    Great looking car. Those Biscaynes and BelAirs to me look awesome. Rather have them then an Impala.

    had to have the rear end cut just 3/8” on each side to make a little more room for the slicks[​IMG] as you can see the tube was originally off center a bit I guess from all the welding

    You only have a few more months before the valley opens. Can't wait to see how it runs.

    I like the little chain steering wheels..... they come in handy when you're driving with handcuffs on.
