54 chevy need advise

[lucky]

hey guys i was givin a 2 door coupe - I'm looking for a back window - by the way
second - i would like to hit up a few of the old sckoooolers --- I'm thinking i want to build this car as a Newstagic fuel type car for the street - I was thinking of tubbing it- on parralell leafsprings , straight axle ( which is what i need guidence with ) as i never have set one up from scratch before and i usually do things the hard way and cannot afford to do this again lol ! I have a 91 chevy small block and building a very mild blower motor - i wish i could build a old hemi for it but can't do it right now ! so if any one has any experience in what i described i would appreciate - the ins and outs of setting a street car up with a straight axle - yes i'm aware it will handle like shit - its all about the theme :)

The nice Panteras seem to be pushing the 60's and 70's... a nice Cougar in the teens... unless it's a 427 side oiler... and those nice are 50K to 100K... :2purples:

Good source for old stuff. It's been good to me over the years....it's helped me do a number of cars. My latest project will need a little TLC before it hits the street. Will be picking it up tomorrow. Numbers matching, original CA car.

Yeah, I've been looking forever for just the right deal. Been trying to buy a 68 XR7 from a bud of mine that's in primer. Perfect original interior, motor, automatic etc. He has had it stored for 15 years. I had it bought, but his son, who knows nothing about cars is saying he wants to redo it and do the paintwork HIMSELF!!! This car is near mint except for the spray can primer :mad: and the only reason he is doing that is to change the color, which will still be the old color on the door jambs, under the hood, and inside the trunk... Freakin' dumbasses. :mad: :mad:
