Jim. Those kind of photos are just what I need. I have been restoring for several years a 54 which was completely dismantled and in crates when purchased. I've pretty much purchased any missing pieces over the years and I'm now to the point of paint. I will be assembling soon so I'm looking for pictures to help me get all the wiring, cables, etc. oriented correctly. Pictures of the engine bay and under the dash are what I need the most.
Jim,
Gorgeous car! Thanks for sharing the pics. Those are now bookmarked.

Thanks, Mike. You ought to know that your long ago experience driving your freshly purchased, and un-tested, un-proven '62 home has been the inspiration for several similar trips for me.
One of those trips involved driving that '54 from my Dad's home in Georgia out to my home in California.
Were it not for you, I probably would have never considered doing such a thing. Thanks!
There are soooo many photos out there - what are you looking for - What is your goal ?
Thanks for helping me out here. I've completed the frame, engine,. and drive line. Body is going to paint soon so I will be assembling. I'm looking for pictures to help me get all the wiring, cables, etc. oriented correctly. Pictures of the engine bay, interior, and under the dash are what I need the most.
Do you have the latest edition of the NCRS judging manual. It has tons of pictures and good detailed descriptions of how things should be.
I do not have a copy of that manual. Do you suggest I start there? The car is all original except for the "251 head" so I'm trying to stay true to the original as possible but it will be a driver and not a trailer queen.

Little did I know that I was driving the 62 Gulf Oil racer. I thought it was just a big-brake ex-fuely. Thanks for your kind words, Jim!

I used Jim's photos 6 years ago when I was restoring mine. All the little questions were answered just by looking at the photos. I about wore my computer out accessing them. Can't thank Jim enough.
I don't deserve any credit for those pictures. Russ Uzes (Yesa59) spent an afternoon taking them and then made the web page for all to see. Heck, I sometimes refer to them myself.
BTW, there is a CF member (and I'm embarrassed to admit I forget who) who has '54 #3299, the car mine followed down the assembly line.
BTW^2 Randy I look at pictures of your '54 with lust. I wish mine looked that gorgeous.
#3299..... Body being lowered to frame. I've posted many pics of my resto that may or may not help you. The car was fitted with a V-8 back in the day and I'm keeping it that way. Jims photos have been a HUGE help along with the many other members here on the forum.
