| This looks great! One of the few and proud to modify an early pan like that I'm sure! Way better than rotting in a field somewhere. I have a July 55 3 fold car that I'm gearing up to rebuild as well. Mine won't be stock either, though I'm still in the planning stages. Love the build! Keep the updates coming! |

Ran across your pics in the gallery. Do you have any updates? How's that new Mendeola Suspension working out?

Amazing work on your suspension! That's a "jump in with both feet" thing for sure! That will be a sweet ride!!!
Can't wait to see her done! |
