It's going to be a shame to get it all dirty on the roads.....or heaven forbid, rained on!
Is it going to be a driver or a trailer queen?...... gorgeous work.

That is some NICE work! Can't beat the color combo, either. Is that a '59 Olds ragtop in the background I see next to the blue '58?

Congratulations !!! 
Looks like Jim's 57 went to a good home. Your 56 is beautiful and we admire your craftsmanship. Enjoy them both.

It is always nice to have one sitting there to figure out how things go together!! Sander's black 56 will be one of the best in the world.

I've commented before in this build thread, but this work is just so outstanding.
The attention to detail and the quality is just fantastic.
Love it!
