Just wanted to say what's up and tell y'all a little about my car. My wife bought me the 54 as a wedding present just over a year ago and things are finally going on it. It should be pretty wild when i'm done. Here's a list of what i'm doing to it.

Body: shaved, 4" recessed, and tappered firewall
shaved door handles, trim, trunk, and hood
frenched headlights and taillights
suicide doors
one piece from and rear bumpers

Frame: I'm dropping the body on a 95 buick roadmaster frame
Full air bag suspension
Powder coated frame

Drivetrain: 88 Chevy 350 roller motor
bored .040 over with hyperuatic pistons
AFR Aluminum heads
1.6 roller rockers
Edelbrock intake and 650 carb
Thought about a 6sp manual, but prolly a 700r4 for a tranny
.373 gears

Tires and brakes: Cragar SS 18x8 rear and 17x7 front
4 wheel power disc brakes

I'm sure i've forgot something, but let me know what y'all think

I'm in Crestview FL. I've been tryin to load pics and I keep getting a message that there's a problem with the database.

I found out last night that the car's going to the body shop on saturday. it's pretty ate up. She's getting the new fire wall complete new floor pans, new trunk pan, inner and outer rocker panels, lower rear of the front fenders, lower front and rear of the rear quarters, frenched headlights and tail lights, door handles, trim, and hood shaved, and the suicide door kit.

I will post some pics in her current stage and throughout the bodywork process as soon as i can figure out why i'm getting that message

Cool project hot rod. Keep us updated. I think a set of smoothies in 18's would look killer on that car...
