Looking good John!  Is that a vertical brace running from firewall down to frame?

No braces yet that is just the original body mount brace. It's welded pretty solid, to hold it all in place, but it will need more to make it a safe driver.

Duh! It's been a long time I guess, forgot all about that. Had to dig up my build pics from my 57 build, remember now! ::)

Yep, I was going to go Silver first, changed my mind and went Black.

Looks great John!
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

Man Sammons.  I think you have me beat for the amount of builds. Great looking frame work on the 57 hardtop

I didn't realize it but my frame I am working on is a california one piece frame. No seams

I have been jacking around cleaning up the shop and thhe new trailor is gettin filled and organized. I am gonna put the grey 55 in there for awhile while I sort the other 55 body and frame situation.  I picked up the crashed 55 body and I need to seperate the frame from it so I can scrap the frame, bent really bad front and rear. TIME TO MAKE IT INTO A TOYOTA. Here are a couple of pic's of the body damage, it will be fixed.
