Re: Dutch 1955 build
once again great. There will come a day that you dont post pictures and we will be disappointed. We are spoiled with your build and your picture posting.
Question: You have a step out that comes out from the rear wall does not go all the way to each side and stops. You then have a piece for the seatbelts. Why did you not run the step out all the way to the sides? |

so i kept it the same lenght as the seat frame, but your probably right it would have been less work having it run over the full lenght. ![]() ![]() |

Like art work! What do you do for all the weld seams in corners? Just trying to learn.

Re: Dutch 1955 build
Lots to see here, and comment on. Just found the build, so, I've read it for a while. Good stuff. Its the kind I search for on the net to feed my addiction. Keep it up. Looks like you also have photography as a hobby judging by your pictures.
Nice garage! Is it a hobby garage, or do you also run a buisness there? Thats all I can think of. I'll be following this. |

Re: Dutch 1955 build
Man! Its like Hotrod Christmas in there! All thats missing is a Christmas tree. Is the work area sectioned off from the work space? I imagine it be hard to keep the dust off the finished cars if it wasn't.
Reading it again, I see you said "sectioned off" Neat place. Bet you don't really need a living room, well, maybe for the wife. |

Re: Dutch 1955 build
You will not be disappointed in Intros!!! I have some Pentias and they are finely crafted and beautiful quality wheels. One thing I would do on mine is to get some good sealer like from Master Formula and seal them up really well before I ever put tires on. I learned that lesson the hard way by not doing it.
