I sold my 57 to my friend Ray around 1982 with the understanding I got the 1st right of refusal.... He had it tubbed without telling me and what an F ing hack job! I replaced the entire chassis and trunk area

 

Ok,

 

Going from beat up white to primer to black...

 

Here's my T roadster before and after. The before pic has the turtle deck and '32 shell sitting on there for a mockup, it came with neither.




Pic taken in the exact same spot. The shop's yard got as much work done as the car did.

 

^^^^^ You still have me on the will for that right?

 

Not much difference, but some…

Not what you might call a project but this was the transformation of my 57 BelAir while in high school, my second car, it came with a 283 out of a 64 Impala that the previous owner had installed, had a Fenton shifted three speed when I bought it, soon swapped in a B/W T-10 with a new Hurst "C" shifter.
The Cragars were next along with a set of headers and shortly thereafter I snapped an axle and a week later I blew up the 3.08's from the ensuing shinannigans then put a 4.11 center back in it which then necessitated a "traction enhancer", money was short so had a friend help build some Lakewood style traction bars.
I soon tired of the bland beige paint and after a summer of yard mowing I had saved up for paint supplies and had a friend paint it yellow and white.
This was around 1971 and the Jenkins "Grump Lump" fiberglass hood scoop was on all the drag cars in the magazines and I had to have one but again no money so a friend helped pop off a copy from one I bought at the local speed shop that we carefully taped up, then returned it for my $30.00 back.
I acquired another hood and cut out the opening then glassed it on and gave it a rattle can primer and flame job, the car really got attention then.

 

Holy crap man, you win!!! Looks like a scene from Hiroshima. Are you still cleaning up the mess?

 

The first '34 I ever built. Before.
