It took us almost 4 hours to get his frame, steering colum, pedals, master cylinder and brake booster. Not too bad for an old gimp and a greenhorn.
yeah the 50? Chevy will have a late model souped up engine with power steering and power brakes. Chad will pick up the frame tomorrow with my tow dolly.
If you don't like my dinged and dented hot rod sitting next to yours, put yours back on it's trailer and leave!

It will look traditional and even some what of a jalopy the way Chad talks but she will be safe, able to outrun most stuff on the street and still get better gas milage than just about anyone in the club. Now all he needs is AC and everyone will be fighting to ride shotgun when we go somewhere.
