    ...thanks, I bought it a about a year ago from his estate after his wife passed
    away. I always liked his car, but never liked how high it sat so I dropped the front a lot & have been fixing little things it needs. Next big thing is shortening the main top bow to help the chop flow better (winter project)....should I flame it?

    The striping on that trunk is etched in my brain from some RnC or Street Rodder photo way back when, made a big impression on me.

    man... Dave Bell had a way of striping something that could make you forget what the base color of the car was!! heck, maybe it was because he covered so much of it up!!
