Ha! Sure thing....although Ill probably hear all about how it should not have shaved doors, air bags, bucket seats, DVD headrests, a 350 bored 30 over, a 900w surround sound stereo system, and OH MY GOD PAINTED BUMPERS...they didn't have painted bumpers in 57!!!!!
Also, this was originally an 8 window 210, that was converted to a 4 door panel....which ALSO didn't exist in 57....it was "OH NO" customized!!!

Hey that's awesome !! What gauge steel did you fill those windows with ? Did you do it all yourself ? We did that to an old Ford wagon once and had hell with the filler panels not flopping and twisting after the install. We ended up running a substructure after the fact.
It was 18G and I think we should have used 16G.

I didn't do any of it, I bought it as is....although I did upgrade the transmission. I don;t know what gauge steel it was, but it was very solid and thick....you could tell when you would knock on it how much stiffer it was than the other panels on the car.
I bought it as a business venture for display...it nearly paid for itself. It was a fun car, but more show than go, which is why I got tired of it.

Do you have any pics of the Ford you did? Love to see it!
