  View original topic: finished my '54 at last!
Dave Becker Sun Jun 12, 2005 1:54 am

This has been a big project, on and off over the last 18 months,
I bought is as an unfinished project, in a million bits, everything was apart, and I mean everything. It was all painted and just needed putting togeather, sounds easy right!!!.

I wanted it to look like a stocker with a few upgrades to make it drive nice.
It is a 1954 shell on a '69 IRS pan, 365 Porsche chrome wheels, wide 5 Type 3 rear drums and a Sol-Cal wide 5 disc brake kit up front.
Paint is 2 pac pearl white, pan and suspension is all 2 pac black.
Interior was made by Rod Penrose, made to look like stock with a few small changes, He did a fantastic job too.

Engine is a rebuilt 1600 with twin Kadrons and a tuck away muffler, gearbox is an "L" bug.

Goes in for rego on Friday, then it will be 4 sale.

Nice looking body on that. Is there a big demand for cars down there that are not correct sitting on the wrong pan?

Correct or not...there will always be a demand for that oval. Nice job!
