Brian, wheels look great. As far as the paint,, a year ago I would have never said this, but, the 70s paint schemes are hot right now, I would have to give serious thought to leaving it alone for a while. JMO
Ok Brian, so what are you up too with the 55! When you say "little" W just how little in Brian's terms.Started to pull the 09 out the 55 today and clean the engine bay and install another little W should have this out tomorrow

I highly doubt it will be just slow enough to not require a roll barLittle is relative ya know. Compared to a ricer Honda motor a 348 is huge. Compared to the engine in that ship we were talking about on here awhile back, a 540" 409 would be miniscule.
I know you've got the aluminum block build in progress.......since I love the '61 the most.....I'd love to see you put it that engine in there when it is done and you could "hand-me-down" the little 476" (?) motor to the '55.
Seriously though, since you already have a pair of 9 second race cars I hope you make this one a cool driver that you don't fully redo and that you take it out cruising OFTEN. Maybe a "just slow enough not to require a roll bar" car.
I wouldn't be surprised if it needs an 8 sec certified full roll cage.I highly doubt it will be just slow enough to not require a roll bar
She has been sold although i might start a new build thread some time soonStarted to pull the 09 out the 55 today and clean the engine bay and install another little W should have this out tomorrow
