More awesome pics for sure, I think an engine cover would be a good idea, keep'em guessing
love the new plate,
I've gotten used to seeing GM powered Fords, I try to ignore that detail ......

 

[QUOTE=Rimrock F1;15083315]Hey Mike,
Thanks a bunch! Yes, I edited (corrected) my text thanks to your catch.
Appreciate the kind words.

Nice build thread!! Neat to see the progress. I don't want to beat a dead horse, but I am with the others...I wish it was a blue oval power plant, but I understand. I really like modern drivetrains in a classic. I have a '55 that is about to be my next project, and I am excited. Seeing this and similar threads gives me the motivation I need. Thank you.

 

Next time a sponsor or benefactor other makes up the $4k to $5k difference on drivetrain and I will LOVE the blue oval power plant. ����

Thank you for the kind words!! They are indeed motivating.

just went through the whole thread from page 1. what great work and documentation. far above my level of work, but very enjoyable to read and see pics. thanks.

 

I remember doing that Dick, well worth the time huh

 

Looks good. How did you mount your rear license plate to the bumper?

 

Moe,
There are two pieces of 1" flat stock behind the license plate mounted vertically. The holes are countersunk. An allen head bolt fits the countersink so the flat stock is still flush.
Thanks.

Doug
