It is scheduled to be delivered this coming Saturday. Once I have it in my garage and get it cleaned up I'll take some really good ones for you to post. I put a few up here.

Hey Jeff,
It is at Qualcomm Stadium. Just google the BIG 3. I am going and I hope to find some Bolters there!

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

My wife is having buyers remorse and wondering if we made a good purchase. I told her that it was worth more then we paid for it. Does anyone have a good idea what something like this is worth? 1955 3100 Series II.

Just let her take it out by herself once or twice on a nice, sunny day.

She will never give you the keys back.

How much did you pay for it, and just tell her, "At least we don't have to spend more than what we paid for it on body work!". grin

I paid $13,500 for it. I has the original wheels and hub caps. I thought it was a steal at that price.

Yep, I think it is, cause some people on here have been doing restoration on their vehicles for a couple of years and spent $5000 and not finished yet. So, if you bought it in worse condition, for $8,500 a few years ago, you would still have ended up having to pay the same price.
