    Had my buddy at JS customs do some more work while I am waiting on my paint guy to get a opening. Removed the air box from inner fender. My car never had it even used. KIMG0147.jpeg KIMG0148.jpeg

  9. I see you already have a plan for tail lights, what I was going to suggest, is to install 57 Corvette lights in the fenders like I did on my 47. I love the progress.

  12. Sorry, that was back at a time when I didn't think to take many pictures of things. I have a couple more, but I don't want to jump on his thread. I just wanted to pass on an idea from what I did to my car in 1962. Other than cleaning and filling the hood and trunk, and frenching the headlights, the body was stock. All the big changes were done to the running gear.

    Packard transmission is going to the side. I am going to run a automatic instead. That and if I jump on it I don't want to break as easily. If a th400 breaks I can at least get parts.

    JR Nelson in Tacoma finished the pin stripping on the dash yesterday. The plain white area was driving me nuts. 1570057944322~2.jpeg
