Project 54 deluxe
« on: December 13, 2014, 02:58:25 PM »
Figured I would start a thread on the newly acquired 54 deluxe. Hoping to get on this car in the new year but customers car come first so the farthest I got was stripping the car completely and bagging and tagging everything. Cataloging what is here and the rust repair panels I need. I sourced out all the metal from wolf parts and Mika in Finland who owns restorationpanels.com . So bring on 2015 already lol

Leaving the glass in for now as I have to roll it in and out of my shop

Using nitrous is like having sex with a hot chick with an STD, you wanna hit it, but your afraid of the consequences

Mika is very good to deal with. i asked for a panel he does not make, and he made it anyway.

Looks like was L275 originally? Same as my Jan 55. What's the plan for it? Stockish? Real mans motor? Or??

Hi Bruce

Great to see your meticulous passion for the details, anal retentive just like me!
Love to see any progress to date... Very happy the car ended up in your barn.
