Yuppers, great site!!!! been saving some of them on the 'puter for build references....

Bob, You are dead on about the pipe bumpers with the end caps on 'em... and colored plexi windows would be a "must"!

That model picture was just to show the scoop I referred to ...not the W-block motors.

I guess a lot of my ideas are not the first things people remember... but I like to see the unexpected choices, not the ones most people would choose.

You are right about it being a sixties concept, but by '65-'66 the setups were were evolving to wrinklewalls, automatics, and the cars got lower ...so I'd go early sixties. ...(but sadly it's not my car.) {:-(

I did start a car in my youth that would have been similar. I boiught a '55 210 post, and put a 3/4 ton rear under it, which was popular then. I also bought a 'glass one piece front... but when I found a '57 Bel Air 2-door H.T. for $75 ...does that tell you how long ago? ...I abandoned the '55, and sold it.
