    Looks good Troy, but that's what I'd expect from Ciadella's..

    Seems to be sewn in the '55 BelAir design but in a solid color?

    Thanks BAMA,

    Yes it is '55 Belair but I asked for a complete black interior, they used '56 Belair black cloth on the seats too.

    Hello All,

    Moving along slowly not much done!! I know I asked this before but I can't find the answer, so I'm asking again. Which power steering box is the best, the 600series or the 500 series? Thanks!!

    They are essentially the same thing in terms of function and dimensions.

    The Borgeson 600 box is a modified OEM box from an early 2000's Tahoe or similar vehicle. A new lower housing is welded to the original housing and a new output shaft installed. It has a double D input shaft.

    The CPP 500 box is an all new steering box made in China by a supplier that makes OEM boxes for some brands. One piece housing and splined input shaft.

    Well I'm now retired so I hope I can get my '55 back on the road some day!!! I just ordered the foam for my seats ($931.00) ouch and some other parts as well. I'm planning on pulling the frame out from under the body soon so I can get it fixed up and either painted or powder coated! I can't wait for it to drive!!!

    And so it begins.

    Congrats on your retirement! I thought after I retired I'd have lots of time to work on my car. Problem is I continued to build frames until last year, and taking care of properties all over the country takes time.
