Very nice project!!! I just got my 1st 55 last year (a 210 2 door), it was on the top of my bucket list as I never had 1, I had 2 56's and 2 57's over the years! Best of luck, looks great!

I’ve been pushing along on the project. I Installed the motor last night, now to get the rear-end back together. I’m hoping to have it rolling by the end of the month.

Well three cars later a 70 trans am, 67 Shelby and a 70 GTO I was finally able to work on my own project this weekend. My 55 has been tucked away patiently waiting for some attention. To date, I have replaced the complete floor, trunk, rockers and rebuilt the driveline. The roof skin was in poor shape so I decided to replace it. I also replaced the front and rear roof supports. Overall the panel fit very well some trimming was needed. I will get the new roof skin in epoxy primer then back into the storage bag as the next restoration is due in the shop at the end of the week.

I see a familiar "two lane" theme here..

Well the next car showed up in the shop on Saturday. But I just had to bolt the sheetmetal onto the 55 before I tucked her away. Amazed at the quality of the original panel gaps for 1955.

Well I'm still working on Jeffs Monte. I'm just waiting for a couple of engine parts to show up so we can wake up the monster! The next car I am doing is my 55 no ifs and or buts about it. I took this car apart 5 years ago then the flood gates opened and I started restoring everyone else's cars. Well this needs to get done so I'm going to do it. Between my 45 hour normal job and shop work its finally catching up to me. I just can't believe 5 years ago I took this car apart. This is where I am with the 55. I had done all the sheet metal work except the quarters. I decided to go with Skins as I heard the 55 post quarters fit poorly. Overall both sides came out very good. Just took my time and kept the heat low on the panels to avoid warping. Hope to have the passenger side quarter primed in the next week or so. Man theses 55s have such tight body lines. Crazy they were that close in 1955.
