1955 Bel Air 2 Door Sedan. Purchased in Aug 1996, finished June 2005. All work Done by my Father and I EXCEPT FOR: The Interior and Paint and fiberglass work(Warren Autobody-Adrian,Mo.)~No BONDO was used.
All done while working at a job making less than 9.00/hour, a father who knows more than he leads on and one hell of an understanding woman. If you shop and wait for some deals you can still have a dream.
