Can you give me the info on the paint you used on your '55? That is the look I want for my '46 Stylemaster.
Nice car!! Did you break her yet?

I haven't had a chance to sit down and take additional pictures yet.
The A/C is in and working well, but the electrical glitches are still kickin' my butt. The driver door power window has failed for the fourth time; The driver door poppers have failed AGAIN; the passenger door is intermittent and has a range of just a couple of feet. The wiring for the fans, glove box light, dome lights, cigar lighter and clock have all failed, and Eddie (I call him HAYWIRE now) mounted the fuse block so high that one can not see nor read the various circuits in the fuse block.
It is going to have to be redone at best, or re-installed at worst. My health is so bad, I can only work on it for about 10 minutes at a time..Heck, it takes me that long to scratch and giggle 
It goes in tomorrow for a leaking freeze plug or water pump (did I mention that it has a brand new engine?); Wednesday it goes back for installation of a different power window set up, a fix for the doors and..
I mentioned that we had a new CPP 500 steering box (sweet) installed. Ya know that plate that goes around the column and patches the big hole in the floor..someone failed to put it back in; A/C doesn't work well when your feet are right on top of the header..
Friday it goes to Bow Tie Overdrive who will install my 200R4 stage III trans. Then it goes to a "display" at a local shopping center where ads will be shot, then we will figure out when I can slip the Posi rear in there.
I am planning a trip to Bakersfield on 8-23, and ElSegundo Main Street is 8-25..Whew!!
The week after CFAC, the bosslady and I are taking it to NorCal to visit friends and families and my new grandson.
Everything in the car is new, but I do have the 200 mile premium tow service from the AutoClub coupled with an extender for my cel phone and a big amp for my CB radio.
I will try to post some more pics...I am particularly proud of the Papua New Guinea leather interior and I want to show it off.
Later

There's something 'bout me, baby, you got to know,
You got to know.
I get off on '57 Chevys;
I get off on screaming guitar.

How it has always looked...In my weak mind!
39 years ago, this month. Fresh flame paint!
5 years ago at Art's.
In 2 weeks, Palmas is going to primer quarter panels at Art's.

My wife just recently snuck mine off and had all the paint and body work done, before I returned home from my 2 year stint in Maryland with the Navy. Was an incredible surprise, because I knew nothing about it. It's her retirement gift to me, car looks beautiful now. If any of you guys are on Trifive.com, you probably saw the story I posted there. Here are some pics, hope you enjoy.
My lovely wife and I
