    I thought I was the only one that used block on block and "cribbed" up a body off. I wouldn't go under it until you frame it up a bit.

    Why is the body so high? Can you explain the rear suspension set up?

    Nice '55(6)!

    12bolt chevy rear with the 4link brackets

    almost all the rust is welded on the frame now, before, it was VERY rotten at two spots. that feels good! just waitin for the 4 link then the rearaxle will be set in place.

    thanks for now from sweden // M
