    looks like its coming together nicely. It takes time stick with it. although im only 22 have built a 1955 f-100, and in the middle of a 1955 bel air. I really like the progress. Looks llike you are taking time and doing it right.

    Cool Chevy! Looks like you've made some good progress on it already. Don't let it get buried too deep!

    Welcome to the HAMB! Looks like you made a great first step, buying a good solid car to start with! There are lots of parts and tons of info on them, you'll be on the road a lot sooner than many first time builders. Keep posting updates. Bob
