The notch looks like it worked out well...

That gave me a smile and chuckle! Truck could have been a good possible to have on deck after the Burb. I think the notch will work too. Kinda copied Old n slow.

For sure Val. Eventually the right something for the next build will fall in my lap. Knowing this retired dealer and his cars, I figured this one had to be rock solid before he spent money on paint...nope. Always pays to look.

Southern and west cars are just head and shoulders better. The Burb was bad enough but the 56 is just getting old cutting and replacing metal. Not to mention $$$ on trim
You and me both Iceburgh. My 48 truck was rock solid and was a pleasure to build. This Burb was decent though not perfect. Next one has gotta be nice. Something like this one...http://ls1tech.com/forums/conversion...onversion.html

I think I asked before, do you have a build thread going anywhere on your 56?
