    Hey guys,
    I am new to the HAMB, and of course here. I own a mild kustom 57' Ford custom 300. Its nosed, decked, and shaved, I am running a 351w with a FMX behind it. I inherited it from my Dad, who p***ed away three years ago. He did all the body work, and modifications to the car. The things I've done since are newer interior (64' galaxie buckets, and console) , engine and transmission swap (sorry Dad), and I'm in the process of replacing all the front end bushings, and installing a heavier front sway bar.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Welcome from So Cal. That console in there will look great. 50Fraud has one in his 56/55 Ford and I'm looking to add something like that to my 56.
    Still want to see some pics.

    Hey Tim...Welcome..Rich here. I finally just got around to doing an intro. You know my car, I may have been better off hiding. LOL glad to see you here buddy.
    For the guys that don't know Tim, his dad was a long time member on the '57fordsforever forum, and when Tom p***ed away, Tim kept the car in the family and is doing a great job of making it his own without taking it too far from Tom's vision.

    Thanks Rich, it never ceases to amaze me on who is lurking in the shadows around here! Lol! I think you should talk about your car. After all, its your car, your vision, your time, and especially your money! Besides the quality of work that you put into it should not go unseen!

    Thanks! I need to do something about the door panels, they are original, and look it! The inexpensive way would be to just do a pleated door panel, I like the style of the originals, but very expensive. Any suggestions?
