Bought this 1929 Essex about 7 or 8 yrs ago. Was building up the funds for it until '06 when we bought our Chevelle Wagon, putting the Essex on the back burner. Finally starting to think more about it and would like to start working on it within the next year. Thinking about doing a resto rod type of build. Nothing crazy as I'll put some miles on it. Motorvation is likely to be a Pontiac 350 that I took out my LeMans backed up by a 200-4R with a 9" out back. Independent front suspension will keep the front wheels planted and set-up a lowered stance. Top will remain unchopped, the doors are suicide from the factory, and the fenders will stay on. I picked up some seats for it out of a Sebring Convt. as they have the seat belts built in and and tilt forward making access to the back seat easier.
Suggestions and ideas are welcome as nothing is set in stone yet.
