Mr.Mk1’s 55 Chev Sedan

[Mr.Mk1]

Didn't need it, but too cheap & enough of it left, to leave it where it was.

Dead reg NZ new 1955 Chevrolet, 6 cylinder manual. Probably equates to a 210 model offshore. The last rego label reads 1979, was a donor for a 57 being put back on the road since the 90s.

The door cards, rear plate, air cleaner and gearbox are in the boot.

The floors are poked, as are some corners, sills and roof. Nothing horrendous. Under all the shite there are GM rubber floor mats which will have accelerated the rot.

My brother reckons he has a freshly rebuilt Blueflame 6 he inherited from a job years ago so thats what shall power it.

Plan is to just source all the missing parts and make the exterior look complete, make it start and stop. In the meantime it’s garden art! Have scored tail light surrounds, front and rear badges and surrounds, some interior trim and a front flasher we weren’t missing but the guy didn’t want. Ive got a few things on, so while it’s hard.. I’m trying to keep it at arms length. 

Some cool rubbish found so far:

Bloke up north had a fair few of the bits I needed so slid him some cash.
