Snappytravis 51 Chevy

[snappytravis]

Should call this project add, 18 years ago I did the bodywork on this car for the previous owner. I ended up owning it not in a good way. I hated this car out of spite. Everytime I looked at it I thought How in the hell do you make a 51 chevy styline cool. So around the first of october I drug it out and did a little work, brakes, carb, fuel pump, It actually ran pretty smooth and I decided to do something with it if nothing else get all the parts back on it and try to sell it.
Then I went to the sema show at the end of october and saw a sweet 51 style chevy pickup. It was a flat silver with red interior. Bingo, I was on to something. I am not crazy about the ratrod cars I like a little more paint then rust, So I used hotrod flatz silver, Bright red on the dash. Red wheels with cop style hubcaps. I replaced the headliner and all the glass except rear window. New weatherstrip and lowered it in the front about 2 inches. I know it's not a camaro or chevelle. Just wante to post a few pictures of something a little different. Should be a nice little summer cruiser.http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r638/snappytravis/1951%20chevy/photobucket-55295-1361068455088_zps6e64789a.jpg http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r638/snappytravis/1951%20chevy/photobucket-62065-1361068447460_zps73b39f80.jpghttp://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r638/snappytravis/1951%20chevy/photobucket-68898-1361068445118_zpsba6734e3.jpghttp://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r638/snappytravis/1951%20chevy/photobucket-67398-1361068450864_zps1583314b.jpghttp://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r638/snappytravis/1951%20chevy/photobucket-60373-1361068448612_zpse42aea87.jpg[IMG]http:

That right there is nice. As a car guy, I like lots of makes and models. The paint with the red accents makes it really cool. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I'll come right out and say I dig it. Looks like a fun car to drive around, they can't all be fully built monsters anyway. Variety is important.

Thanks, I am working on a 69 camaro as well, I was a little burned out and give the old car a simple workover, It has been fun, I am waiting on the seats and door panels. They will be done in red vinyl, It will be fun to drive steers so easy, and the sixer runs like a sewing machine. Hopefully I will be driving it by this summer,:thankyou:

Hot rods come in all shapes and colors, glad to see your finishing it. Always like those old chevy's. My 56 is a cruiser but may grow up to be a track car. That's if I ever get the camaro finished.

Great job on yours.
