I have the eastwood tool and one of the best tools I have bought. Brake flaring has never been good for me but this made it a breeze

Thanks everyone, it's not going to be as ratty as some but it's not a show car either. Going to be a nice satin painted driver. Not sure if he still plans to do the racing numbers and old school race theme or not. Sometimes he wants to and sometimes not.

Also I tend to post a lot more on Instagram just because it's so easy, my name on there is chopped31sedan

Been a long time since a update, I took the body over to my uncles garage which is across the street from my house. It's where I do most of my work. Anyhow took it their in July and planned to knock it out quicker being right at my house but still not done with it. These old Chevys are a bear...

I may have a handle for you, will check when I get out to the shop tomorrow

Thanks Yankee transplant, it is my buddies and he is building it at my shop. Going to be pretty wicked when done.

A couple updated pics and a quick YouTube vid from my Instagram account @chopped31sedan http://youtu.be/WT8sgBC7KEw

I saw it on Craigslist for sale but it's been a while

Thanks fellas, the build has went from a rat rod to a more traditional rod. We will being painting the body a burgundy and finishing off all the bodywork. He has had other projects, one being the elcamino in the background that have not been completed. So we figured we would finish this one off...

Well as most people know life gets in the way of some things and building cars are one of them. Anyway we have had a lot going on and just got back on the car the other weekend. We decided to get the engine up and running to check leaks and what not. Here is a quick video and sorry forgot to...

I would check track widths on your scout vs s10 and camaro and see which one is going or fit better. I have a 61 f100 unibody and picked up a camaro subframe, s10s are too narrow for these trucks but hopefully you can use the s10. It will be easier to find and cheaper

Thanks sunnybeach, yea if anyone can guide me to a build thread or more info that would be great and 440clark a ford 9" out of a 79f150 will get you that body hugging look. That's what I'm running on mine.

Sweet, getting right on it and getting it done.

That will look sick, reminds me of a Land Rover village customs built and he is building a jeep wagoner now. Both of them on the ground and look badass

Awesome, nothing like that first time around the block or wherever you go. It seems like everyone I know has transmission gremlins on a new build. When I got mine running it would puke out all over the floor at night. Ended up being the dipstick gasket.

Here is a 5.3 v8 bug that my buddy is building. We have about three Saturday's in it so far. Getting ready to bring it over to my garage to really go to work. Setting engine in to see how much chop can be done because we are going big lol Marked out for four inches out the side Next started...

Any new pics of the build,I want to see this thing done

No idea what year it is, I just thought it would make a awesome truck. Would have liked to have gotten it my self but didn't bring the trailer and have to fix my daily lol.

Glad to see someone building one of these, I came across one at the swap meet this weekend and thought about how badass it would be to build a diesel dually. Here is the one for sale

I agree with rusty, if it's built with the right look and done to quality their will be money to be made. I have had quite a few offers lately for my sedan that have put me in a 5000+ profit but I'm not ready to get rid of the car. I'm just getting to enjoy it and actually still working some...
