Thanks Jonathan - it would be sweet to cruise to your swap meet. Sounds like fun.

Car looks amazing, you nailed the stance and the wheels, I'd leave the color, its timeless. you keeping the 3 on the tree?....3 on the floor would be cool for low $$

Re: 1960 Biscayne
 

Yep, doesn't get much better than that!

A couple of things hit me over the weekend - out of the harshness of the fluorescent lights of the shop and in the sunshine, the blue comes alive and it does an excellent job of accentuating Lola's lines and curves.

The other thing that was interesting was the reaction of people when they saw the six cylinder in there. I overheard on guy saying he expected to see a small block in there and thought the six was a nice surprise. But the six is soooo slow. I didn't want to do the cruise on the track for fear of getting run over. It also doesn't have the right sound for the way it looks, IMHO.

I can live with it the way it is for a while with a cut and buff, but the paint has some bubbles and chips that need to be fixed. I would really like to do some things like Cruisin the Coast and Power Tour, and that means a new engine and transmission with overdrive.

Wow, that is one nice 60 Chevy! My first car was a 60 Olds Dynamic 88. Great car, wish I still had it!

Re: 1960 Biscayne
 

Thank you.

These are time machines, for sure.

Such a gorgeous car, I have a 59 pontiac 2 door and a 4 door, love the bubble tops and fins. Just need more of everything to be able to work on them.

Re: 1960 Biscayne
 

Hey Steve, You still have this old time machine? Anything new on it?

Re: 1960 Biscayne
 

Very nice! We want one....Would love to see any updates.

Re: 1960 Biscayne
 

I see this thing all the time parked up at the cvs in Haughton

Re: 1960 Biscayne
 

Wow, 2 years and no updates? Did it find a new home, or did it stay put and get a motor/trans swap???

Re: 1960 Biscayne
 

this is an amazing car!! I am very interested because i am trying to decide on interior options for my 60 parkwood. I have talked to 3 local upholstry shops that would do the complete interior, and i just got samples from ciadella that i am loving. Only thing with their stuff is i have to install it all.

Re: 1960 Biscayne
 

Yes I do still have her. She's been sitting around waiting for her turn. I actually had purchased an LS1/4L60 for her and that wound up going in Ruth. I'm gathering parts, but as you know I have bought another one....

None coming soon, but may start a build thread soon on the car above.



No updates. Saving up to do her justice. Stay tuned.




I installed mine and I had never done it before. A local shop can install the seat covers for you and that's the hardest part. Tell Gina at Ciadella that Steve said hi.

Gina at ciadella is great help. They sent me a bunch of samples and they look great. Though i am likely to go with a local company here called www.sewntight.com . I kinda like the idea of dropping off a stripped out car and piciking up a car with an all new interior. They do great work and win lots of shows. A lot of their stuff is very street rod looking, but i have seen some original style stuff they have done and it is all extremely nice looking. Their out the door price all installed and ready to drive is only about $700 more than the price from ciadella that is just all the materials showing up at my door. Hard decision.

Re: 1960 Biscayne
 

Would love to see a build thread on your new one. Looks really nice! A 59 is on our short list.

Re: 1960 Biscayne
 

There will be one started soon. I've ordered some floor pans for it. The only bad places in it are in the deep foot wells those things have. New interior, fresh paint, not too sure what I'll do after that. Want to drive it this summer.

Re: 1960 Biscayne
 

This is going to get good!!

Re: 1960 Biscayne
 

Yep, she drives the wheels off it. We are fixing the air/heat in it tomorrow. The control panel went out.

Re: 1960 Biscayne

Re: 1960 Biscayne

Re: 1960 Biscayne
 

What the story on the big block?^^^

Re: 1960 Biscayne
 

This BB used to be my in my 69 Camaro. I sold it to Kyle since he wanted to put a BB in Lucy, but Kyle sold Lucy and this was pushed to a corner. He asked me if I knew anyone looking for a BB and after a bit of talking about it I came to the realization that Lola would be a good home for it.

As you can see, it now has the V Trac belt system on it now and he threw in a freshly built 700R into the equation, so it was just too good of a deal to pass up.

Re: 1960 Biscayne
 

Yeah buddy lets get it done!!

Re: 1960 Biscayne
