....but I've gotta ask about the insulated drinking bottle - are you using it for a radiator overflow or what?
Yup - $7.00 for the spun aluminum product at Walmart vs $60.00 for a very similar radiator overflow (with a different) top...

Works for me, NO criticism whatsoever.

Love the color and the rim contrast with the ribbed beauty rings. I plan to buy a set of steelies with the rings as alternates to my old Torq Thrusts. Love the three two's - that's SO era-correct.

My dad had an AD in the same color though with primer spots and later replaced it with another AD in deep green with lots of chrome. I'd have one too except he replaced that one with a '59 Fleetside long bed I "helped" him swap a 283 into and later a 348... which is why I have a TF but I could happily have an AD. Congrats!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

After 5 years and sitting in the corner for 4 years It's about done and I'd love to show you some pics.
I have a really old build thread in here somewhere.
It's all built on a 98 C5 Vette. Canyon bench seat, Vintage Air, PW, 700 watt Kicker 7 channel amp, leather, etc.

Here's what I cam up with.
