After successfully building an F100 for just $1,000, it would seem that building a 1954 Chevy would be a snap for $3,500. But it’s not that simple when you consider what Casey is going to do, as this project will include a very interesting chassis swap, chop top, air ride, interior, and more. While it will be a patina style build it is going to be cool as hell and something you could drive cross country with no issues. We dig these cars and this one is the perfect candidate for a chassis swap and rebuild. We approve, and can’t wait to see it come to fruition.
In this video, the first in the series, you’ll see Casey talking about the 1954 Chevrolet AND the donor vehicle which requires a lot of cutting and hacking but should be really interesting. If you start watching this video and are confused by the donor vehicle, stick with it. When Casey shows his blue daily driver classic Chevy pickup you’ll be amazed because nobody would know that it too has been chassis swapped if you look at it from the outside. This thing is awesome.
Stay tuned, because Casey is serious about the budget and sells as much as he can off the donor or project vehicle so that he can really make things work. On the $1,000 build, he even included a tools list and how much each of them cost. This guy is thorough.
