This looks really good!

I like stock cars. The way they were shipped when new. Maybe a day 2 mod but not much more. Numbers matching often means “not totally f-ed with” so I like that. I also prefer “numbers plausible” meaning it’s the right timeframe block etc. for the same kind of feel. After that it’s simply...

Super cool. If you ever need any help I’m in Harwinton. Can’t be too far away if you’re in “Northwest CT”.

I understand, and feel the temptation. For now I’ll keep it at one car. Starting one with my wife shortly, but that’s a Beetle convertible. Whole different animal but should be fun just the same.

Uh oh, you asked Pete how many cars he has. There might not be enough bytes on the internet.

Guess I'm not too shocked by the bondo build photo. For some reason those quarters were very flat (front to rear) and often picked up a wave right in the area you show. That build is pretty hefty even considering that.

Seems sort of odd. Can’t really read the paperwork well. If that fender tag SO matches the numbers on the radiator support it’s a 361 car. I’ve seen cars with the wrong fender tag though which leaves the door a little open. Any build sheet?

My ‘55 C1B8

Wow. Factory mufflers! What a find! Mine was very stock but this is dead-stock. Super reference material.

A little while ago there was a discussion about the heat shield behind the passenger exhaust manifold. I see this car has it. Another good reference.

Super cool.

Note that I stated "the circumstances". In yours it clearly worked fine. In a 4 hour drive to a show on a 90° day with open heat risers and with surfaces that may not be either quite flat or quite parallel the answer might be different. Also a valid question: would it have worked fine with...

It would seem that it *could* work under exactly the right circumstances. I wouldn’t expect it to work for too long either as the grease dissolves. Certainly wouldn’t recommend that to anyone.
