    The other day I had the pleasure of photographing a new build for a 57 Ford Gasser, for insurance appraisal purposes. I was so impressed I asked the owner for permission to show it on the HAMB, I think I also recruited a new member

    1957 FORD 2-door. 429 Ford Cu.In. C-6 Auto. 9" Rear.

    All new floor pans, rebuilt trunk with 68 Mustang gas tank.

    Custom full length Ladder bars and beautifully installed straight tube axle.

    The radias wheel wells are awesome and are fully boxed and rolled on the inner edge.
    The fender well headers are not bad either.

    I will let the pictures speak for them selves. Larry

    Don, I am there if I am available. I assume you worked things out with Mark? and where in the hell is your avatar????? Larry
     
  26. Looks Great Donnie, quality build....... please check your ackerman though, in the 10th picture it looks like you are running rear steer spindles on backwards, getting that straightened out will sure help handling and prevent excessive tire wear when cornering (I may be completely wrong, it may just be the angle the picture was taken) . otherwise it looks awsome

    Look at these Ford factory Super Charged '57's. The Station Wagon had dual quads and they all ran real well. All were Y block 312's "tuned up by good mechanics too
