Nice looking engine. Is the carb the one that was included in the box? It looks too good for  a box carb.

Your comments and questions are always welcome.

Wow, that's looking great so far! I'm gonna try my hand at wiring a distributor cap soon. Never done one before. I'll have to try to find some wires in that scale.

I messed on the hood when a sliver spot of dust from Censored blazes on the 1st coat of clear couldnt remove with out damage to base coat so in the degreaser pit it goes for now.Here is some interior pics with brown and ivory.I srayed clear flat on rug and seats to cut down the gloss and made the tops of the seats look like semi gloss vinyl.

Crown

Excellent work on my favority Tri Chevy. I owned 55 2 door hardtop 210 built at the St. Louis GM Plant in June of 1955. She was all stock, 265 V8, factory power steering, 2 speed Power Glide auto transmission, India Ivory over Cashmere Blue. I adore that car till this day but unfortunately sold her after having her for 15 years. She won a few trophies at local car shows when I lived in Miami.

Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!

Crown: Man just look at all that chocolate brown. I really like where you're heading with this build and am very much looking forward to the clear going on.

Ernie: Cool car! I've got two stories like the one with selling a car that I've owned for 10+ years. I miss driving mine ................but I don't miss the cost assosiated with the repairs. lol

What is it with all the 54/55 hoods 'round here that have to go in the "stripping solution" so much? I've stripped my hood three dam times so far and now this! lol

Body's looking great bud.
