    In my honest opinion, the Gassers are nice to look at and their owners put a lot of work into them, but.....
    I agree with Jeff and would never cut up a good car to build one unless it was a real serious basket case.
    It makes me wonder what those persons actually started with.

We all have a different dream for our 57's. Drag cars, customs, stock, etc. If I had one to spare that I could modify I would do a version of one that ran on the beaches of Daytona in 57..

Yes Rich......
The gasser I was showing in progress on another thread..... My pal donnie.... used 2 very very ruff 57 customs.So ruff in fact... his car has a custom frame.The best of the 2 was rotted 12 inches from the floor and is ALL hand fabbed.
Quite the dedication to do this... and he has been at it for many years.....
It's what HE wanted.... and that is all that matters.

I applaud his efforts and his final outcome is nothing short of stellar.

Jeff...I was refering to the guy who did/is doing a car starting with a super low miles all original car. I think you have some parts for yours off the one I was thinking about.

Yep, thanks. Love that car...LOL ... not exactly a sleeper is it, or one that was "saved".
Gotta give some extra brownie points for the one Donnie built for the save( or saves, since he used two)
