    Awesome thread.
    I've got to get off my ass and get my '54 on the road!!
    I've got some parts on the way and I'm shopping for an old POS with an engine and transmission to use. Been shopping big block trucks near the year of my truck so I can get spare parts for the truck while I'm at it. Cheaper than buying a good runner engine and if you can drive it, you know what you've got.

    I love how low you've got your car. I'm only going to drop mine a couple inches. I just don't think I could use it for a daily driver around here if it were that low!
    Great choices on the wheels, tires, steering wheel and about everything.
    Maybe in the next month or two I'll have enough progress on mine to post some pic's in a thread.
