    WOW Chris! Your shoebox is lookin' great! I like the peaks over the taillights but I'm a fan of peaks.. Your grille surround looks bitchin' too- kinda what I had in mind for my shoebox. I definitely like the new look!

    Awesome, and I voted for you to get the suspension kit. Pinstriper40 is from "Koolsville", that makes me just north of "Koolsville", and tonight, at -8 and temps falling, we are in total "Coolsville", and then some. I like my 51 with the chrome spears, but the great thing about this hobby is our personal tastes, and how they translate to our cars. Look forward to seeing more progress!

    Nice work...I love the Dodge grille, not so much the quad headlites, but anything is an improvement over the 40 Ford headlites on a 50's car...keep up the good work.
