    I have a 57 2 door post and i am looking for some old 50's 60's style pics to help me get some direction. I seems that every 57 that I see these day's has more billet aluminum in it than a bud light distributor. that is not the look that i want. I am trying to decide between lead sled or hot rod? If anyone has some cool 57 pics they would like to share. It would be much appreciated.

    thanks

    Forgot to say, I agree with you on the billet. 50s/60s style is where it's at with a '57 Chevy 2 dr sedan!
     

  5. I looked around some and see what you mean about all the billet. Personally, I'm more of a custom guy anyway. I'm sure you're familiar with this one featured in Rod & Custom. And then a cool pic of Roth's '57. Don't rule out looking to other tri-fives for ideas, like McPhail's 56 or Moriarty's (Savelesky) 55.
