Getting closer to finish but had to redo the floors. Scheduled for interior end of Aug. maybe... Seems the closer you get something else pops up.

Looks good have you decided on the color? What drivetrain does it have ? Keep us updated.

That is awesome. I've wanted a pro-touring '57 T Bird ever since I saw a low, tube framed, 460 powered bird in a web feater probably 8 years ago.

Going to go with the original "Thunderbird Bronze" with a little more flake. T-Bird Bronze was a special order paint in 57 and was the only metallic paint Ford did in 57.all other was enamel. It has a 302 crate /w 345 hp. Got from JEGS. Added a Wiand blower so we're anticipating 475 -500 HP. TCI C-4 Street Fighter trans.(hope it holds up) Ford 9" with a 3:55 gear.

Thanks, really only wanted to update the suspension and tweek the 312 "y" block. Once I found out it wasn't a numbers matching car decided to do a one off custom.That was 4 years ago.
