well guys, she's not quite complete but I figured I should post some pics.
I just got back from a 3500 mile trip to Canada's East Coast (hot rod tour). I've been thrashing on the car for several weeks prior to leaving for the tour, not much time to really break her in but she performed beautifully over the twelve days.
Here are some pics...enjoy!

Sure looks good. Nice job. Hell of a maiden voyage :003:
Very nice job,good looking wagon :burnout:
Thats a nice wagon, I'm building a ranch wagon right now. Keep up the great work and have fun
Excellent looking ride you did a great job I"am just down the road from you in Georgetown area I have a 57 Ranchero was wondering if you never installed the V/8 emblems on the wrap around grill or was this a 6cylinder wagon at one time? if you have the V/8 emblems would you selling them? or know were I could get a pair?
Like I said very nice ride.
Cheers Ron.
Matt:
Beautiful car and beautiful country. Both are very impressive.
3500 miles that was some trip. It makes me more determined than ever to upgrade my transmission to a 5 or 6 speed so I can take my 57 on some nice trips, too.

Awsome jod, it really does bring tears to my eyes to see that kind of work done so well.....well done sir!
Aren't u bored with this car and wanting to sell it (to me) :003:??

cool57 - I have to say that the interior has transformed the car, not that I was getting bored by any means, but now the car will stay with us forever...
