| Man. I remember when my '59 Dodge looked like that. Everything is so clean and perfect, you almost hate to continue putting it together for fear of scratching or damaging something, and then when it's all done, it scares you to drive it and get the undercarriage dirty. But that is beautiful work and something to be proud of! |

Location: North of Sweden | I´m very pleased with the choise of color, Bimini Blue and Ivory White.
This car was originally white with black inserts, but IMO the appearance of these cars
gets a whole lot different with a color like this.
Hopefully it will be out in the streets next summer. And yes, it will absolutely be driven.
Thank you all for your kind comments.

Not much wear on the brake pedal, either.

This is the way I would like to do my car, been a lot of discussion about how much would cost to restore a car to this level.
Putting a side that you are in Sweden and shipping cost are exorbitant; can you estimate the cost of a restoration like this one?
