    Yeah, he makes me jealous with his skills.... Todd and TomCat(painter that did the lace, panels, hand lettering and stripping) did it all in his garage at home in like six months from this.

    Thanks very much. I am terrible at taking pictures, but here are some more. One shows the interesting gauge cluster on the dash. It appears to be custom made for a 55/56, and I have never seen another like it. The side view shows the radiused wheel wells. The engine is a mix of 70s (valve covers and Weiand Xcelerator) and 80s (the braided hose which is next on the list to go). The last shows the car and the girl who puts up with my car :)

    Just picked up a new project this week. This car has been covered in this yard since 1972. Going to get her home and start working on her next week. ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1374932070.157871.jpg ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1374932092.452691.jpg

    Thanks guys
    Quick update, moved the 55 out of the garage today under it own power. Had to sit on a couple moving blankets, the front seat at the upholstery shop. Ron. [​IMG]
