I stumbled onto StNicks 57 project while surfing and really like the whole story -I'm his age and knew this is the forum for me! Had 59 Ford, had a 58, always wanted a 57- got one but never started it, now I bought one mostly finished cheaper than I could build the first. Tons of welding but got my wife's Falcon on the road (priorities, right?) so now I'm getting my new 57 ready for safety inspection. I didn't get any details with this new one so I'll post a pic when I digest how to do that and ask if anybody knows about the car.
Welcome from So Cal. Good luck with the build. Here's a link to posting pics. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...discussionid=18102&gmid=327154#gmessage327154 Also check out the 52-59 Ford group, lots of knowledgeable guys there. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/group.php?groupid=332
Boyd Wylie, sure sounds like the same guy that went to Steveston High at the same time as me. I remember you were in the same lineup (gettin busted) at the Ladner ferry road one day with your slick 6 banger!
