Redo what? It looks pretty nice to me.
And he's rolling it already.

His new name should be "Rich's 49."

It hot as hell. I guess what I am trying to say is, What's the story? Did Rich have this done? Did he buy it like this? Is he going to personalize it?.............  |

| Thanks guy it is a real heb and the number is 595, it came out of the Sac area and from what i heard it used to belong to Steve Wood and was later sold to Andy and then it went to a guy name David and then i got it about 4 weeks ago. I plan to drive this one till my split vert is done and then i probably still wont restore this one as to i am having to much fun driveing it all classic weekend. I had the best time this year driving it every where not once did it act up or let me down and i already had a trailer queen and i like getting all the thumbs up and also all the flashing from young ass girls every where on the freeways in Kalif. It is rough and far from the brown car i used to own and to tell you the truth i like this one better and plan to enjoy it for what it is..... |

It has been shown as a '49 for years.............. 
Could it be that it was on a '49 pan and number and not finished until early '50? I have a PM out to Andy........perhaps he can clear it up. It might be a '50 built Heb, but it was built from a '49 as I understand it and registered as such.

The Vin tag in the front is stamped 1950 and the chassie number on the Vin tag comes out to also be Feb 1950.

I don't doubt you Dave..............maybe Andy will clear this all up. I know the pan and the motor are incorrect and maybe there is a connection there? (or a mis-connection )
