Cale's 55

[Derek69SS]

We made another big step forward on Cale's 55.
Driver's side is in its first coat of high build primer.

I hope to get it blocked again this week while Cale works on finishing the inside of the trunk... autocross season is starting soon, so progress may slow down a bit over the summer.

This so so cool to watch it coming along. Really appreciate you sharing this journey.

Now that busy summer is past us and race season is over, we're back to working on Cale's car.

Progress doesn't look like much, but it's the time consuming fine detail work around the window frames that I have been working on while Cale is working on the inside of the trunk. The trunk had a spot behind a brace with a rust hole we didn't see before due to an old hack repair hidden under the primer. Also, he's going to fab up a bracket to mount the battery down in the spare tire well, along with fabbing up a hinged cover for it.

No kidding, Derek raised him right, that's for sure.

I don't think Cale had a choice... not only genetic, but the whole, extended, family is immersed in car culture...
Super nice people to be around too.

Hope to see Cale with this one in our MCACN Future Generations special display next year!
