John…..Haven’t weighted the front end but can install and remove it by myself, the wife likes that part. I would guess the front end is close to the weight of the old steel hood. There is a significant savings.
Tom, I can’t say it any better than Babycakes. It looks GREAT ❗
Can’t wait to see it in person at the Valley… 😎 I know that “Speed”
would have really loved it ❗ 😛
Hey Tom …Nothin wrong with the “contemporary ‘updates” we all know the History..Old & New Photos will be killer for explaining to the masses…decals, paint & lettering will Nail it!
This is a special post for someone who was interested in this project.
In Loving memory of daughter Cheryl 1962 to 2012
Last month we lost Cheryl due to a long time illness.
The reason for posting this here is that Cheryl was very interested in the 55 Chevy project car.
Cheryl went up north with us to pick the car up and she had lots of questions about what we planned to do with it.
Most of the early pictures were taken by Cheryl. She would come out to the shop every night when she was able just to see the progress and to take pictures.
Cheryl was hoping to see the project complete and we think she will ,but she will be watching from heaven.
Tom,to you and your family,I too would like to sympathize of your ‘great’ loss of your daughter Cheryl.I’m sure she’s looking down from Heaven,happily watching your ’55’ Chevy project,becoming a reality,of what she too wanted,before her eyes!
TOM, AND MARY, SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. LOSS OF A CHILD, AT ANY AGE, IS A VERY HARD PILL TO SWALLOW. SHE WILL KEEP AN EYE ON YOU BOTH, AND ON THE ’55 TOO. I’LL BET THAT SHE CAN’T WAIT TO MAKE THAT FIRST PASS WITH YOU, TOM. ……………Mike and Theresa McDermott
Tom, so sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter!! My prayers
and thoughts are with you, your wife and family. John Shimer
is out of the state and not on the forum at this time, but I know
that he would want me to offer his condolences to you…
babycakes.
