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 didnโ€™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?
Iโ€™ve been building for 25 years , bought my first mini truck when I was only 14 to build and Iโ€™m 39 now
Club Affiliations
Negative camber

Iโ€™ve been in the club since 2000

Your future plans?
Drive the heck out of it lol ! Maybe do different wheels and tires one day , not sure tho
Vehicle history

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 .
