Wow that is one nice build. The two door wagon would be my first choice 0f all the 57's. Had one that was just too far gone for me to finish. thats when I ended up with the 58 that i am doing now. The only thing I would have differently would have been one piece limo. glass in place of the sliders..

Very nice. I wonder why he was selling it. I noticed there wasn't a wiper motor on the firewall, did he mount one under the cowl or just not have working wipers? I am also curious about what those seats originally came in.

Seats look aftermarket to me...maybe Glide Engineering.
He does have wiper arms, so wiper motor in the cowl or under the dash. He could have used a '58 cowl section to move the motor inside, but my guess is no, because he also closed off the cowl vent completly...so no access to anything from up top...makes me wonder what happens if he's got a repair to the wiper arms. Particularly with a restomod and all the extra stuff that's likely to be under the dash, it would be hard to get enough access panels under there to work on a wiper arm or old pully and cable system. With all that said, what would make sense is individual hot rod type motors...no pulleys/arms inside the cowl.
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe
