Everything is looking good on the pick up, Shawn. Keep at it!! And you are right, it always costs more and takes longer than you thought. Especially when you take the time to do things right. When it's done it's all worth it when you don't have to apologize to anyone (especially yourself) for cutting corners!!!!

thank you Brickman!!!

It's getting closer every day. There just might be enough room for a tire under there.

**Dave Severson** · 07-05-2005 10:10 AM

Looking good, Pro. When are you hoping to have it on the track??? Anxious to hear how much difference the new chassis made.

**pro60chevy** · 07-05-2005 10:13 AM

All I can say is............. soon.

Going great it looks like pro60, I love those rear disks.

Very nice shawnlee 28, I know about the "Multiplying pretty's" syndrome, it can be hard on the pocketbook if not kept in check!

I like the roadster look also Dave, it's going to be a nice cruizer'.

I have been working on the interior, installed the kick panels, door panels, and I'm working on the rear panels with one already up. I installed a new z-gate shifter yesterday and finished the console. My wife has all the material cut to cover it so that will be done today with a little luck. Like you said, one pretty just leads to another!

Im awaiting surgery on my back so I havent done much lately to my 1959 Impala 2dr. I have a high performance 348 Im dropping in it but still need to get a tranny and some other parts for it. I will be getting a settelment from the car accident I was in that messed up my back and Im going to use a portion of that to get the Impala on the road. It has been sitting since 1978 so It will probally have lots of bugs that will need to be worked out. By the way love the Forum, I check it out daily now

Pro 60 I love your car that thing is sweet!! Looks like you have o in a ton of wrench time, nice work!!!! I would love to prostreet my 59 but dont think I could bring my self to take a cutting torch to it lol

**Dave Severson** · 07-09-2005 05:22 PM

So, don't use a torch on it....use a plama cutter!!! If not that, how about a sawzall????

**HotRod59** · 07-09-2005 05:44 PM

LOL yeah guess I could do that. When I started with the car I was planning on doing most of it stock but plans have changed More POWER
