1955 Driver

Picked up a 55 4-Dr Sedan over the weekend...Super 88 with original interior - shade tree resto on the outside...good 20/20 car (looks great from 20 feet away at 20 mph) - lake pipes and decals will be the first to go followed by the baby moons. Runs and drives and goes pretty good - will be a fun driver until the Holiday sedan is finished...circa 2034 at this rate...

What is the finish on the bumpers? Lakes style pipes look ok on some cars but you are making a good move by removing them on that car.

What are your plans for the trim rings? If they are 15" and you sell them I may be interested in them.

Bumpers have been painted silver - I suppose it's better than the rust they likely were. They seem to be solid cores - I may have some presentable ones in the shop - otherwise these are ok for tooling around.

Trim rings are 15" - was going to put set up on ebay or craigslist - make offer on PM if you'd like.

RH lake pipe is functioning so I'll have to fit a tail pipe to get things going - they just don't look right on a 4dr sedan
