    Thanks Nitro, I have pics of it now somewhere. it's about 70% done now. It's original 56 beige and GM gold wheel color. Carl wanted it two toned. originally the car was all beige. Carl is 76 yrs old and all ford! He picked out the brown-gold color off a paint chart. I shot it , then told him it was a GM wheel color!:D He's still cussing me. LOL. But he loves it. He said he just got tired of seeing red and white , green and white blue and white ect all the time. I'll try and find some current shots of it. This car was a total rust bucket. I burnt a lot of wire on this thing. I understand how much work it is to do one of these things, lots of parts to one of these old fords. More than most people think. I applaud you on your car, excellent job! Lippy

    Looks friggin' awsome, pretty much rthe same vision I have for my 55 customline. I was going with off white with a light green( think 67 mustang green) roof and wheels. Maybe even 1 scallop in green behind the front wheel opening. Well, your pics inspired me, time to change into the work clothes and head to the garage.

    Ya gotta tell where you got the rear tail lights. I have a 55 Customline and mine are mostly rusted away plus they don't extend out at the top like that.
