  1. Looks great!  Awesome work!

     

    One thing to note though is that you may have a hard time getting tail lights on with bumper already on, given the long studs on the lower housing and the lip that tucks behind the bumper end.

  2. I really love this color, and the interior color is nearly as seldom seen as the paint color.  There was a Limited at the national meet in Gold Mist, the first I'd seen.

     

    It's too bad about the terrible square mirrors though; now there are probably a couple holes that would be seen if the original style was put back on.

    Looking for the following

     

    Roof rack

    A/C compressor, hoses and accesories
    power steering pump

    Radiator

     

    might need other parts as I get the car and get further into it

     

    Thanks

    As @Smartin mentioned, I do have a nice stock radiator for a 57 but 57 is different than 58, the one for AC cars is different anyway.  I also have a 58 radiator, but it is from a car with flight pitch transmission.  You may be able to make it work if your car has 2T version but not certain how different it is but it's my understanding that there is a difference.

  4. Some or all of these parts may be present in the trunk or something.  If I was in the market for another 57 it would be worth calling about to discuss, along with a more realistic price.  On most cars, I'd just move on if price was too high.  On a really nice survivor with potential though it's worth the inquiry.

     

    @NailheadBob my next car will be at least 11 years newer...

  5. Wow!  Really neat car!  Unfortunately looks like at least the AC compressor is missing.  Has the rare early version AC vent on the dash, which I've only seen on one other car.  There was a campaign to replace them with the much nicer chrome one, but some cars never had that done.

     

    I can't decide whether I'm unlucky or lucky that cars like this are rarely nearby.

    Lance, The car looks absolutely fabulous.  Congratulations on your Senior Gold Award.  Well deserved.

     

    I hope you can get this car on "My Car Story" with Lou Constable as well.  

    Lou has already said he wants to come and do a video so that will probably happen.
