I get so caught up in 67-72s that I don't think of making money off of other years to push forward on my projects. Good for you.

My fab skills have been put to the test lately. I have never attempted these before but a guy asked for some and showed me what he wanted so I made them. Came out pretty good!!! Test fitted on my brother's 71 Blazer. :devil::metal:

Well, it happened again. Another project acquired to fix up and help fund this project. This time a F*rd. At least it's a cool F*rd. The 55 Bird. :ito:

Found some script valve covers and got them cleaned up and ready for the LS1 that will be living under the hood. The wheels were looking pretty rough from sitting in the shop for a long time so I had them professionally polished and ceramic coated.

I purchased some valve cover adapters so I could run the script valve covers, it definitely looks better than the coils. Also got some Speed Engineering headers, nice product for the price!!! Those custom wood wheels are better than nothing while I am workin on her plus it rolls super easy!!!:metal:

Hey David, I had some time today and ended up reading through your entire build thread. IT IS AWESOME!!! The work you are doing is so cool - and I can't wait to see the end result. It almost makes me want to get a project going now that I am retired. Just wanted to let you know.... Keith

I had to revisit a couple of things that needed attention. Moving forward is moving forward!! I had to pull the quarter out to eliminate alot of the filler that was needed.
Attachment 2196236 I cleaned up the door handle delete and pulled out some of it as well. Attachment 2196237 I wanted to smooth the door to body area a little after doing a little custom overhang after cutting the tops of the doors off. Attachment 2196238 She is surely an ugly duckling at this point!! Attachment 2196239 Attachment 2196240 |

I cut some 1 1/4 in pipe in two and capped the inside of the door to make the 55 dash wing flow better.
Attachment 2196241 After reworking the firewall a little and cleaning it up I started some of the bodywork and cut my hole for the steering column for mockup. Attachment 2196242 Attachment 2196243 Attachment 2196244 I figured why not mock up my hood hinges while I am working on the firewall!! Attachment 2196246 |

Finally got around to finishing the install of the 55 Bel Air dash!!! It actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and looked factory after it was welded in.

This is where the build started getting interesting. I had a crazy idea of making the interior look a little like an old Corvette so I mocked it up in cardboard awhile back and now I started making it out of metal and attaching it to the hinged cover I was building.

Here is the hinged cover tacked in and getting adjusted to fit the sides and to align with the custom console and sides. I went ahead and put the hinges on for the rear cover as well.
