Reviving a 1938 Chevy Coupe: Restoration Project

💡The 1938 Chevy coupe has been in storage since 1966 and belongs to the same owner as a previous car we worked on.

🔍The car was originally used for hauling firewood, which is why the back was cut out and wood slats were installed.

🚗The car is in good condition with minimal rust, except for a small spot near the bottom. The interior needs some work.

🔧We clean the spark plug and get the engine running by pouring fuel down the throat. The car starts and runs well.

🛠️We plan to clean out the fuel tank and potentially replace it to ensure better performance. The tires may also need to be replaced.
