    Roll it up next to mine and we'll have the '64 Revell box cover!

    Looks great in yellow--cool car!

    Thats just too cool. I like the way you kept the chrome down the side.
    You need to come to the HAMB Drags next year and we can make that pic happen.

    Thanks, my buddy (55xgasr) cut the 1/4s and the trim--it was his 4th cut job on a '55. The cut-outs with the trim are now garage art. That Revell box art has been emblazoned on my brain since the '60s! Keep the photos coming.

    Love the way your 55 is coming out. I'm a sucker for Yellow also. I wish my customer didn't run out of money. Yours looks almost like the one I was working on. I shaved seams on the dash, and also shaved the firewall. Looks almost like yours. Not sure what color he's going to paint it though.

    Damn, that car looks wicked sweet. Love the color, the wheel choice and the red back up lights.

    Will be adding your pics to my tri-five gasser album soon. Check it out. Yours will be on the last couple of pages or so shortly...
