She's Almost Done!!! Yeah baby!!!!!

After many, many, many, many...(you get the picture) hours of blood, sweat and tears she's almost finished. Just waiting for the windshield to arrive so I can register her and get her back on the road. Just wanted to share a picutre of my ole '55 with all of you since I couldn't have done it without you. I'll post a final pic once the tires and wheels are on and she's completely finished (like that's ever going to happen). So check out my gallery and thanks again for all of your help.

Thanks for the kind words. And yes, I built that little red Cobra 13 years ago and sold it in '06 to fund the truck restorations. It was an awesome car,and fast, but it was time to move on.

Thanks. Bought the glass from Bob's Glass on ebay. He's in Oregon I think. Hopefully it'll be here this week, next at the latest.

Man that looks great. Hope to be there some day too. For now is just a garage full of truck parts and tools....

What color did you paint your truck? Is it a stock color?

Thank you. Hang in there, wasn't too long ago and I was where you are today. It's worth the wait. The paint isn't a production or stock color. I matched it from a photo I took of a truck I really liked. Had to go through about a thousand color samples until I found one that was close.
