nice! Hard to beat those II's. Have always liked those as well!

Here's one of me some 40 years ago....


I've inhaled that smoke of which you spoke...

that there is one cool idea. I too love the bodies of the chevy IIs

You've got a sweet ride there. Thats a great idea on the inside of the door. What size is your garage? I'm thinking of putting a beam in for a trolley like you have, what did you do to support it?
The paint looks great.

Garage is 24' x 32', never big enough. Did did use storage trusses. That's getting full of junk (good stuff) up there, and keeps stuff out of the work space.
Trolley is supported above with a long pipe running crosswise to the trusses.
Thanks, Jim

That is a cool idea and great use of those valve covers .

What primer is that on the car?
