The 55 is Finished!
After 16 months of steady work it is finished. Few minor things remain but essentially done. Virtually 100% original including the Y-Block.
Can'y help but show off a bit.
Cheers!
Fred

Your truck looks outstanding. Must have put some serious hours in to be finished in 16 months!

Congrats on a job well done.

Great Job! How does it feel? I mean, how does it feel to have nothing to do on nights, weekends and holidays, and those "sick" days off of work?
