    For the last several years I have slowly been building a 1940 chevy 2 door sedan. I traded for the car despite my better judgement telling me this was going to be a shit build and It has been 2 years in the making for it to still be a roller in my garage lol. I have attached some of the pics of the progress of the build in some what of a order.

    when i got the car some one else had started the project as a rat rod which was my intentions to finish it as but I had to fix some of the sheet metal issues the car had. It had also been set on a s10 chassis and it wasnt the best job. I sub framed it with a nova rear steer clip to fix the issues the org frame had.
