[@jacqeusmouton4005]

Did this very thing last year with a beat-up old '57 here in South Africa! Dropped it on Jag suspension with bags, threw in a cheap 350/350 combo along with glass and drove it 600 miles to our dry lakes...epic trip.

[@thatmaverickguy859]

Any vids of the car?

[@jacqeusmouton4005]

@@thatmaverickguy859 Photos only. Although there is a video of another truck I built under "Patina, 1956 Chevy stepside". Very much the same thing...

Most people don't know but SA has some of the best musclecars ever. Like Euopean Midsized Sedans with US V8s. The V8 Sierra for example....

[@haroldstrickland8416]

Finnegan is so right. I've told my students that years from now few people will be restoring these cars produced now. Cherish those rusty relics while you can.

They're not going anywhere.

everyone said plastic bumper cars would be worthless but their time has come. Everyone remembers an old car from their childhood/teens and wants to relive A piece of that.

Hi I saw that yard again today. As I drive to (now) midland tx(was) Andrew's tx once or twice a week but never stopped because I'm a ford guy and thought all that was there was Chevy stuff BTW I meet your friends from flying sparks garage in Waxahachie a year or so ago Live yalls shows etc. Keep it up.

I want a 55’ make it looks factory on the outside but suspension wise it would be modern. Just something to cruise around in

[@lonecrusaider]

A LOTA OF MONEY! Not a little, A LOT!

[@briang4470]

Yeah, tri-5 cars are not cheap anymore, in my area a completely rotted out 4 door tri-5 shell goes for 5k missing everything, a 2 door shell even completely rotted will still pull 10k plus, it's actually ridiculous, you won't touch a driveable one in my area for less than 20k.

@@briang4470 You're right it is ridiculous, but you'd never guess how much I paid for my 56. They're still out there for good prices but it's a right time, right place, a little bit of luck & willing to travel to get it.

[@ryurc3033]

My 76 Chevy Silverado (454 th400) was dragged out of a fence row....it had 93 tags on it, I got it running, drove it for about 3 months, broke the rear end, and trans broke off the motor doing a burnout, so got a rear end, 4 speed swapped it, put on a stepside bed that was less rusty, and broke the trans doing a burnout....

Classic cars aren't polluters. The EVs pollute more. They're filled with plastic, the batteries can spontaneously ignite, and the cobalt used in any ev's battery is slave mined. Plus they're so full of computers that a glitch happening could kill you or others. EVs are disposable. Classic cars are forever.

[@jamescharlesl7662]

I think this pandemic has taught people the importance of multiple streams of income, unfortunately having a job doesn't mean security rather having different investments is the real deal.

[@albertgaspar627]

we just don't do enough to teach kids how to use money as a tool rather than a goal (as seen in many song videos). "side hustles" have been important since before they were called that. and the entire "buy low sell high" seems to be in short supply in a land of "retail therapy". PS: cryptocurrency tanked when inflation rose--exactly what it should not do if it's a good hedge investment. Even gold does better and all it does it maintain value (ie, you can buy a new Ford today with the same ounces of gold you could buy a new Ford in 1932--but not a new Lincoln today). Remember, fools and their money are soon parted, do not be the classic shoeshine boy handing out financial advice--that's the time to cash out, not in.

[@albertgaspar627]

@@lilorbielilorbie2496 I got my 442 recently from a seller going electric. If i was just going to commute the same path every day, I would get an electric, there's some neat gadgets there. but as a country, we're already browning the electric grid with AC use in the summer, and cryptocurrency requires mainframe computers that are REALLY going to tax the grid. So now add electric cars to that.... i had some argue that the cars will only charge at night (as if that matters) so I reminded them that many workplaces are establishing charging stations for employees there for 8 hours, and of course Amazon et al will be running delivery vehicles that'll need a charge. Better to just let folks work from home, but Big Business is invested in prime real estate to draw in customers and house employees. so they want to get their money back.

[@lilorbielilorbie2496]

@@albertgaspar627 And what people forget is that "something" has to make the electricity to charge your car. It's not like you can just park outside and hope a bolt of lighting hits your car and charges the battery. And that something is either wind, hydro, coal, or nuke. Two of which are known to be bad for the environment. I'll just stick with gas. I'm retired anyway so I really don't have a "daily " commute anymore.

[@albertgaspar627]

@@lilorbielilorbie2496 too true. and most of the wiring that goes from powerplant to wall plug is aboveground, and so what happens when there's a big storm and you need electric vehicles to get into the damage zone. I'm retired as well so I don't have a normal commute route anymore either. More time to catch the car shows though :)

Convert one to electric I'd like to see it done he'll use a 4 door

[@UmmYeahOk]

I’m currently doing this to a 57 bel air 4 door. My goal is to have a nice reliable family car that I can take to the grocery store, and pick up my kid from school in. The problem is a ton of car enthusiasts are against this sort of thing, so I am glad to have found your comment. You should’ve seen all the hate Project X got when Hot Rod did an EV swap to it. They literally made a million of these cars, and people don’t seem to want a four door for some reason. Plus, mine was a basic shell. No engine. No transmission. Not even a driveshaft. So it’s not like I’m molesting a rare museum piece. Poor car hadn’t been registered since 1971.

[@SoLDMG]

@@UmmYeahOk in my book, when you improve a car like that, you’re doing the car much more justice than someone who would let it sit for that long but put a normal powertrain in.

[@freemansgarage]

@@SoLDMG Either way the car just needs to get back on the road. It can always be swapped again.

[@UmmYeahOk]

@@freemansgarage agreed. It’s my car. If I ever sell it, the new owner can do whatever they wish to it. Put the standard LS that everyone else puts in these. At any case, it’s no longer rotting in a Texas field, and is getting a fully restored body. So it’s a win for everyone. It’s been said that you don’t ever own these. You are mere caretakers for the next person to continue caretaking.

[@freemansgarage]

@@UmmYeahOk I totally get it. I'm building a 56 in Texas right now. It's going to be gas, but it won't be an LS. Best of luck with your project.
