Default My project 54 pictures

Well guys I have been working on my 54 for about 4 years now and I can see the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. A few members asked for some pictures, so here they are. From start to now. I purchased the car less engine and trans. I didn't want a NCRS car, I wanted a Hot Rod. So I installed a 327 with a super T-10 , disc brakes up front and a ford nine inch. I am working on the wiring right now and once that is done I will fire it up and get the bugs out. Then I will start hanging the chrome, and last do the interior. Hopefully by the end of summer it will be finished.

That is beautiful! I know how it feels to be close, I'm almost done wiring, carpet is in and I'm working on upholstery right now. You should be very proud of your work.

SWEET!!!

It has a perfect hot rod stance on that rubber. Black with red interior always works, too.

Default Wow

I can't wait to see it completed. It looks outstanding the way it is now. When the interior is in, it will POP~! Will the interior be red???

Great work and visionary goal.

I thought the same thing about the stance. What a great look.
