Here is the '59 chassis....she's a roller.

Current status of the build:

fabbing a trunk floor

painting the original 283

sending the powerglide out to get rebuilt

Major things to do:

We're back....

We actually haven't been away. Well, I just finished my first semester at CCS and now begins the push to get the '59 to AutoRama. I'll be clear coating the frame today and tomorrow we are re-sandblasting the suspension components and priming them. Hopefully, once those pieces are gloss black, we'll be bolting them on and getting closer to getting the body back on. The first pic is of my Taildragger project for modelmaking class.
