  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Best way to explain is put both windows down on the cars. With the Sedan you still have the window/door frames in the opening with a hardtop and both windows down the whole space is wide open. Cool car either way.:TU:

    STAGE III Lost Experimental 455-4 Bolt Main Block.

    Jewels on velvet

    Here is a pic of my 58 Special if it helps any.

    Those are some cools cars for sure.My family and I even went out and picked our Christmas tree up in it (strapped to the roof on a blanket, probably would have fit in the glovebox too heh heh).

    Excellent memories, the color took a little getting use to for me:rolleyes: but it was like a people magnet.

    Guess they figured "How dangerous can that guy be driving a "pink" car:laugh: :laugh:

    And tailgated, and came alongside you, sat there and stared at your car and not the road.
    Some may have even slowed down to see what the heck was in their rear view mirror, all the while not paying attention to the road in front of them.
    Ahhh.... The joys of driving an old car. :laugh:

    I love those chrome slathered '58's! :beer
