We just got the frame back from the powder coater. Looks like they did a really nice job. The color is Silver Vein and has a clear coat over it.

I filled and smoothed some unneeded holes in the frame. The ladder bar crossmember I installed.

Made a rotissierie for the body, should have made it sooner and used it for the frame also.

Since the body has been blasted clean and is at the body shop I can start assembly of the rolling chassis.

We recently came across this picture of my Grandfather standing by his 55. The date on the slide is 1968.

We also located this picture of the 55 at our house after we purchased it from my Father in 1969.

We had the underside sprayed with Rhino Lining and painted body color with clear overcoat for easy cleaning.

A picture of the firewall after smoothing and painting. The shop will color sand the clear coat after giving it more coats.

The exhaust system is finished except for paint. A sample of the color combination.
