Hey, I'm Ru5tyNut5 (Dustin) from Vancouver Washington and I'm working on a '55 Pontiac. It seems like I've looked around here before but I just joined a few minutes ago. So far my car is bagged in the rear, shaved all badges, emblems, door handles, fuel filler door, reverse lights, rear stainless straps, and changed the tail lights to '50 Pontiac lights. Also the front is lowered in the neighborhood of 5"-6". Right now I'm in the middle of doing a bit of paint work in the form of scallops and such.
 
How about posting some pictures when you get a chance?
 
first time out of the garage in awhile

I still have a long way to go but she's starting to come together. I need to clean up the white walls and get the original hub caps on. still have a lot to do with the paint, going to add some white scallops on the hood, green scallops on the trunk lid, and lots of striping when all the scallops are done. my striper friend is coming over in a bit to help me do some more scallops and maybe a bit of striping, we'll see how it goes.

real nice, just be careful with the tires, if they are too old they can dry rot and fail when you least expect it.
