Re: 1955 Chevrolet Q/SA Build
Another big hurdle done today with the refurbished frame found a home under the nice and shiny body. I lost some sleep over this one trying to figure out how to get the body high enough to get old nasty frame frame out, and new one back under. Went off without a hitch.

Re: 1955 Chevrolet Q/SA Build
Lewis, I used a 12 bolt out of a 60s Impala. Trimmed off the Impala control arm stuff, and welded on the leaf spring perches. Need to run a 5.86 gear in this thing and I don't think the center drop rears went that high. Hope to have this jewel rolling under its own power later in the week. Finishing up the interior trim today. Found the last outside stainless trim I needed at a local swap meet on Sunday. More pics to follow in a few days..
