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.

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.

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.
Is your 55f-100 a project? I got a 53 f100 almost done.

Yea it hard to hook up with a 6" wide whitewall And cheater slicks dont hook either, my neighbor had a pair

Well I got the roof done, car is blasted and epoxy primed and waiting for me to start body work. I made an engine rotessieri out of 2 engine stand work great. Everything that wasent chrome on the front end is at the platers getting chromed. The headers are being cermic coated. The engine is at the machine shop getting freshened up. I need to hurry on the body work now
Sorry for some of the crappy picks.

i like it !!!!!!!!!!

Very cool and classic look!

Just found your thread, and I like the look of your ride. I'm building a 31 sedan chopped 4 1/2" and channeled 4". I'm using a 65 409 with six 94s on a 200r4 tranny and 9" rear. I want to raise my rear wheel wells to fit the rear tires and also want to flush fit my doors. I would appreciate any picture of your method for the doors and the rear wells, and any advise you can add. I'm still working on the floor framing and reskinning my doors right now, but the flush fit is the next step.[ATTACH]
