    Nice car! We restored one for a Sheik in Suadi Arabia through Auto port. By the time it made it back half the chrome needed to be retouched due to salt water and a sand storm. Still a neat car custom or original. Did you keep the hood side opening or flip it forward?

    Givin' up on my 51'. Pulled the head last weekend and can't justify putting the $$$ it's gonna need into a 4-door. It's for sale and cheap!

    I got a 52 super that I bought at BACK TO THE 50s last year, I've since bagged it and threw on a $80 paint job. What a blast.

    Working on my 50 super on and off for about 3 years, I seem to spend more time driving it then working on it. I'm going to run the exhaust out through the bumper where the back up lights are and add a flame thrower probably about it for a while. I'd like to suicide the rear doors eventually.
