    Very cool man! Looks like a great start.

    Here's my '52 Customline I bought from a friend. I'm hoping to get a rebuilt y-block in it soon.

    Nice!
    A guy down the street has a '53 Crestline I've been eyeing for years. If a for sale sign ever goes up on that car I'll be making room in my garage for it.

    Nice '53! Keep it simple for now; nose it and deck it and lower it a couple inches.
