First things first

Truck came in right before noon, been working on her for a couple hours.

The red oxide was killing me so I polished it up as best as it would go. Then I decieded that the cracks in the double-pane glass could use a nice touch. I think it works perfectly











I'm sure I'll go back and re-do it all with some pin-striping decal or something. I just really enjoyed the look of this and wanted it on ^_^


Had a guy stop dead in the middle of the road and take her picture, and I've already had my first offer for her too. What a great feeling ^_^ Only took a year and a half (about 9 months searching for a '56 and 7 months waiting to get it home)

lol, thanks ^_^

yeah I'm not a huge spider-web on cars kinda guy, but it fit so well on this and captured a lot. Just a temp thing to make it more fun in the mean time.

lol nope, didn't take the offer. I've waited a year and a half to get my truck, including 9 months of searching, I'm not about to just sell it to someone who stumbles across it It would have to be an offer of way, way, way more than it's worth for me to even consider it, I already have so much invested and right now its nice to be able to own a dream.
