I don't think it's anyone's business but yours. If they're lookin' that closely, they're lookin' for trouble.

Yeah, good point. Actually, the first part I ordered for the build was a new pit canopy!!!!!!!!

I edited one of my posts above to put up the Scribner car.........quintessential in my mind, but then, that's because we both ran at San Fernando, and they rocked!!!
There's a couple pages on Byrons site of just tri-five gassers.
Man, you guys put up a lot of stuff while I was huntin' pics.....

In my humble opinion, 57's look best with the 150 Series chrome like in the second video that Don linked. When I was 16, I worked at Liberal Super Market with a guy who had a yellow '57 150. I've been in love with that look ever since.

That is a neat look!!!! I'm a Ford guy, forgot the 150's had different trim... Were the 210's and Bel Airs trimmed the same, or were they different, too? Originally Posted by techinspector1

Well Dave, I guess by the response you've gotten on this project that you are in BIG trouble now. Every night you are going to have 100 people waiting for your latest update.
Get out in that garage, you have fans to take care of here, ya know!!!!

Yours looks like it might be a 210 body and a BA nose, little tough to tell though cause I'm trying to see holes on a dull finish.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon

Dave, if you like spokes, these gasser types being reproduced by ET would be perfect on that 57. They bolt on so you can run disc or drum brakes.

A guy I went to school with, Charlie Carter, wrenched on Beswick's car in the mid 60's!!!! Short little dude with one eye, you guys ever run across him out there??? After working with Beswick, Charlie came home and wrenched for the late Arnie Toftland who ran a Firebird convertible in SS!!!! Originally Posted by 406Rich

Glad to hear this Dave. Man this will be way cool drop me a note on its first Race Day and I'll be there---Anywhere---to watch her run down the track.
Besides it seems like I remember a feller telling me once that something like this would be better than watching Soap Operas, wonder who that was?????
Here's a few pictures to get the blood to pumping.....

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
