Man that car is gorgeous, how could you possibly improve it?! one of these days i'll try to get some photos of my dads '55, its only partially restored - I love California though - it has its ORIGINAL paint still... faded of coarse... one tiny rust spot and thats pretty much it... his is a 327 w/ '57 chevy 2x4's manifold setup w/ a muncie 4-spd definitely a 70's-80's build with slam bars and all

But really, your car is fantastic.

One day I hope my 50's cruiser is half as nice...

That's nothing... We had a '56 Caddy, 60-Series. A monster 4-door with the clear air tubes running inside along the back pillar. That pig was huge. Had it for about a year and made some improvements but wound up selling it off to finance another project.
