Phildaupho Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) Very cool. I like the Meteor grill. An older guy in high school had a green one very much like this but hardly ever went to class so did not see very often.

Lovefordgalaxie Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Looks cool. That's my style of custom. AMT grille, hubcaps, headlights, steering wheel with horn ring, valve covers, air cleaner, and lakes pipes. Lakes pipes are not from the '57 kit, they look like the ones from the '62 Pontiac custom.
