I'll try and remember to ask about it to be sure, I'm a little more ignorant on the 57 as I wasn't involved in it, the owner has had the car since 1969.

Nice, fine looking piece of machinery!

Here is couple shots maybe you can tell better on the bumper? Is there an aftermarket support for those? I'll still ask about it.

So hoping to get the last of the major fabrication done on my truck this weekend? New job didn't work out cause I am not eligible to work for the government I found out, someone didn't register for selective service when they was 18.

Here is a little tidbit on hot rod magazine with the wagon my bro built, full article to come soon.

Made some filler panels to clean up the rear, the roll pans for these trucks never look right.

Added a little bead rolling to the top one.

Love the rear "pan"... the bead detail seems perfect.

A great idea on the filler panel, and like Mike says the bead work is spot on. Nice work!

Thanks guys, cleans up all that empty space they have back there, also I believe we used either a coupe bumper or a truck front bumper which has much more curvature than the rear truck bumper. I think it helps add to the curves the rest of the truck has outside that bed, bumper brackets where also shortened up a bit.

Haven't seen it on the floor in a long while.

Really like the way the bumpers came out! Front end is way kewl!

seeing those huge openings for the headlights reminds me how I would like to modify my 48 pontiac with Indian motorcycle teardrop headlights.

Your whole truck is cool! Ditto above front bumpers came out great!

Well they aren't done yet, also still working on the rear on a bit, I talked to another wheel vendor yesterday so I am going to double check measurements and hopefully put an order in next week. Wheel vintiques has only wasted my time.
