So I finally got around to adding my pics of my 55 from start to pretty much finished. Check them out in my albums, let me know what you guys think... A little history is that i bought this car from my uncle who owned it for 18 years prior. I drove it for a year and then decided to fix the hole in the dash from a tach, and little things and just throw some paint on it. Well as I know and all of you know one things leads to another. Found a hole in the quarter so i did the quarters, etc. This is the first car I have restored, and i have never down body work or painted before. I had help over the phone from a good friend on how to paint and do body work. Everything went well with that. The pics of the car in my driveway is where i painted it no tent or anything, and the paint came out extremely good, had a few painters look at it after and said it came out good. I decided to tackle the interior my self and with the site and specially terry i was able to do everything from headliner to refoaming the seats to the covers. The motor was a small block that i decided to rip out and sold it back to my uncle that i bought the car from, and put in the 402 bbc. Some know my story about wiping the cam on start and i had to have the whole thing rebuilt again. Went with a full roller and well worth it. any how i wanted to give a Big THANK YOU to all tri-five members for support and help. Thank you eveyone.
