Slick work, I remember it from your previous post. Next time, just shoot a PM if you want a post moved. It's only a click away, well...maybe three or four.

^ ill remeber that for next time.

well since now your up to date with where the car is currently at i feel like taking the time to show the awsome history of this car to show how its evolved of the years from a stock 56 chevy to the full custom it is today

the car started out as a the sherriffs personal car in 56. it still had a light on it and cb antenna that were taken of and the holes filled in 57 when it was given back to the local chevy dealer and then sold as a used car. thats when a young local guy bought it. he bought it late 57 this pic was in feb. 58'

Did all the custom changes take place during the 2nd owner's period? Or did it have more owners before your gramps?

it had the same owner from 57 to mid 60's then it went to a mexican family in portland. then another guy bought it and fixed it back up. then it was sold and went to vancover for awhile then a lady in portland bought it and was driving it everyday to work at a tavern out by where that krispy kream is where they had the sat. cruise ins. then my grandpa bought it had it for a few years then sold it back to the owner that did all the original custom work. then 2 years ago he asked my grandpa if he wanted it back so he bought it back.
