    Love it! There's more room for gauges in that dash..
    Wish I could take the Deals Wheels '57 off your hands to make room.

    That is neat Mark…..
    Looks good to me.

    Think anyone would notice ?

    Really like it Mark. Are those parade seats on the rear deck shelf? A place for the beauty queens to sit?

    Time to knock a wall down, and build onto your house.
    Decide which room you can do without....... In my house, the kitchen doesn't get much use.
    Selling one of your cars seems way too drastic.

    Shit can the kitchen - refrig is empty anyway.
    You can put the toaster on a work bench, that's all you use anyway.

    Congratulations on another addition to your collection. You are keeping our past history alive. I am not a great custom fan, but I appreciate what you are doing. No one should criticize you for what you are doing for all of us. I have seen some of the cars myself, and I fondly remember them.

    Just when you think Mark is maxed out on finding cool stuff. He adds another feather to his cap. And keeping everybody on the HAMB in envy. And wondering what`s next. Scan0851.jpg

    It looks a lot like a pre production Chrysler 300, one of Chryslers best looking cars of the 50’s. I’m not a fan of the canted lights, but with that grill it just looks right. You can just give me the 40 Ford Mark, I promise to take good care of it!:D:D:D

    Better fix that upper radiator mount that is coming off the rh side of the tank. The front just seems wrong for some reason. But I love the rest of the car including the color.

    I watched the auction but didn't check to see who was bidding. After your post about the other chevy custom a few weeks ago, I thought that's where your motivation was headed. :)

    Those are very nice! I tend to be a jokester and thought I was posting in jest.......
    But unknown to me, you were way out ahead of me. In hindsight, I think I have a vague recollection of you making calendars. But I only have 3 gray cells left and 2 of those are sick....... which makes me forget things.

    I'd like to revise my post. The calendars are a done deal........
    So where are you at with thoughts of a museum or some such?

    Reversed wheels and the valve stems must be on the back side of the wheels
