If anyone is following my 1957 big block Custom project, I finally got my bumpers back and the headliner installed. The link is at http://www.lakefrontflorida.com/57ford/headliner-bumpers.html. Anyone want to buy a home in Central Florida? It's suppose to be in the low 70s tomorrow. We give free lifetime snow removal with every home we sell! :glasses9:
If anyone is watching.....please. all of us are watching this one. Beautiful old car.
YOUR BUMPERS CAME OUT GREAT...HEADLINER ALSO. wHAT DID THEY CHARGE FOR THE RECHROME? dO THEY HAVE A WEBSITE?
I called Randy Conner and he recommended North Star in Minnesota. I learned that they have been bought out by Keystone Automotive Industries which is a huge national company. Their website is http://www.keystone-auto.com. I also learned that Keystone has depots all around the country and as luck would have it they have one in Orlando. I took my parts to the depot and they gave me an estimate of $960 for both bumpers and four bumperettes. I thought that was a pretty good price considering the condition of my parts. The only bad part was that it took 3 months for them to do it. The parts came back unbelievably good. I highly recommend them.
That's a fine look'n ride and a extra nice build. You gotta enjoy
driving that.I feel the pain you went through. I did about everything
on mine also. Lots a work for sure. I think this was my last. I just
don't have the energy anymore. I have done several though.
Good luck and wring it out once in awhile. :burnout:

I feel the same way. Don't think I'll ever do another one from the ground up again. I usually drive my projects around for a while before selling them. I have two friends that are bugging me already to buy this one, but I want to finish it. I've restored a bunch of cars in my lifetime. Always wanted to do a 57 Custom and never got around to it. I guess I can scratch that one off my bucket list. :sunny:
