Heck no! That would mean more work lol.

 

Thanks Fargo I like the cragar's, they ain't perfect, but they clean up ok. But if you was closer, I'd put your *** to work!!!

 

Thanks Steve Come help wire up some lights and we'll see how it does on the road!

You'll have to bring it here for that! Wired mine with a Painless custom harness. Battery and fuel relay in trunk, ignition system hidden in glove box, electric fans. Did my friends' '57 with a repro original harness, they can be ordered for generators or alternators. In his car, I simply added what I needed to handle his electric fan and stereo equipment. All the lamp sockets etc were spot on. His original gauges & warning lights all function, in addition to aftermarket gauges. Remember to byp*** the ballast restistor! That's the way to go for sure.

 

Man I'm just not into them door poppers lol. I'll fill the lock cylinder holes.

 

A complete pile! Lol... thanks man, it'll get there, not sure where, but there

 

Figured i better address the broken spring Left the main leaf and replaced the rest of the bundle. Had this horrible feeling that it was gonna raise the car but it's still level

 

Looks better every time you post a photo. HRP

 

Thanks Danny

 

That is gonna be a good looking car Lloyd!
The 57 is my favorite tri five.

 

Thanks buddy I've probably painted 10 tri fives, but this is the first I've ever owned, it's growing on me

 

Pulled the plugs, there was 3 champion, 2 autolites, and 3 AC's lmao! They were all gapped at .030, except #1, which was gapped at, well let's just say it wasn't gapped at all stuck new AC's in it, wow what a difference!!

 

It helps when you got fire in ALL the hole's! Lol!
That new signiture line crack's my *** up!!!

 

It about sums it up don't it? Lmao!

 

It sure the Hell does! Haha!!!

 

I guess you can sit and stare at **** all you want, but it's not gonna fix itself lol. Figured i better get my *** busy, since maybe there'll be somewhere to go next year in this thing much of the bodywork that's already been done on the car is good, but there's a few spots that were never "finished". Poor ol car just never got much love. Join me while i "love" on this right side rear wheel opening

 

Bust that thing down with some 36 on a DA, throw some filler on there, and choose your weapons!

 

Bust it's *** with the blocks and 36, shape the lip, and rub that sweet icing in there

 

Here's a little tip for those that don't do this everyday, spray a light coat of flat black spray paint on the reveal area that your about to shape. Sand on one side of the feature line and you'll be able to see it and make it not ****. Then move to the other side.

 

Something like this....

 

Nice!
