Really nice car. The black wheels look pretty sharp and the hood scoop goes with it to.

Is that an early 60's t- bird scoop?

It is a really nice car, but actually the one thing I am not sure about is the wheels....as long as he was changing from OEM, I would have picked something a little glitzier.  The hood scoop may be the same as what Gasman put on his.

Ya, well the 63 Bird hood I have for the Ranchero is a copy....not!  I've had this parts car for three years and have planned on grafting the scoop on to the 57 hood for a couple of years.  Oh well, at least great minds think alike! :003:

I really like what they did with this 57.  Tasteful interior modifications.  He took the engine right out of my Shelby GT.  I just am in the midst of having an Edelbrock E-Force supercharger installed on my Shelby, but mine is still bone stock otherwise.  That's my daily driver and with 80K on the stock engine I'm hoping to keep the horsepower down to about 400.  That's plenty for putzin around LA's streets & freeways.
