Nothing photo worthy really going on with the 53, lots of block sanding and buffing, assemble and repeat.

I found a guy to scan the heater control knobs and 3D print me a set.

Still going but, I started on my wife's pickup then sold it before it was finished and bought her a second pickup project so I've had a distraction or two while waiting for 53 parts.

Just got the hubcaps back from the polisher and I have the pinstripe guy coming to paint the black back on them and a few other things for me.

I have a few project vehicles going right now and I'm trying to get back to the 53, I moved everything out of the shop to get back to my lift and work on finishing the exhaust and whatever else is left under there once I get it up in the air.
