    54Chevy210: How is the interior? Will it be your daily driver? Any other plans for the car? I like it the way it is; especially the stance.

    I agree with with Cruiser (mostly). Not much needs to be done to these cars. They are cool with minimal mods.

    BTW, Cruiser, I have to change the color; I hate that color and the paint job is actually pretty poor. But I knew that when I bought it. There are a lot of spots on the car showing the same color as 54Chevy210's on it. That was my first clue it was same color when it started out.​

    The interior is all original the front seat is getting swapped out for a newer vinyl bench ( 60yr old foam is disintegrating rapidly) only other plans are to clean it up some more and drive, drive, and did I mention drive it!!!!! Again thanks for the compliments!!!

    Very nice ride. I wouldn't change a thing. Did you get the exhaust completed?

    Used fatman uprights from Gambino Customs and cut 1 1/2 coils in the front then lowered the rear using 3" blocks. Both front and rear I still have plenty of travel before it hits anything. Tires are 670-15 Firestone Bias Ply's.

    Going to the muffler shop the Friday before so I'll have a little quieter ride!! Open manifolds sound good around the neighborhood but can't imagine them for any length of time.

    Sharp....one of the most simple yet most dramatic changes in appearance!
