Re: My Blue 1957 build

Well got my rims. Should have tires by Monday....... Kind of a theme with these builds..... waiting on parts. Got a few small leaks to fix in the meanwhile. Started over with my bedwood. Too damn hot when i did it the first time around.

It will be babied the first couple years until I go to some of the bigger shows around me. I will drive it up to the cruise nights on Thursdays and sure it will occasionally be driven on the weekend.
