I am new to the 57 ford world. And will need a lot of help to make my 57 the way I would like it.
Welcome Jerry, looks pretty good so far! Mark
You can't be needing too much help...that's a gorgeous car. Maybe I'd paint the hood scoop red to match the car/ not be so prominent...but other than that it sure doesn't look like it needs much. I love the stance...exactly what I was looking for in my car. Could you do me a favor and measure the difference in height between the rocker behind the front wheel well and the rocker in front of the rear wheel well?
Engine, tranny??
I like the subtle scallops, and the chrome wheels as well. What size tires/wheels are you runnimg?
I'm sure the rest of the guys, as well as myself, would like to see some more pics.
I agree it looks good, also I'm like Rich, I dig the stance.
I also agree with everything Rich said too!
I also posted this in the "General Discussion" welcoming Jerry. Those cut coils give a bitchen stance, but can also give a crappy ride as Jerry mentioned in his other post...
Welcome Jerry...very nice looking car!
I have looked to these guys for a bunch...the r&p set-up and beyond. I am still using the stock front spindles, but went from crappy cut coils to 1990 Ford Aerostar springs. You can see the part number and photos here...it is an inexpensive ride height fix. This thread also covers the r&p conversion and a bunch of videos over the past year-plus if you go back to the first page...
