Thumbs up 1957 Ford 300

Finally got my 57 home... lots of clean up to do and need to replace the floor pans.
Otherwise all very solid.
Can't wait to start this project.

Great looking car Jeff. Those Customs are my favorites. A Y block would be nice.

Jeff
I'm about 20 minutes from Braintree. When are you coming out this way? We need to hook up so you can see my old cars and my late model car (57 custom) that I've been working on.
Where is Palookaville?
I'll be sending you a PM.
