I think you're doing a real nice job.
Gives me the incentive and courage to paint mine when I get to that stage.

Truck looks killer!!

Re: 1957 chevy family truck
 

so sadly I'm at a stand still I ordered some stainless steel button bots for the rear fenders and tail light section. I am going to do my wire all over but I'm torn between 21 circuit or 12 circuit. I don't have power windows or door locks. I may put a alarm down the road and I am defiantly putting in a small system. any suggestions guys. I see a lot of you guys run 21 circuit but most of you have the super nice dashes and all the bells and whistles. (my dash is stock)

Damn that looks good. As far as wiring goes, I used the 9 + 3 kit from Rebel Wire to wire my entire truck. I have everything hooked up and still have 3 open circuits for a stereo, and it was under $300 shipped to my door in Canada

Re: 1957 chevy family truck
 

darn I just got a 12 circuit speedway kit today. ive read a lot of good things on the hamb about rebel but the closer I get to the finish line the tighter my wallet gets :)

Re: 1957 chevy family truck
 

Really liking that color

Re: 1957 chevy family truck
 

Looks great! Your truck has big a huge inspiration for my own build. I started out with a straight axle and recently went to a camaro clip. Your truck's stance is awesome!!

Re: 1957 chevy family truck
 

thought I would add this pic as it has somewhat of a funny story to it that pertains to my truck. my dad is always telling stories (glad I listen even if he retells the same story sometimes :)) well one time he and my mom were coming from fresno heading to Tulare (45 minute drive) in the 57 and somewhere outside of fresno the fuel pump gave out. well my dad filled a water bottle with gas flipped it upside down and drove it home stopping every so often to refill the bottle, Tuesday after work i drove around town picking up a few things for my truck when i got 5 minutes away from my house my fuel pump died $45 to tow it when i live 5 minutes away couldn't do it so guess what i did thanx dad .....................Attachment 1240164
