Re: '57 2Dr Sedan

Really looking forward to the outing for the '57. Have driven it around town locally getting in a test ride or two, gas for the thirsty dual carbs and just really enjoying being able to drive it again. Does turn some heads and get the thumbs up. Still have a few things to do on it, guess they really are never done. Need to pull the rear traction bars, bead blast, prime and paint back to the original bright yellow they were when they were new. Either a new line kit or new air shocks for the rear, slow leak situation there. Did I mention that I am "old school" all the way, LOL. Also want to change out the '70s foam grip Superior 500 wheel I installed so many years ago. Adding a pic of the one that is planned, from a '58 Impala. Bought it off our local Craigslist. From what I read on a tri-five website that was a very popular wheel swap even back into the mid to late '50s.
