Since New Years Day was perfect in So Cal, thought I would mess around doing a video of my wagon.
I am wavering on getting quieter Magnaflow universal mufflers (part #11225). I just installed 2.25" pipes from the manifolds with Magnaflow XL turbo mufflers that are "almost" too loud...but most of the time I really like it...

Happy New Year, gang!

Car looks better everytime I see it...
Thanks Rich...it's a 10-footer...
Beautiful car Rob.
When we get older, loud is easyer to hear. I like loud. Nice driveway,, but I don't see any burn-out marks on it. Very nice car.

Yeah...I haven't even tried a burn out....yet...I don't think it's much of a burn out queen.
Plus...I learned my lesson when I was almost 16 (40 years ago) doing a burnout in my dad's '56 T-bird...I hit the side of the garage, wrinkling the right front quarter panel.
Great car. Love the color love the sound and love the camera crew, great job!
Certainly brightened up my day! Always had a soft spot for wagons, just might look one out when the Ranchero is done..............
Very nice car. That driveway looks nice, also.

Rob, about halfway thru your video there's a quick shot of your dash and there's a small trim piece looks to above the glove box and ends on the dogleg. Any chance you could post a couple shots of your dash ?

Wow , the car looks and sounds great. As I have told you I am going to copy your side trim by deleting the top trim bars and the gold aluminum on the sides. The car look super clean like that, it certainly is kept clean and tidy.

Here you go. The car exterior and interior were done when I bought it 9 years ago this month, so I don't have any of the info about it. I have re-done the drivetrain, suspension, brakes to make it driveable.
Pete...go for it. I really like the thinner trim, too...makes the car look longer, lower, sleeker. Kudos to the previous owner!
thanks! never seen that before wonder what it might have come from off. Car is gorgeous and that is a really interesting touch.

Thanks, Zap!
I was at a car show/cruise and a guy said he was looking for that dash trim for his car...but he was telling that to his wife. He didn't engage me in the discussion.
Wow...just did a Google search for "57 Ford dash trim"...lookee here...nice pieces...

Zap, Are you talking about the thin stainless piece that is the trim for the padded dash ?
Thanks! Now know what it is, just a bit of dash bling I either never have noticed or seen.
Zap- :unitedstates:
wildhog it is that trim...........
If I'm picking up on what you are looking at, most all, if not all 500's with padded dash had this trim piece, I have it on 3 of mine. Take care, Alvin
Got it on my 300 Custom..
