Summer of 2024, Cale (now age 16) got a job working at a local hotrod shop (L&L StreetRods, Kasson MN https://www.landlstreetrods.com ) He worked there full time during the summer, and now after-school for a couple hours a day.
As of yesterday with most of the other cars are put away for the season, it was time to get back to body work on Cale's 55. He worked on filling and sanding some seams and areas we patched while I hammered out the dents in the roof last night. (post now current... updates will come up as we make progress) |

That's awesome! This is going to be a really nice car. I'll be glad when my shop is finished and I can start working on my '55 again.

In July, we picked up this fresh rebuilt 406 with an early Corvette dual quad setup on it from an estate sale. I bought the entire contents of the garage, and told him to sell everything he can and when I get my money back, the engine is his... so he'll be into this for nothing. I also gave him access to my parts hoard to put together everything needed to put a Saginaw 4spd in it.
I got a nice pair of Tri-5 Appliance headers with 4-bolt flanges for free, so I gave him those, and picked up a cheap Hurst shifter to fit the Tri-5 w/ bench seat at the Jefferson swap meet. We're putting together a pretty nice vintage drivetrain on a high-school budget. |
