    I was looking at this Henry J altered and thought the builder took an interesting approach to opening the wheel wells up. Does anybody know what trim they may have used here? an accessory piece maybe?

    That's Wayne Artagia (sp) isn't it. If I'm not mistaken, he is still around and active with rodding. Check with Byron over on Gasser Madness.

    Any idea what year the pics were taken? That would help narrow it down. That trim looks so familiar to me, but I can't place it.

    That engine dominates the world with it's awesomeness.

    I was trying to figure out where it came from, but I can't remember.

    55-56 Dodge, to the best of Wayne Arteaga's recollection.
     
  12. Had a 56 Dodge, arch wasn't as high as that if I recall correctly.
    I was thinking more along the lines of a 55-56 Chrysler 300.
    Maybe a DeSoto?

    There is no wheelwell trim on a 55 or 56 Dodge car. I have a '55 and had a '56.
