Got home around 230am today. As some of you know, I sold off my f-bodies last year and ever since, I've been wanting another car to work on. Well, Melissa and I went on a little road trip down to Texas to pick up the new car
It's a 1955 Plymouth Belvedere
Can't wait to start working on it. It's solid with no rust except for the passenger fender around the headlight. It's got a second gen suspension under it right now and I'll probably keep the front but switch the rear to a Mopar 8.75 rear. Next step, try and find a 392 hemi
Here's a few pics from the trip
we found this fun road to drive along

Looking over North Carolina on I-77

Leaving Memphis over the Mississip
Brownsboro, TX. The place that time forgot. We must have seen three dozen old cars just sitting around waiting to be restored.
They guy I bought the car from had a nice collection of cars he was working on...
57 Chevy
55 Chevy
64 El Camino
he's selling this 55 chevy 1/2 ton
as well as this pro-street 66 chevelle
We didn't sleep much, but it was an awesome trip, except for Jeff offering free bj's in Atlanta, and the masturbating truck driver in Frystown
