Welcome here, and you are right. This is a great place to be, and for someone with a car like yours there is no better forum.

You probably like the feature car for June too!

The Trans is a Borg Warner T-5 from an 80's Camaro/Firebird  combined with the tailshaft from an S-10 pickup.  (to accomodate the stock bench seat)

      Welcome to the site   looks like we have some nice 50's coming out   love it... When I was in high school, I used to spend weekends, in a '56 4 door Laurentian.. It had a 100 inch whip aerial, spinner wheel covers, curb feelers,fender guides, chrome headlight covers, vent deflectors, spiner on steering wheel, shirts, sunvisor, and a 261 stick with split exhaust. Sounds junky, bit was quite cool ,or maybe it was me, at 16-17 lol  It had the danglie balls hanging, and the blue lights inside, by the sunvisors..

    Thanks  Al
