Nice job im definitely going to keep an eye on this thread

 

Anyone want this??? I am selling the 1950, minus the LQ9.

included is all the sheet metal, perfect hood, IFS, wilwoodbrakes, airbags, posi rear end.

the frame has been stripped and painted with heavy equipment enamel...
shoot me a PM if you are interested.

 

i was hoping to see a finished product when i opened this

 

nope, my garage fell on it

 

that sucks man. pics?

 

I am back working on this!
I moved and had another garage that needed a roof...so a roof later I have a place to work on ol 50!

My goal is to get-er-done. not a show truck. need a simple truck to beat on and use.

I think I will need to swap to a LS1 oil pan to get real low.

Any tips or suggestions that will help me organize getting this done?

 

Didn't even know you had a old 50' chevy! Looks like a really cool project, as far as a oil pan I was looking in the gm performance catalog the other day and they sell a muscle car LS engine swap pan ($169 I think). I think it would have pretty good ground clearance I would guess. Anyway good luck on the build!
