Darin Bastedo Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 I love the color combo, but I'm not so sure about the continetal kit. I've always had a soft spot for these entry level 57's
Joe Handley Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Boy, full hub caps and connie kit sure look odd on that car, nice color combo though.
walt francis Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 So Albert how high are we going to go with this LOL..Yes this is a big want on the list and to do the 57 ford the same way
Rick Schmidt Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Will the car be able to be built as a street car out of the box ??? I really hope so that would save me a lot of the hassle I'm going through declassing my 55 into a 150
Billy Kingsley Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Here's an even better idea-3 of them in fact! #87 Buck Baker (1957 Grand National Champion) #47 Jack Smith Can't make out what the third one is, #40 or 44 would be Rex White and #46 would be Speedy Thompson I'm going to be doing at least three of them....Definitly the 47 and 87.
James W Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Hey...how come the Ford's hoods are not tied down like the Chevy's? They must have a superior latch design. Just kidding. I know the Fords don't go fast enough to blow the hood open. Boy am I going to catch it for that one.
Rick Schmidt Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I'm goin with the superior latch design lol Besides they go plenty fast look the two lead cars are Fords lol
ramonesblues Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I've got a '57 Chevy kit stashed to make the conversion to a model of my '57 210 sedan.When is thit kit due out? Anyone know?

I know the Fords don't go fast enough to blow the hood open. Boy am I going to catch it for that one. The fords have foward opening hoods.
LUKE'57 Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 The fords have foward opening hoods. What Darin said. If you look close, a lot of the Fords had the cords on the rear edge fo the hoods close to the windshield.
Len Geisler Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Albert, I love the "Plane Jane" looks of that ride, not sure I do the connie kit, but man, I gotta get me some. I already have an MCW Resin Black Widow, suddenly it isnt so high on the list of "to be built".... Thanks and keep the killer pics comming.....
