  6. Really like your 55. An upgrade on the brakes to a dual master cylinder might be considered. No brakes can be rather exciting after running the gears with a potent BBC up front. Carry on.

  15. My 55 chevy wagon was rusted ahead of the rear wheel like yours. I used a section cut from the bed of a fleetside 60 thru 66 chevy truck to repair mine.

  21. Yep they helped me spray some more flat black in the wagon. That nasty coral (pink) was starting to show. We are going to end up raising the grand children. They are here most of the time now. There mother has stage 4 cancer. Our son has to work so he doesn't have much time between work and taking her to cemo doctors and house work ect. Im really enjoying playing with them.
     
  22. Sorry to hear about your daughter in law. Good to hear that you’re taking care of the kids. You’ll be be in my prayers.

    Boy was it hot. Did some crusing before the storms came.

    Came home and threw a different look on that motor!

    Got to be envois of the progress you are making. I can only remember long ago when I could do the same. The best of luck on a cool ride.
     
  30. Cragars, chrome steelies & M/T valve covers give it a '60's look.:cool:
    Centerlines & Moroso valve covers scream 1970's. :eek:

    I like the '60's theme better. Add an STP sticker on each back window and it would be perfect. :)
