May I ask: Why did you install 1955 dash stainless rather than 1956? Just personal preference? I prefer what you have too but I know some guys are sticklers about details like that.

I like the look of bow ties. I'm building it for myself.

Finally got to the point where we got the engine started. Moved the car under its own power outside and drove it around the block.
Just a few finishing touches and off to the upholstery shop.

Getting close to finishing all of the body work. Polished all of the exterior window trim and starting to install the trim.
Also installed the rear bumper and license plate lights.
