this makes the 2nd 57 sedan i have owned the first one i had was around 1991 or so and i was too young (21)  and in too big of  hurry to do it the way i wanted  and honestly it was too far gone for a  person with the limited experience and knowledge that i had at the time

but now at the ripe old age of ahem 38 (cough)   and with a car that ALOT better off condition wise  im finnally gonna build the 57 that ive allways wanted

the first 57 i had  was powerd by a 62 t-bird 390 and a toploader with supposedly 4:10 geared 9 inch maybe steeper (was a active sportsman type reacer back when)  i watched it sit and rot in my nieghborhood for like 17 years in the guys front yard  until i bought it ( i wanted to do a frame off rebuild on it)  but as me and my friend lifted the body up off the frame the floors started falling farther down (sooo i sold it...) 

the car i just bought recently has had ALL the floor pans replaced from the firewall all the way to the rear bumper and had patches welded into the quarters  (so im allready farther along with this one)it doesnt have a engine or trans  but im seriously concidering a 390 (as an omage to my first 57)but with a c6 trans and a better highway gear (and to be honest even though its VERY unlikly and hard to belive this 57 and my first 57 have soo much in comman that they could be one in the same)

but at the moment  ive got to wait until it gets here (come on next saturday)  and really sit back and take a good look and decide where and what i want to do with it

well im looking forward to asking and learning from alot of you (if you dont mind ) and getting some input one things to do with the old girl 

i was at the last 2 nmro shows in columbus and have the pics to prove it (if this site is friendly to picture posters i may be could be persuaded to post them )  many of the yblock cars i know some of you if not all of you were there racing  and i talked to harry hutton (who lives just up the street from me) about maybe getting a car from him  

well enough of my rambling  talk to ya'll soon
