My 58 project begins

Here is my 58 that I am going to do. It will be my first ground up project. Just haven't got a color picked out yet.

Geoff stick with the dash color on your 58, It will make for a killer over all look with black BRMs

This nice little blue bug has the original front wire tube fenders and the original dimpled rear fenders  :cool:
Hot sauce (aka) Randy has dips on the body which is going to make a fine father and son project for them.

Darn, I would so rock the blue one as-is.

That is a 58 pan with O rust!!!! I can't believe how good of shape it is in, even the battery area has no corrosion.. Nuthin is better than to start off rust free..
