    Sweet. Need more pics, the air tank (I think) in the bumper was a nice touch though.

    Comparing a 55 to a 61 is like comparing a Ferrari 250 SWB to a 375 Plus.

    Get it?











    Why the confused look?

    Those are some gorgeous cars. The Bel Air looked pretty good to begin with, so I've definitely got high hopes for the finished product.

    I like how no one has commented on it having the legendary 572 in it.


    A family friend has built a 57 with a 6 speed and a 572. It's hellacious really.

    Ya 572 should be fun. Its going to be fuel injected and have kinsler cross ram individual throttle bodies. We went with an auto trans on this car cause the nova has a 6 speed and its just a pain to drive with the power from the 427. the 572 would be nearly unmanageable with a 6 speed

    its going to be black but were not 100% on the scheme yet. it will have gloss black and satin black. the plan was to keep it a satin black but to much time and money has gone into this car to leave the paint soo subtle.

    were in not in jackson, those tags were borrrowd from yearone so we could drive it home before we registered the car
