Thanks Troy.

Like the '69 Firebird you're building, those 55-56 Fords are great looking but sometimes overlooked cars.

What's the build style? What kind of handling capabilities are planned? What powertrain will be used?

Its going to be a classic styled car kind of an art deco theme. Its got a front suspension that we built in house using GM spindles. The rear is just a parrell four link with a watts setup. It has air ride. ford 302 with an AOD transmission.

It's either post 24 or 85 that you're looking for Mario --- they're the two that show die grinders.....

Think you picked up the number of posts Troy had... which is 39...

I had nothing better to do this AM.... :rofl:
