Dan,

Yes I just read Gerd's animal encounter post, and left my own story in reply.

Yes the firewall color is the exterior color, and that is also the same color on the rims. Metalli-Chrome Bikini Blue.

Here is a mock up of what it would look like with thin white walls. (gotta love Photo Shop)

EXCELLENT!
You are taking MUCH better care of that 54 than the Rat Family that had it before you did.
I am proud of your work!

PS Guscha's 'Cars & Animals' Thread is going strong/crazy. Great diversion from mechanical labor. Happy Thanksgiving.

Well I have been busier than a one-armed paper hanger, so I have not had much garage time. But I got a few things done today.

I had no luck finding the correct seals that go between the front spindle and the backing plates, so I made my own out of bulk gasket sheet. I also got all the bolts and various hardware for the backing plates media blasted and painted.

On a lighter note, while I was out in the garage I noticed that the old car calendar I had on the wall was still on November, so I flipped it to December and low and behold, a nice '54 Packard for Christmas!

Also we get these discount cards in the mail every so often for a local Mexican resturant for our birthdays and anniversary and things like that. I guess the last time my wife and kids went there, for a joke they filled out the birthday club card. This is the card that arrived. Look at the name on the address.
