Hubert has had this car for about 10 years, and planned exactly
what he wanted to do. He purchased components along the way
to spread out the cost, sold off the stock stuff to offset some of the
expense . . . After a lot of TLC, she's a A REAL rumble puppy!
Like many older vehicles, many things needed replaced/repaired
before the radical stuff began, floorpans, inner rockers body mounts,
etc. We've learned (Don and I) along the way that the term direct
replacement for a '57 is an subjective term. Many "direct fit" parts
had to be modified/tweaked to work.
