About my Other Chevrolet

Started life as 1939 Chevy sedan. Cut in two and streched 6ft. Top chopped door hinges and handles shaved. Rear fenders cut and widened 2 in. Electic windows,small block vortec with auto trans. Air ride sup, sits on american racing wheels with BF Goodrich tires.Shaved bumpers. Inside is two tone leather, front and rear heat and ac. front and rear stereo with tvs. has flat screen tv that is attached to center roll up glass. When glass up tv can be viewed in rear. Dakota Digital dash, tilt steering, power brakes and streeing Back up cam . Now for the bad part of this story . Sept 06 car was 2 days from being done at the upholstery shop. When in the middle of the night the shop burned to the ground with this car and 5 others inside. My girl friend and other close friends told me to junk it and start a new project. Thats when the STREET RODDER within me said rebuild it. So after almost 2 years and a lot of work the car was rebuilt. It was finished oct 4 2008 at midnight. On oct 5 I meet my pin striper in the parking lot of Texas Motor speedway where Goodguys Was holding the 16th Lone Star Nationals. He striped the car in the parking lot before I took it in to the show. The car won a Rodders Rep Award. Well worth the 5 years I spend on this car.
