54 is getting close to done

I have been working on the 54 all winter. Somethings will need to wait until next winter,like the walnut in the bed and rewire under the hood. Have vintage air installed. rear end was narrowed, fenders and tubs at the paint shop. But it is running with the 383. Front clip will only take a couple hours. then off to muffler shop,and get radio installed. I have a couple paint chips that body shop will fix.

Mark Saturday Oct 7 on your calender, The show is at the Maryhill Museum down below Goldendale. Laid back car show with some really nifty cars. The Museum is open and a diversion for the ladies if they want to go check it out. Actually just walking out to the view points and looking up and down the river on a niceday is a pretty nice way to spend some time.
