That car is sitting on a ramp down into a lower level of the show area. It is a HIGH TRAFFIC area making it impossible to get pics. Believe me, I TRIED!!!!!

A harbor blue hardtop with a 350 crate motor, Tremec 5spd, disc brakes, tubular control arms, newer steering box and recently added Chrysler bucket seats. It is really a joy to drive!

Brian, great links and nice '57's your Dad has. I had my first accident in a '57. You are right, they aren't much fun to drive stock. I won't make that mistake again! lol

I appreciate your posting it, looks awesome!:thumbsup:

BBC71Nova 11-06-2008 10:59 PM

I'll try to get some pics in the morning. We've been getting there an hour before it opens to get pics before it gets crowded. Much easier that way :D .

Sorry Skip but it didn't work. Way to much foot traffic in that area. The first picture posted is far better than any of mine.

Very awesome car! Due to personal preference I might not have went with the stacks through the hood but it is still a very sweet ride.

John,

Was that pink Bentley the worst thing you ever saw done to such an expensive car?

And was the red paint on the '55 the main part of its wow
factor?

Thanks.

Ricochet 11-08-2008 08:39 AM

This was a VERY nice 55. Paint, body and finish work was top notch!! Stance - I think the pics justify how killer that was. Ron Mangus did the interior and came out killer. One thing I noticed on it was they shaved the drip rails and rounded off the corners on the doors. Thought is was a nice touch. My pics are no better than what has already been posted.
