Welcome from Sask!Lookin good!

 

Nice work, but I have to ask, Where did you get the big poster of the 55 on the garage wall? I want one!

 

Looking great so far!

 

Thanks for the compliments guys, I am really enjoying diving into this project.

Kurt, the emblem was on the truck when I got it, anybody have any ideas what it could be from? I have grown to like it so it will be staying on the truck for a while .


The canvas sign was a fathers day gift from my very thoughtful wife. She had it made at our local sign shop and incorporated the "Cheers" emblem with our last name Ziehr
(pronounced Zeer). Creative lady

 

She forgot to put your hood emblem in the sign Bud.
That would really personalize it for ya. Prolly get ya
a black eye if ya mention it to her now though.

 

very nice wife better keep her for a while

 

Great work so far, love the 54s as well....... thx for all the pics

the hood emblem must be Oldsmobile, just a guess

 

Good guess Gigger,


Looks like it is from a '51 Olds


Thanks

 

New cover



Cleaned up an old engine I found




new driveshaft



First time it has been out of the garage in 5 years!




Well it's been a couple years so I thought I would add some updated pictures. Getting close to having it on the road, hopefully this year!

 

looks good.
what size is the mall block?

 

WOW good job man, well done ...... I thought I saw a mouse

 

Well I am tickled.
5 years almost to the day since I brought her home and she finally passed inspection and is registered for the road!
20 more years and I might have her finished

 

why finish it? it looks great as is

 

I agree. That's a great picture of it.

 

Hey Ziehr,
I agree...your truck is stunning! I love that 2 tone weathered look.
What is the hood ornament off of? What are you thinking for next steps?

Looking good up there in Canada!
