    I am always surprised that the engine was never swapped and I am very critical of mods that remove the stock tail light/tail light spears but this car in 58' was at the top, front probably got some inspiration from the 55/56 T bird ..Excellent work and I'd bet its better than Valley did!!.In closed pic is my all time favorite, if it will post, old fart and 8.1...grrrrrrrr.....

    Really outstanding work on this restoration!
    Is that the stock Ford color on the dash, or does it match the exterior color? Or is it something else entirely?
    Just color me curious...

    I'd have to believe you nailed it. I'll have to wait until the Portland show to see it but it will be worth the wait.

    If you happen to be at the show next weekend please drop by the booth and say hi! The car will be in our booth in the main hall towards the stage.

    In the meantime, here's a few quickie snapshots.... still a few last minute details but basically done.
