The Beginning

Taking off the front clip. There is a lot of surface rust, but overall the body is in great shape. It will need rear quarters and a partial floor pan.

The straight six and power glide trans have no value to us and will be listed on craigslist in hopes of selling it as a combo. The engine will not turn over. Probably rust from the years of sitting.
Not sure about the condition of the trans.

Right now the plans are to have a small block with 4l60e trans built and installed. We are still talking about whether to go carb or injected.

Towing the '53 to the tear down location.
