Hey Guys!

Here is a couple pictures of my 57. I think posting pic's is a good idea.

We can all see what everybody is driving, working on or cussing!

Great looking Ranchero Briney! it looks like the same colours that I was going to paint mine, but kind of reversed.

I posted pics of mine too.

I also still like the radiused rear wheel openings. Mine were done for many years for Big tires.
Went back toward stock (not completely). This time narrowed the housing a little for tire clearance.
I still run a 8 or 8 1/2 rim with 275-60's. It's close but that how it looks good.
Very Nice
Later, Ron  with money!!!

Hey Patrick,  First of all -hope your mom is better, my folks are in their mid 80s and I am thankfull for their good health.I have a question for you , I just came in from my shop. I tried taking my rear tire off for the first time since I have owned this car , what a hassle! The tire is a TA radial only 6.5 inches across, mounted on a small aluminum wheel , I had to let the air out, and pry itout of the wheel well. With the rearend fully hung, I am wondering how difficult it was doing your rear radius? Your ranch is the coolest one I have seen,I have a picture of it on the shop bulliten board thanks  ,Mark
