Understatement of the year...

"Should be a fun ride"

I love those big ass tires on the back!

You need a little more tire under the back. Very wicked ride, love the whole look. Nice thing about old cars, there are so many ways to build one. You saved one that looked pretty rough too, which is always good.

This is a great car. I mean BBC, Blown, chopped and Channled Ford, Super Traps it may not get any better than this. Good work and keep is in the loop I would like to see how this one comes along.

Well thanks for the kind words, I found a site that doesnt frown because I have big tires I am on the Hamb and they rag me about the pro street look. Will post up some more build picks.

Pro53, You know beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In "MY" opinion ( the only one I am qualified to speak to) You have this car Just Right, thats what I think. However I am not so vane as to think that everyone is going to or should think the same way. When a feller sets out to build a car for his self he actually only has to please one person. You are already way ahead on that thought. But then you already knew it was cool now didn't you? Doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks after that, now does it?

You do gotta start resizing those pictures though. To pretty a car to hide it in those giant pictures that take a lot of scrolling.

Here isn't this better?

Sorry about the big picks will start going through photobucket to resize. I think its cool but my buddys dont say that. So thanks. After work today on my way to roll the roof piece with my buddy english wheel.
Here ia some more picks, here is another pick before the blower and floors were put in.

Nice lookin' ride. Keep us posted

That is one radical ride you built You pulled the big tire look off perfectly. Your friends are probably jealous because your car is faster than theirs

Yea!! keep the photos coming I mean I love this car. I have a couple of very old pictures of a sedan and I am going to build a car like that one day. Your's is kinda close to that old sedan in a way. So when I see yours I think about that project---- oh well one day.

After writing this reply I took a look in some of my old stuff, low and behold there that car was. So here's a pic but man they are small maybe you can telll a little about it though.

That sedan is wild lookin, I whish I could get a better look. Cant get the picure to blow up bigger. Is those picks out of a magazine? If so which one? You 55 chevy looks cool.
