    Very nice, I really dig the hard tops, and I really like the color. I think chrome bumpers and white walls would really bring it to life though.

    I agree roddinron,chrome smoothies and WWW's are in the future,Considering flipped 55 California smoothie bumpers. Time and money will be the deciding factor.

    I love the stance and the paint color. The scallops look good. I agree with the above comments. The car could really use a set of white walls. They will set the car off. I like the 57 chevy grille spreader as it looks right at home. The car needs the painted bumpers and grille shell returned to chrome. I think you could get a little stronger with the scallops if you wanted to. The cars body lines can handle it. Here a a few pics of my old 53 for you to compare ideas against. You have a very solid start on this build. Good luck.

    See if you can get that dude to chip in all his extra shirt money for chrome bumpers.
    I'm not all critical for the white walls though.

    Very sweet! As every, I prefer chrome bumpers and the rear wheels need hubcaps even though it has skirts.

    Thanks for all the input, Sweet looking ride SneakyTiki, I have those pics saved in my computer.

    Along with the other plans,I have a line on a 54 Corvette 235 that belongs to a guy at work that I have to go check out this spring as it is buried in his barn

    We have tried buying the dude shirts......He won't wear them,Unfortunatley same thing happened when we bought him a belt.
