I was playing around with the carb adjustments today and have it running much better. Right now with the doors off it it looks like a Chevy passed it and blew the doors off it...

Great build John, there's something to the '56. Ford did that one perfectly in my opinion. There is some Tier 1 fabrication going on here, well done sir, well done.

Well finally got round to repainting the doors and running boards and have them installed. Tomorrow I plan on installing the side glass and still need to paint the box lid. My wife and I took it for our first drive around town today and quite happy with the way it drives..

A friend just stopped by and helped me remove the box lid so I can start prepping that tomorrow instead for paint...
