thanks for all the compliments guys.

jared, the engine is a 261 inline 6 out of either a 54 or 55 chevy truck. this is what it came to us with and waht we left it with. it was actually a fairly popular upgrade as it had lots more power than the stock 216. most people think we need a big V8 in it, but thats not very original at all!!! my dad and I wanted it to be original, so we left it as is. lots of people like to put the bodies on old Mustang II or even 80's Monte Carlo chassis' and put big V8's in them... but thats not the way we wanted to go. we wanted to go as original as possible.


as for the color scheme, i've heard that they could come that way and that they didn't. you still see several around like that regardless. thats the way my uncle jerry had it painted before we got it, and we loved how he had it painted so thats what we did :).



i drove it to school monday... it really turned heads :)

Nothing wrong with staying original, its good to see them the way they was back then. :thumbsup

Those Inline 6s will pull.

It could be a big sleeper with a V8, with its orginal look.l :mrgreen: :idea:
