I think it looks nice as is but an inch or so in the back would look good too.

Frame is at a stand still till I get back to Minnesota. But I am making progress on doing my custom interior and have a pic of the seat. By Thursday I will have some pics of what the door panels will look like also. The seats started out as stock 06 GTO seats, now they have ultra leather and some custom touches I did to make them less plain but not over the top let me know what you all think.

Well got my custom door panels made and here is a pic of what they look like. Still have to make my insert for the comet looking piece that will be body color. Tell me what you all think.

Also in about 3 weeks ill be getting back on my chassis to start mounting exhaust, trans the rest of the body mounts and build the mounts for the front clip. Then ill tear it apart for powder coating.

[racedaddy]

looks real good, did you do the panels? If so any step by step pics?

[521stroker57]

Yea I did do the door panels myself. I don't have any step by step but I can do a mock up smaller panel tomorrow and take pics tp show how it was done.

Well no real updates been trying to start my own upholstery shop and finish my friends 57 Ford custom. But soon will be getting back on the truck again. Here is a pic of the 57 custom we've been working on to get driving. We were going to autox it in des Moines at the good guys show but the trans Only had first gear and park also power steering fittings started leaking so that held us up. But hope you like the pic of the custom.

That 57 is one i have been building with my friend for 3 years. It has a 351C out of a Dirt track modified, has 480-500hp estimated. Custom Tubular control arms, custom Qa1 coilover set-up, Machined sindles to accept a custom wilwood brake system, has a stock frame highly modified with nascar truck arm rear suspension with panhard bar done. It has bonspeed clutch wheels 17x8s front 18x9s rear with 255/40 front and 285/40 rear. Mini tubbed, custom made floors front to rear. 1-5/8 front sway bar, more i probly forgot but here are some pics of the chassis.

Also i got sponsored with the Ranchero by The GMR and got some of their shocks here recently, the truck will have GMR Shocks at all 4 corners, and will be setup with The GMR logo when the car gets on the road.

I don't understand why The GMR doesn't fix their watermark.



Thats a sweet custom! I like the screw jacks.
