    That ****s having to sell the 32 so you can build the 55 !
    I hope you are going to put a Ford under the hood of that 55 . I also have a 55 fordor . So if you need to find parts I will be happy to help you . As long as you don't have to replace the dogleg and area on the rear doors you will be fine . I needed a dogleg and couldn't find anyone that made the . I had to buy a tudor dogleg and cut it up and make it fit . Then make the rest . Is a lot of work but I had no choice .

    Your 55 doesn't look that bad either unless there is something we can't see . So what engine and drive train do you have now and what are you going to be using ? if you have a 272 Y block , KEEP IT ! You can always have it re bored to a 292 if you are going to rebuild the engine .

  8. thanks bondojunkie. i kinda like it myself.
     
  9. it has the 272 /292 Y block. the only plans i have for the car are to lower it 2 inches , put a visor on it , fender skirts and drive the hell out of it . it runs/drives perfect . i dont want to change anything except update the electrical system to 12 volt.
