    Any Oval that can be rescued has a tremendous resale value, at least that's the case here in New Zealand.
    With so many parts and panels still available for these cars its gotta be worth doing if one has the time to do it.
    Good luck!

But, then you said you starting out the year broke while sitting in a rusty beige interior '55. I knew then all is well. This will be a fun project to follow. See you next time around.

I remember one a couple of years past with you, a Thing, and a bottle of bubbly, haha! Also, the opening with you picking up and flipping over the top of the car reminded me of the mid 70s “Lite Beer from Miller”… the retired athlete saying “I love these easy opening cans!” Well done!

    Our ‘55 single cab was built in April of that year. Ours has blinkers and a few other updates like the air intake over the windshield. Up through March of that year the scabs had semaphores. Probably the type1’s were changed around the same time to blinkers.
