Default Recent pictures..55 almost finished.

I've been driving my '55 around but I still need to do a few more things to it. I just thought I'd post a few recent pics of it..

Nice looking ride! Congradulations on some excellent work. Can you somehow adjust your pictures to be a bit larger? We'd like to see more!

Great Job, the car looks amazing. We just got our hands on an ls1 for our swap on the 55. I was wondering if you had any sugguestions on the best place to find parts for the swap and what kind of major problems you had with the install. Thanks
