Finally have my 57 Ford Custom finished.
Some bugs being worked out,..but for the most part,... up and driving.
Some trim is still need to be applied, and the interior and Bus. rear tray to be finished... but overall.I am extremely satisfied. 5 years later... I am back on the road. Now I need to finish the other 57 ......... hahah |

Yes do enjoy it. Is that a T-Bird hood scoop on it. It looks nice. What under the hood?

Re: Finally have my 57 Ford Custom finished.
WOW Jeff!
Your black custom business coupe looks absolutely beautiful, and I like the mean looking stance that it has. You have obviously invested a lot of time and money in that dream car and now it is paying you back with satisfaction. Enjoy your beautiful car that you built with your own hands. Jay |

Re: Finally have my 57 Ford Custom finished.
Love it. Looks like an unmarked cop car from back in the day. Georgia State Patrol had some '57 Fords in Plain Jane trim with 312s with supercharger. What's the third character of the serial number which indicates the assembly plant? My father worked at the Atlanta plant when they were building them.
