check out my 1957 ford custom 300

Nice ride keep it forever within the family.My vote is an old set of Ansen slots 8" in the rear with 6" front runners, duals exiting in front of the rear wheels!

 

Widened steelies look good on those cars. I've had 5 or 6, got one now. I loves me a '57 Custom or Custom 300. Of course, my vote goes to vintage "mags" up front with widened steelies out back...

 

That is what I would suggest also. It would look bad ass. Even though the car already looking sweet. I am sure its a blast to drive

 

Yup. Its impossible for me to see a 57 Ford without thinking 'Thunder Road'... But I watch the movie a couple of times a year, too.

 

Does any one know what spindles to use for disc brakes on the front?Any drop spindles made?

 

The Granada spindles work on '57s and I think Fat Man Fabrications makes dropped spindles. I know there are other options out there also....

Steelies and slots -no cragars there for chevvies

 

I vote for steel wheels and dog dish caps.

 

just added the pics of the motor.

 

I just got light colored Torque Thrust D's 15x10 and 15x4

 

Nice. They will look the business.

 

Here are a few more pics I found the two colored pics are from 1990 the black and white was back in 1968 at our home town track Mel Larsons now known as SpeedWorld Dragstrip.

 

Why not try local? Street Rod Performance 5330 W.Missouri Glendale,AZ (623)772-0053 Good Luck!

 

I did. Not much help thanks for the info though.

Granada brakes offer about a 2 inch drop without cutting springs. All you need to do to bolt on is taper ream the bottom ball joint hole, I think it is a 7* taper, I would have to check my records to be sure...Otherwise, easy swap.

 

Great car! miss my old custom 300...

 

back on the road way too much fun!!!!
