    I have loved your 57 forever :) By far my favorite 57 custom, even cooler is the fact that you bought it new! It was a fuelie car originally wasnt it?

    This was going to be my straight axled gasser. Just before I started on the car, I had just installed a Camaro subframe in my 56 F100 shop truck. The Ford road and handled so good I decided to put a 68 Camaro clip in this one. That lead to a tubbed the rear, pr of M/T 21.5's and ran a 468 BB with Muncie 4 spd. Turned out great, but I had regretted not building it as the straight axled car I had originally planned. 15 years later, I finally built my current 55.

    Here is a 56 210 I did back in 1999. Bought a nice clean,6 cyl "driver" from a friend in Colorado. This one got an LS6 BB/Turbo 400. Paint was 30+years old. Sold the car at Rhinebeck and as far as I know, still has the same owner.

    The car was done in several
    different ways over the years.

    awwww, i loved the black. the red was neat when you still had the baby moons on. not so much a fan of it jacked up like all the rest now. still a beautiful car but compared to the black, its just not the same!

    This is a original steel hood that I grafted a scoop off of a Harwood S-10 glass hood with the Z-28 scoop on it. This 55 hood was one that I had that someone had cut a hole in many years ago so I decided to put a scoop on it.
     
  30. The car as it sits today, my favorite, when was it done that way? As long as I can remember, it looked the way it does now. How about a time line? Thanks....Centurion9
