Good to see you here Jeff. Love your artwork and your truck.
Heard you got a 57 on the HAMB.
Ron :burnout:
Ron, are you welcoming "Norwell"? Can't wait to see more on his car if that's who is now here. Great artist follow him every Friday on the HAMB.
Zapato,
Yes, he's listed as the latest to join here. Seems like a cool guy.
Ron
Great! I love his artwork on the "Friday Art Shows", and just recently he posted asking the difference of various 57 models. Will be a great addition to this site. Welcome! Jeff. :unitedstates:
Lord ,,that guy has talent.I went and checked out HAMB only to find I may have been the one to get him to the site.I think I dun good :006:
Hey Fellas!
Thanks for the warm reception...I will do my best to be a regular here.
First off.I must say this site is KILLER! So much great info and stuff to look at.
I just bought a 57 300...I believe a 57 300 custom tudor..... all black and a very cherry Texas car.
It is safely stored in the Panhandle right now until I can arrange pickup.......(most likely in the upcoming spring)
The car presently has no engine or tranny. The sheetmetal is super cherry and i am stoked.
My plans are to build a bad looking All black runner.
I want to build a bad Mutha like this......
Ron....i think you know I have mentioned this several times..... your Chero is absolutely right!!!!!!!

I have been a 57 ford nut ever since I was a kid...here are more pics I collected over the years of what I want to build.....
I am really leaning towards a 390 FE with a 4 speed or maybe a TKO 5 speed.
I really LOVE Y blocks... but the 390 might be a better choice for the long term drive-ability factor...
Any tips,suggestions are GREATLY WELCOME
More pics.....

Sorry for all the pics..... I am a visual type of guy :burnout:
Glad to have you part of the forum. There are some talented guys here.
I look forward to seeing you on your vacation. I hope my new stroker Y-block is going so you can go for a ride.
I loved the Bob's HAMB auction last week.
Anything you need just ask.
Your '57 is going to be wicked.
Pat
Pat...THANK YOU!.......We are traveling to your great state in a few weeks and going on a whirlwind(or tornado!) Tour with the Owens.....

I see that 57 has a Barrie Poole built Cobra-jet, that thing would sure get it done. :burnout:
