Not a muscle car but my next project

Well the deals are still out there. I saved this one from the crusher. A local used car dealer took it in for a down payment. He just gave the guy junk value for it. I doubled his price I gave a 1000 dollars for it. I figured I could sell the fenders and doors off it for that. So basically I got a really good deal. I had no keys so I couldn't get into the trunk. We all know tri fives have issues in that area. Once I got the trunk open it was full of parts and the trunk floor is in real good condition. The main down fault I found with the car is it was an old drag car so the lift off hood ended where? On the roof. It looks like someone danced a jig over it. But they make a roof skin now so that really wasn't an issue. It will need a one piece floor most likely outer rockers. The frame looks solid. Its going to be a driver. Flat color but have everything fixed and straightened and painted. It will be a frame off but just to remove all cancer.

Not bad for a 60 year old door. Driver side door and fenders just as nice.

I've been picking away at the 55 slowly. I have most of the panels blasted and in epoxy and high build primer. I may get the body off the frame this weekend.

I had a holiday joke with my wife. We used to do the elf on the shelf with the kids for Christmas. Well I had a 55 chevy on a wall this Christmas...LOL
