Re: 59 Chevy Build
Man that's looking really nice!! I like your wheels and the way they are tucking inside your rear fenders.

Re: 59 Chevy Build
Well it has been a few since I have posted on here...........I am at that point that most of the work is slow and doesn't really show a lot of progress. However, I did manage to take some readers advice and moved the pivot points of the 4 link. Additionally, I started to fabricate the cross members and box some more of the frame. I plan to have the frame completly boxed by this weekend................

Re: 59 Chevy Build
I went with the boyd coddington "junk yard dogs", 18 X 8 with 4.5" back spacing in the front and 20 X 10 with 6" back spacing in the back. I am going to change the rear tires because it appears that the front have more sidewall than the backs. ....................tires are the nitto 555's........I will post the size when and if I am ever satisfied with the size.

Re: 59 Chevy Build
Man, my wife would kill me if I put parts inside our house and on a bed. Either you’re not married or you have one great wife! The builds looking really good, keep up the good work!

It is the latter.........my wife is very tollerable with my "habits"....I am a toy junkie. She will sand, grind, and strip paint when ever needed. Anytime that I reference "we" on this build, it is just her and I doing it. She did just say today...."I think this will be the last build we do"..............I just nodded and said, "you missed a spot"............life is good!.............. ![]() |

Re: 59 Chevy Build
