Hey i know some will turn in there grave but when they see this but. Heres my 1932 chevy pieced together from nothing. I started off with just a 32 body and here she is. I up graded the brakes while keeping the traditional i beam. I went the "hotrod" route because i felt it would be least expensive and the safest. Brake are all hydraulic. No chop, just a different rear end. diff straight 6 and different manual tranny [img]http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=31688801&id=56503689[/img]
I couldn't open your Facebook either, but it doesn't matter. The VCCA doesn't sanction or approve of modified Chevies, and that is fine, but Chevies make interesting modifieds. Fords, with their mostly steel bodies have aways been easy projects for rodders. Chevies, with a lot of wood are more challenging, and look better anyway, so they NEVER showed up in Hot Rod Magazine. I think that the early Chevies that have been hot rodded would never have been restored. I really don't have a problem with that.

I could see the video alright...what there is of it. It's kind of just one viewing angle. Still pics shot under more light would be better! Body looks mostly straight. At least somethng survived the fire. Nice that you're keeping a six in it rather than some big V8.
I guess there's some argument for upgrades in terms of things like brakes if a restoration to original factory condition isn't on the table. In terms of making it 'safer', like something approaching that of today's cars, or even something earliier like the 60's...compared to the original 32's engineering...what I gather, is that a whole lot of upgrades would be required, including chassis and wheels. Cars that happens to become so far away from being their original creation that... . Having fun though, is the name of the game.
