REF 58... i am in the middle of making a 5 and a half inch beam with custom shock towers and i will be rolling the chrome 5s when its done i will put up more pics
the 55 has been narrowed 4 inches  ....plan is to run the 55 for a while then a full resto...cant run it long as it is with our weather over here,every day it will get worse  |

Yeah...keep the "shit box" as is, it's fucking beautiful. Don't cut it, don't paint it,, don't sand it. Don't do anything to it...I love it! The 58's just another beaut, a really really nice one...but the 55 is golden. I'd trade a 58 resto for a 55 original any day
