    Lookin' pretty cool Dave. I've been watchin', but haven't been posting much.


    This Chevy buildin' must be good therapy for you. lol. I should build a Ford just to see if it works. (Can't believe I just said that).

    Thereapy??? Am I back in therapy again???

    Couldn't help myself Pro, this '57 just kind of followed me home one day and I had to do something with it!!! Betcha if you had an ex-gasser '57 Ford land in your driveway that reminded you of a car from your (somewhat mispent) youth, you'd be all over it too.... If you do, let me know and we'll trade, all this chebbie stuff is tarnishing my Blue Oval Image!!!!!!!!!!

    Sure would like to have it done by August Pro, supposed to be a gasser and altered showed in Eddyville!!!!

    I made the openings 31" diameter...seeing as how it's an old style gasser the openings will be way higher then the tire anyway!!! Street tires will be 28.5", slicks are 29.5"

    I must have missed that in the thread.On a AMC called "The Average Nash" they cut a square up and over the arch of the opening on the quarter panel.Then pc'ed in the expansion in the center keeping the same arch.Then trimmed each end of the cut-out and welded it back on the quarter panel. I looked stock and was pretty slick.
    Good Bye
