EVELYN #1 - My 1931 Chevrolet Hotrod Tub - Build Video #1 of #193 !

Over 9 years ago I bought this old Chevy from a Farmer right off his front lawn.. It was named "Evelyn" after my grandmother who had recently passed away.. All of the really old stuff on it was sold-off as the plan was to make it roll once again using a combination of newer/safer parts hidden under It's Vintage Sheetmetal Shapes.. To make a long story short I once worked on it day and night and had it about 50% complete then had to put it away or risk losing it forever.. I never sold it.. But it remained completely apart a good 7 years plus+.. Now It's time to get it TOGETHER and ROLLING !.. This Summers PLAN (2010) will be getting the rolling chassis together with a running drivetrain so the Body can be completed this Winter.. Since most of the parts are here (just gotta find the little things) It should go together rather fast.. But again.. I have ALL WINTER -Rob

How could you do this to a gorgeous Depression era automobile that looked to be 90%+ intact???

@cobrachoppergirl - Because she was 99% ROTTED.. Chevy's are all wood inside.. there was no wood. All it was is sheetmetal leaning together.. either make all the stuff or let it rot into the ground..

@cobrachoppergirl 6:31 Holy crap was she gorgeous bone stock. Bonnie and Clyde era. Somebody is going to have to come along and bust their fucking ass to undo all the horror you've done to her and restore her to her back original condition now. Another piece of history slaughtered into oblivion by some shit stupid hillbilly hack job franken car.
