Hate the wheels but everything else is great. Love the way they changed the B pillar and extended the door to match the angle.

It's interesting, now that it is finished, the twotone paint scheme makes it look fairly stock. The amount of modifications is incredible.

per the link:
"The people not reading this will be surprised when Bob lifts the hood to reveal a 521-cid version of the Boss Nine engine from Jon Kaase Racing Engines. These are built to make 800 hp and are offered with a carburetor, EFI, blower, or stack injection; Bob's going for an eight-stack version. A six-speed automatic, maybe from Gear Vendors, will be column shifted."
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe

Very cool, I like how it looks with the 55-57  Thunderbird door handles. Looks factory, but mest have been a fair amount of work.
1959 Meteor 2 door sedan , 428 Cobra Jet 4 speed. Been drag racing Fords (mostly FEs) 47 years and counting.
Previous 50s Fords include 57 Custom 4 door, 2 57 Ford Sedan Deliveries, 59  Country Sedan, and as a 9 year old, fell in love with the family 58 2 door Ranch Wagon.

Love it!

Color combo is close to my Country Sedan...Colors on mine are actually Sunset Orange Metallic (2004 Hummer color) with Chevy Truck White White with very slight pearl for lots of contrast...
