Had some time spare today so I decided to do some work on the 54
Swapped the pan over for a perfect 54 pan I had laying around but before that I had to do some work to the beam to get it a little lower.


Started the day at 11amwith this pan

Man, I can't wait till I can make some progress on my 57, have to get the 63 going first (promised the wife).

Whats the next step? I rekon, put the motor in for testing and then finish it. Motor should always be put in as early (safety considered) as posible for the sake of fun.

That's looks so hot. The car has so much character with the paint left like that and it looks great minus the running boards.
Good work.

good work mate

Looks monsta low from the perspective of the tyres in the guards, but judging by the shadow, it still looks pretty drivable.. keep up the good work.

Love the paint.
