Re: Dutch 1955 build
Fuel is kind of expensive to be running all those V8s over there isn't it? I'm sure those old Chevy's (and Vette's) turn some heads compared to most of the little cars! Love the build and keep up the good work!

Coming along VERY nice. Fuel line look great have you got a close up of the clips you are using? They look super clean.

fuel isnt cheap but these cars are for fun and weekend driving
it would be a different story when you would drive them on a daily basis

dipstick.



last week got the new corvette taillights in and test fitted them into the fenders
