Re: Dutch 1955 build
Sweet build. I am working on a '57. Love some of your ideas. Can you tell me where you found the trim for the back window? I love the color. I would love to paint mine black but I do not trust anyone around here to do the body work and I know it has to be flawless for black. Again, awesome build!

Re: Dutch 1955 build
Did you get the chrome bead lock, or is it chrome trim? Also did you get the windshield trim from CP too? Does is snap on the rubber? Thanks.

Re: Dutch 1955 build
Thanks, I looked on the web site but they were not real descriptive. I was going to use plain black like it came with but circumstances have me thinking about adding the chrome.

Re: Dutch 1955 build
Without a doubt, one of the best builds I've seen here. Great job! Sure would like to know what rear end you're running (narrowed?), also what size wheels and tires? Keep up the inspiration!
