    I picked up a 54 from a stand up guy out here in Vegas a few months back and I am finally on the move to finish the car. The majority of the bodywork is done next is the bag work then.....

    here is a before picture as it sat when I got it (yellow)

    Then the car now in primer.


    Great to be here!

    p.s. Ever since I got it and started working on it I had always envisioned that car in pearl white.
    Let me know if you have any questions on it. (It's history)

    Thanks,
    Nate

    DANG. That is looking good. Looks like you have plenty of skill to knock it all out.
    Have you thought about chopping it yet?
    Looks like your missing the left exhaust. Everything O.K. with that?

    Chopping the top is an option but I think I like the way it looks with the full top-
