    That dash looks killer. The wheel is nice too! Are you planning on recovering the seat or planning anything else interior-wise?

    I'm thinking a trip to the flea market is in order to find a green Mexican blanket to match. :p

    Mike...not much going on with the 58...

    I bought a 62 Falcon for my daughter about a month ago and am spending most of my time on it...

    I did pick up some pretty cool pieces at a swap meet last weekend that I'm going to try to incorporate into the 58...I think you guys are gonna dig it...

    Thanks !!! The bumper is off of a 58 Impala....
