Thanks Joe. After shooting the body white this morning I saw a couple spots that need a little attention so I'll need to do a little sanding and re-shoot the white. |

This is so cool. I didn't even know a kit of this car existed. My dad had a 4 door one in 65 or so. Of course it was pretty rough by then. I remember going to pick it up in the middle of winter and finding out the heater didn't work so we froze all the way home.

Oh man that sounds rough. I remember my 72 Super Beattle VW with not much heat because the heat came off the engine and you would start to feel it by the time you got to where you were going. My windshield used to ice up on the inside. |

My windshield used to ice up on the inside. Had the same issues with my Corvair. Took 1/2 an hour to heat up but once hot you couldn't stop it even closing the vents so you had to open the window. |

My windshield used to ice up on the inside. The things we used to put up with in our rides. I had a '67 Mustang that didn't have any heat and I remember driving around and on trips with my windows down to defrost the windshield as I could never see out of it in the colder weather or in the rain. lololol. I'll never forget the day I finally got the heater working and all of the mode actuator vacuum lines hooked up. It was pure magic. lololol |

That engine detail is already telling me this is going to rock. I'm along for the ride for sure.
Had a 78 Nova in high school. The heater worked well in the summer time.

I think the 56-57 Fords don't get the love they deserve. I find these dead sexy cars and this one is killer. I love that box art. Your work here is awesome.

This is going to look sweet in your colour choices. Your chassis looks pretty good too
