What, have you given up on sleep??? Posting at 5:30 in the morning….anyway, very nice little “sleeperâ€â€¦.your not sleeping, but this little bugger is! The buckets are a nice little touch…makes the interior more “cozy†then the big soft no support bench seat. Very well done.

Lyle,

You just can't go wrong with a 409!!

Can you imagine (or remember) what it was like trying to stop those old cars with their single cylinder, non-power drum brake system?! :rolleyes:

The light weathering looks GREAT!!

That really looks good, Lyle. A sleeper for sure. It reminds me of my brother's '57 that he should have kept!

Reminds me of my 57 belair 4dr hrdtp. I got the car from a friend whose family owned a garage. It was abandoned on the side of a highway. My best friend had a late 348 hipo that he had intended to install in a jimmy pickup. He sold the jimmy and the engine was sitting in his garage. I needed a motor,he gave it to me. It originaly had a 3-2 setup. but my buddy only had the four barrel manifold. It was a GREAT car and a real stump puller.
