1953 Chevy Belair Custom Hot Rod
May, 2010

May 22nd markes the 20TH ANNIVERSARY of my owning this incredible car. Yeah, you read right kats and kittens, I bought this baby back in 1990 for 500 clams. She'd been sitting for 10 years, had bald tires, a water-damaged interior, rust galore and no brakes, but she started up and ran like a clock. I believe the odometer read around 51,000 miles, original.

Today she is rust-free with a custom body and (almost) new interior, the original six has been worked and she's running on a healthy 12 volt system. I just completely rebuilt the brake system from master cylinder to drums, and put a new hi-torque starter on the original six. Now that old 53 Chevy hot rod is runnin' better than ever! Going to take her out for a victory lap on May 22nd, like I did 20 years ago.
