Default My 54 is done... WARNING: Not for the purists
Well I finally finished it. After a long 8 year journey it feels good to have it done. Just finished the top so I figured I would show you guys some pictures. I want to thank everyone here who helped with answering all the questions I had.

Stock chassis, 327 with Super T10 and 9 inch in the rear. Linked the rear like a 61-62 and put a very large sway bar up front with disc brakes. Thats about it.

You kept "pure" what needed to be, and improved on the rest! Excellent job. Now go drive it and enjoy it, that's got to be a blast to cruise in.
