    Did a little polishing of the stainless and chrome last weekend. The EdSled is starting to shine.

    Very clean. How is it lowered? Planning out my own '59 and I'm curious.

    Also, I like the two tone paint inside the front fender trim, they didn't do that stock and I was wondering how that'd look, might have to steal that for mine.

    Squablow: I have air bags on the ole girl. I thought the paint on the cove looked like it stopped short at the front door so it seemed only natural to paint the spear, especially since it was concaved.

    Drew: Just stainless/chrome polish with a dremel and elbow grease.

    Did it on the car with tape. The grill was the most time consuming.

    Very nice looking car, great stance - I now see Edsels in a much different light seeing your car. Very nice, indeed ....

    Thanks for all the compliments. I think I'm about done with the outside for now, on to the inside and trunk.

    60widewhitez: No not white but cream. I don't know the name of the color it was on there when I got the car.
