Finally, my build thread..

James, mine was originally white and I wish it were still white instead of black and white. I find that strange because my favorite car color has always been black. I love that Colonial White, also the Willow Green, but we have a 427 Willow Green floating around....

If you're going to switch away from yellow consider a really HOT orange, the 3 american oems had a few and Ford has had a few lately on the Shelby and mustang GT. The 2015 stang has one that is killer.

Am told that its a very small percentage of people that will buy a yellow car new or used. I love yellow cars only drawback to them is they seem to attract hornets by the dozen.

Well, the color has been chosen, the jambs are done.  Hopefully, this weekend can get the rest of the blocksanding finished, and the rest of the body painted maybe by Thanksgiving weekend.  Have a looky...
Got a lot of cleanup to do in the garage, hang plastic, then will be ready to do the deed.  Can't wait to see this old heap in color, finally.  The 351C C6 combo will be coming out very soon, and replaced with my 427 and manual trans.  The FE was the big motivator behind all this, and really got me stirred up about it.  Ready to drive this thing, hopefully by New Years...

[RICH MUISE]

Yes...looking good. Can't go wrong with red. THIS New Years??? lol

[Ford Blue blood]

Is that red??

[hiball3985]

Looks GREAT! Glad you are going with the FE, just what the doctor ordered for a 57...

[JPotter57]

Yeah Bill..the more I looked the yellow, the less I liked it.  When I snagged the FE, thats when I made my mind up to go with red..  and yes, Rich, THIS new years, lol...thats the plan.

[Zapato]

RED is a great color as long as its not resale RED, lol

My 427 MR heads got here yesterday..I'm like a kid at Christmas time...can't wait to get this thing screwed together.  Rings and bearings also here, should be together this weekend, and maybe back in the car next week.  Have some more painting to do before I put it back in.  Still have to get my flywheel resurfaced and clutch bought also.  It's coming, and it's going to be bad.

[Lucky'57]

You know what they say? If you want to get something done, give it to a busy guy. LOL Looking good Mr. Potter. 427, that will get you into the Battle in time to do some slaying.

It's been a while since Ive made an update.  It will be a little longer before I get pictures, but I am about 2 days of sanding away from starting paint on the body.  My roof is finished, all my seam sealer around the drip rails is finally done, and almost all of the blocking of the quarters is done.  I have to remove the deck lid, and do the rear pan and trunk rails, then finish the rockers.  Hopefully, by Saturday, it will be ready to spray.  I may take a day off next week and spray it.  Can't wait to get my doors hung again.  As soon as the shell is cured out, I will be getting the headliner in, and glass installed.  At that point, I can start installing the engine/trans.  Hopefully will get new photos of a bright red Ford this coming week.  427 goes in next week.
