Sometimes I amaze even myself

[squatting dog]

Sun came out yesterday for a bit, so, I un-taped the 57 and rolled her outside. Turned out better than I ever thought possible.
Most importantly, wife is in love with it. (and maybe even me a little) Think I'll raise the rear end up a little.
Got a lot of odds and ends to do, but, seeing how it turned out has put the drive back in me.
So, what say you all?

Yeah, a little

seeing how it turned out has put the drive back in me.

That'll do'er

'57 has been my favorite year for Chevy
and they did that style for only the one year...go figure

Nicely done, dawg.....nicely done

That 57 was during my prime teen years. A friend of mine had one that was fuel injected. A real chick magnet. The twist in this George Jones songs pretty much says what I'm thinking about your 57 chevy. .

Those wings at the back are down right sexy. Better keep your speed down in a red car.

 

[DebraMae]

Awesome!

 

[Pinky]

Gorgeous ride .. well done!

Some cops pulled up beside me when I was driving a red Barracuda. When they saw it was a woman, they drove away. Looking for a fight I guess. Or a race!

 

[Jules]

Absolutely amazing! If you have other pictures of the steps along the way, could you post them too.

To be consistent with the period, shouldn't the rear end be lowered with bubble skirts? At least that was the trend in my day where I grew up. How about flippers (Flashy hubcaps with fins on the front wheels)?
