That's cool, Scott. Was that up in your corner of the state?

Good to see you posting again. How's your 55 coming along?

Yep. Sold at Mecum auction a few years ago in original, unrestored condition from the Happy Days filming.

Hi Abe - yes, that would have been NW PA Erie, Crawford, Warren counties. '55 is coming along (haven't posted anything on FB lately). Currently working on some patch welding on the bottom of the cowl/inside of rocker panel flap areas on both sides. Just headed out to the garage now. Still waiting on some parts - every thing seems to be on backorder, and it's starting to cut into my overall schedule (grrr). I'll have some pics to post soon!

The first car that I restored was a 31 Vicky like the picture above, that was over 40 years ago! It was a car that I did not keep long. My wife claimed it was too hot in the summer. I replaced it with a 34 Tudor. The cowl vent made a big improvement for summer driving. I sold that car also but enjoyed it for 15 years. The guy that bought the 34 did the Great Race cross country with it.
