Wow both look awesome. I love the 2 door sedan. I always wondered what the 57 would look like if you modified the headlight assembly to the same angle as the eye brow are tried to clean up that area bit. but that me miodifying the car in my mind. You guys do great work!

Thanks for the congrats and compliments guys, i actually like that idea of making the headlights match the angle of the bucket area csx i never thought of that but would look really cool. Now i need to get the car on the lift and finish the chassis. hopefully i can get there in the next couple weeks or sooner hopefully. Also i will be getting custom made body mounts and gussets for the chassis and custom sheet metal cut with the B57-R logo in them. Stay tuned for the updates.

Hey Guys
Well after a long awaited space i will finally get to start working on the 57 again.
So first i will be making new motor mounts, dont like how i made the last ones so they are going to be gone. Also i will hopefully get some custom gussets, adjustable watts link plate, and hopefully many more custom plate pieces made from Dicks Hot Rod shop in Lakeville, Mn which my brother runs. Then i will be making the rest of the watts link and new rear shock mounts for the new GMR/King PT-R Shocks and front shock hoops and firewall bars to pull it all together.
Well look for new updates this next week and maybe sunday if i get lucky.
Also does anyone know of a good place to get wheels widened?
And if you have any cool ideas on a hood latches since the stock wont work anymore with the engine set back it would be apreciated thanks guys hope you like whats to come.

try 63-67 vette hood latches. i had a set on my 58 ranchero years ago and they worked out pretty well

Hey guys
Well no updates so far been too busy with my new upholstery shop.
Also I will be reconfiguring the chassis after looking at it with my brother (clementime56) we found some weak links in the chassis so it will be altered and hopefully be stronger after so im currently waiting to build a chassis table with my brother and his co-worker(cmhyatt) from Dicks Hot Rod Shop in Lakeville,MN. So when cmhyatt is finished with his chassis for his 51 chev truck(AREA 51) we will be building a new table off of the table his chassis is on.
