As most of you know i'm not good at leaving well enough alone.

So were back at the 57 with a little more work.

Bob Thrash from Rad Rides is doing some sublte changes to the styling of the 57.



The first change is the Engine cover



Back into the paint booth



Adding a little color to the back fin

Absolutely beautiful.

I just don't know how you could nail a 57 post any better than that.

[syborg tt]

just wait till you see the pictures Josh Mishler took.

WOW WE is all i can say

[Krazed]

That is the most perfect 57 Chevy I have ever seen. If my dad saw this, he would immediately buy one and probably hound me to build it like that.

That's top notch work!

Like the changes, Bob does not seam to get the publicity that others get but he really makes cars shine. I know there are a lot of talented guys at Troys but you have to admit that you see his work stand out on most of the cars they produce.

absolutely gorgeous

Congrats, a real example is set with this '57.

This is not a criticism, just an observation. IMHO I liked the rear quarter panel area before it was painted that tan color. It made me look at the whole car and my eyes weren't drawn to one area.
