Ride Details
What was the inspiration?
After lost my 1953 Chevy 210 club coupe when I caught fire in my garage last year I searched everyday online all over the country for 14 months . I wanted something that already has a LS swap and a good start on everything else so I could just hop in a drive and enjoy it from day one while I worked on it .
How long did it take you to build?
I didn’t build the truck , I bought it pretty much completed already I just finished the interior and did some other detail items And fixed some stuff on it .
How long have you been building?
I’ve been building for 25 years , bought my first mini truck when I was only 14 to build and I’m 39 now
Club Affiliations

I’ve been in the club since 2000
Your future plans?

Thanks to
My dad for riding with me on the 22 hr round trip drive strait there and back to bring the truck home when I bought it and for helping me work on it .
