This is the progress report on what my custom is starting to look like. I hope to get the front gravel pan painted as soon as our crummy weather lets up a little.

Remember that rusty grill that I talked to you about that I cleaned up and clear coated? Well that's it.
That's the back field. If I cut it, where will the deer sleep?

Hey Jay.. can you run that YOM Mass. plate?... it would be very easy for a man of your talents to change that "8" beside the "E" and replace it with a "C"!
Hahahahah

That's a good idea.
I just might do that this winter in the cellar where it is warm when I don't want to make the long cold journey to the shop.
The 816 on the end should be changed to 312. The 8 would be easy to make into a 3. Making the last number 6 to a 2 is going to require some thinking. Then it has to pass the DMV inspection

In my opinion that is the best 57 I have seen in a long time. Kudos for keeping as close to original as possible.

Looking good!

Thanks for the comments guys.
The look without gravel pan and front bumper is starting to grow on me, but I don't plan on keeping it that way..

Nice looking sedan

JPotter57 · 2013-10-23 22:38

I love that car Jay...cant wait to see it done.

sprink88 · 2013-10-24 17:10

That is looking sharp!

Limey57 · 2013-10-25 03:29

Very clean! Panel fit looks spot-on as well. Who makes the front anti-roll bar, is it a kit or a custom made one?

Ecode70D · 2013-10-25 05:52

That front sway bar is a bolt on kit. The front bumper and brackets still bolt right on with no modifications. I'll have find out the name of the company that makes them and let you know.
I bought it new w/o papers from a friend of mine that did not use it.
If someone on the forum knows the name of that company, please let us know. There must be someone that used a kit like this on his car.
