Here is the '59 as I found it in a 2 car garage.  The '59 body is on a wooden stand under which is a 67 big block coupe.  The '59 frame is on the left and the hardtop is on the right sitting on a 63 convertible (hardtop).

Before starting the work on the '59, I decided to build a new shop.  Of course when I started grading for the pad, we experienced one of the wettest summers on record.  The exterior of new 36'x50' shop was finally completed in September, 2003.
