Gotta say, it took a few hours to clean out the frame!!! Hopefully, I can get enough junk yard parts to fit!!! This is just a before and after for ya'll to see.

Good! You'll have your '57 Ford and I'll have my '57 Chevy to race against it! I can imagine the plastic pile after cleaning up that bare frame!

Big pile. A real pain in the rear!

Looking good so far. Keep us posted.

I have that kit on the shelf, need to get it out and build a late model replica.

Got my Roush motor and Qchange in. (No it is not crooked, it's the camera angle) Spent a while this afternoon removing the side molding. That's a job a I really don't like. But....it's coming along well.

Kind of reminds me of this bad boy!

That is definitely a bad boy. Hopefully mine will get that look! I'm happy so far. Guess that just shows me, putting in a little extra work pays off sometimes.

Or maybe his twin brother.  Don't know why Imgur will not allow me to edit these pictures to a smaller picture.  Imgur says it is a 640X800 85 kb.  Saw both this one and the other at the North/South Shootout, Concord Motorsports Park, Midway, NC back in 2011.

   Looks like your off to a great start!  How much does a Jumpin' Jack engine set you back?

  Here's the fun size version.....

Love the floating roof and side windows! That's thinking out of the box for sure....Again, I'm still hoping to come up with something weird like this one!

I don't know if I would have the patience or the steady-of-hand to clean up that frame like you did Rett! Great start to that '57 Ford!
