It's obvious that you have WAY TOO MUCH time on your hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....so Phil says to Butch, "Hey Butch, Do you have a date for Valentines day?".

Can't dig your basement...huh?????????????????Snowing here again today Phil.
No, the new whipping boy is Fox News............its all their fault.All of the above can be blamed on ................................................................. BUSH
I could honestly blame a lot on bush........but not the same kind. 
Hey Thom......welcome back to your own thread!! 
I hope you decide to keep the '55 instead of making room for other projects. I just can't imagine you parting with it after seeing the picture of your first one way back when ....... and then this one in the same location. That is an awesome picture!
Phil usually gets all the good "W" stuff 'cause he gets there so early, but the Columbia swap meet does have a fairly good selection most years. I always come home with something.
Last year I picked up a Corvette fuelie part for $70 and sold it for $600 on Ebay. Two years ago I purchased a 1961 348 engine, complete but dissasembled for $300. I generally donate a few parts for my buddies' table, we give the proceeds to a local car club, The Boulevard Burnouts
.
Hope to see everyone there!
Cheers!

Before and after..........did some recent changes on the shoebox.
Put on some rear pie crust cheaters, replaced from black bumper bar to chrome and stabbed the tach on the dash (where it belonged in first place)
I think the ol '55 has received tenure

I followed your build on bangshift forum and plan on making my stroker 409 similar to yours it’s a great build!
Was a lot of fun doing the deal.........was fortunate enough to have a good guy doing the build
It was a long read but I liked it and was very informative and everything looked like it was quality work. Too bad a lot of the pictures are gone now with photo buckets stupid deal.
Yeah........bummer on the photos............if you need any just let me know
Still have most of 'em in my files
Good luck on your build
Thom:
What was the name and location of that shop you had break your engine in? Wasn't it near Rolla?
I remember being there but forgot the proprietor's name and contact info (OK it's been while!).
Nice updates to the shoebox, I like that she's now "tenured" for life!
