Congratulations, it sounds like you've got yourself a really nice 55. From your description (and there are variables) the car would cost $200K-$250K to be built in a very high end shop. To sell it...

Here’s a friend of mine’s 55 with a hemi in it.9687 9686
Nice! You've got a really cool ride.
I’m pretty sure it’s a stock VIN plate that they didn’t mask for painting very well. I suppose it’s remotely possible it was a exported car that got brought back here as they did have riveted VIN...
We use them on industrial equipment all the time. As you mentioned the environment they're used in is key. Dry areas only.
I bought a complete Auto City Classic smoked glass set with frames including the windshield. I haven't installed them yet but they look really good. I purchased them through Restoration World in...
Look up Thomas Sutton on Facebook. He has a ton of the four door stuff.
Yep, I’ve bought them from my local Lowes several times.
Go to their 55-56 Firewall area >installation photo gallery > word file named Installation.docx the pictures are in that file. They’re just simple brackets that could be easily made, I’d never really...
Because Vintage Air sells the mock up simply based on Gen 2, Gen 4 etc non vehicle model specific with the out put duct configuration of your choice. You then have to order the brackets for your...
Hotrod Dynamics
The Real Deal Steel firewall is made by Hotrod Dynamics. The Vintage Air unit will fit but I’m not sure how easy with the supplied brackets. I know from talking to them that they have some brackets...
No problem, I'll stay out of it.... forever. ;):D
Long day at work today so no time to work on the old 57. I did manage at lunch to order some stainless pieces I’m missing. My first time to work with Concourse Trim, I hope they’re a solid company to...
Look up Thomas Sutton on Facebook, he will have them used for sure. PM me if you want his phone number.
I saw those earlier, He sure does nice work.
You’ve got that right for sure. You’ve got to watch your ass up around Dayton on I-75, they patrol the crap out of it!
Restoration World in Dayton is pretty close to you I think. The have a very large inventory of Goldenstar sheet metal parts. They’re also the cheapest place to buy parts from that I‘ve found. They...
I have a standard length column which if I remember correctly is 32". I'm going to try to move it down but I may have to modify the instrument panel bezel length to do that which isn't really a big...
I don't think I have any issue at all with the firewall itself, the install being very straight forward. What length column are you using and is the ball mount the Flaming River Trifive specific...
I had seen the part number difference in assembly manual before too but honestly they look to be the same. I've installed a Hot Rod Dynamics smoothed firewall and the bracket is coming up short of...
Is the bracket that runs from the dash to the firewall that mounts the brake and clutch Pedals and steering column the same on all 55s, 56s, and 57s?
I haven’t decided for sure what I’m going to do yet. I’m either going use adapter fittings to AN hose or maybe just cut the tube and flare it. I’ll mock it up and see which I like the looks of the...
I think I remember you cutting the rack end fittings off leaving a short section of the tube attached and then soldering a AN fitting to the tube? Could you not just flare the tube for AN fittings...
Just curious, why can't the tubing just be cut off and flared for a AN tube sleeve and nut? Does the tubing spit when you try to flare it or something?
