Hi guys!
After lurking this forum for a long while and really learning a lot from all the great input here, I finally decided to write up my own build thread of my AD. This will be the first time for me posting anything so I'll try my best!
A little background: I have been involved with the hobby since high school, when I purchased a 56 belair (which I drove for a few years but now pending restoration), but I've always wanted and AD. After looking at several ones that were too far gone, I finally found a very good 1955 1st series back in Nov. 2013 and promptly set my mind to restore it the best I can.
Being based down here in Mexico, parts and vendors are hard to come by, so I've have now become a sort of ebay junkie (a sort of extreme sport!
) trying to find all the hard to find stuff since I wanted to replicate a deluxe model, so some parts like the stainless windshield trim, clock housing, and other parts really took some patience to locate.
I'm well along into the build, but still a long way to go! I promise to post pictures often (I know everyone likes that, as I've learned a lot that way!) and will try to keep it interesting. I'm really looking forward to all the insight from you guys as well!
Enough words. Now pictures!
