Projects My 57 is home

I've done a bit of blacksmithing in my life but these take a lot more experience to do than I'll ever have.

 

That floor tray is so neat that I'd have a hard time covering it up Jeff.

 

That sounds awesome. Though fords supercharged 312 really was a sleeper. With all of them above 340hp. The chev and most other cars never stood a chance.

 

And Stogy...

Jeff...Your not done yet but pretty much buttoning up another milestone...as said by the extended Hamb audience it looks sinister...congrats and yeah it's truly one of the best times of the year to be out there...

Sorry I missed the Jam and further congrats on your seniority milestone...

So what was the package tray deal for...UPS 1957?...

 

moon shine!

 

Factory directed solution for the underworld...

 

Very very cool car.

 

in actuality it was for door to door salesmen and such to deliver things when you dont need a full sedan delivery.
moonshiners just so happened to put it to use most

 

Think Fuller Brush salesman...

 

I can imagine the bitching yanking that stuff out of the back with a tudor as opposed to a fordor but looking cool overrode practicality I suppose or it was cost, fordors were traditionally more expensive I understand...and that's truly past history.

 

For some reason all I can picture is a Fuller Brush salesman driving a Rambler.

 

More proof you don't have to know how to everything- you just need friends.

 

I guess it’s made from aluminum? I’d have one of those in a heartbeat.

 

hmm... I know of a '58 70D in need of a tray...

 

He should take some time to make a dozen or so... they would sell themselves.

 

BITCHIN!

 

I cringe at the thought of the cost to ship one to the west coast.

 

Looking at the pictures of the part and being a former '57 owner, I think it would be worth the price to get the end result.

 

Imagine a garage where you can walk around TWO cars...

 

It's been one helluva Fall so far...It's nice you were able to get out for a bit to enjoy the rewards of your hard work in getting this beast together...Hopefully we get a few more weeks of dry cool fresh air before this years over...

...It's time Jeff...

Larry wants to see it...

Imagine a garage (or shop) where you can see the floors.

 

Jeff to "finish" the wheel wells give the rattle can rubberized undercoating a try. I have found that laying a cover coat down then while the first coat has just started to flash back off a distance and shoot, it will give a nice pebbled finish that has good texture. The second coat will be a light coat. You will need to experiment with how far to back off and how long to wait to get the texture looking good.

 

Jeff, that tray is a work of art!

 

...Loaded and ready to rock'n roll...

Looks awesome really...Just add a couple Pizzas...Between that Trunk and the Tray you have a warehouse for storage...
