Nice to see your slick in progress! Keep the pics coming...

Notice a 55-56 chev across the street, which normally means its a car guys type neighborhood. Neat

What is planned color combo? Powertrain?

Finally found an extra hood from California. Cut the braces out, blasted and treated everything, weld braces back in and hope to paint soon
