That car is really cool!One MEAN looking SOB!I would love to have something like that myself,I love those 57 Ford sedans.I hope my little 67 Dodge Dart has a stance similar to that when all finished up!I am going to radius my rear fenderwells like the 68 Hemi dart.I have a copy of the Factory template to get them correct.

Here's a couple of shots of an old racer that used to run at our strip in the late 60s/early 70s. Leroy Moss is the owner and actually bought the car new in '55. He proudly displays the original paperwork in the trunk. He converted it to a gasser in the early 70s, then retired the car just a few years later. Last year he was contacted by Bob Gibson to attend a reunion of the old 'Drag City' strip that was located just East of Springfield, IL. Leroy had such a good time reliving memories that he went home and started to work on the '55. He brought it back to Bob's gathering in September of '07 in all her original glory and delighted the crowd. Leroy's wife told us she credited this old car with giving Leroy the spark to live. (He's battling cancer,.............. and winning! ) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif Cool old car. http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...DSCF0032-4.jpg http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...DSCF0035-1.jpg http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...DSCF0023-1.jpg And here's what it looked like 'in the day'. http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...DSCF0004-1.jpg |

I just bought a 55 Nomad that I am thinking about doing a straight axel, 427 4 speed gasser style to. It is up on blocks with me stareing at it now.
