Thread: 1957 ford custom coupe from the netherlands

Lowered with the skirts,or without the skirts,all look good,also because its such a nice old car,,I would leave it stock...your choice,,but to me,it would be a shame to go any further than that..a good old style cruiser without bags,just lowered springs..its kool...
And welcome to CHR.

I had a 64 Ford Galaxie (same basic front suspension as your 57) that I put a power rack & pinion conversion kit on. Made a huge difference in how the car drove and allows you to keep most of the original suspension. I got the kit from http://www.wurthitdesigns.com/ It was a good kit but the guy was slow and a little flakey about getting the kit to me. He has some nice 57's on it site, too. Check it out.

Welcome to CHR. We have folks from all over the world here.

I like that '57. To me, I like them lowered and with 15" custom wheels (dislike the original 14" wheels). I'm not a fan of fender skirts, but of course, it's your car and your choice

I would drop it, shave the Ford emblems, Lancer hubcaps, skirts, tube grille, Lee tail lights, and paint it a solid color. What a solid car to start with.
