| I've been working on collecting parts and figuring out what will become of my little 57. I think that the new chassis will be in the bag soon. a 73 IRS with disc brakes on all four corners. I am also strongly considering the T-4 conversion. I know that there are easier ways to get the same performance but the duribility will be unserpassed. Lots of time to consider the options... |

| well it looks as if my ol early 57 was origionally Horizon Blue. Its a nice color but I think that its gonna end up as a diamond green car... I want an origional looking car even though its gonna be far from origional... |

| You may want to opt for narrower tires/rims. Those will stick out beyond the fenders by about 1-1/2" due to the '73 rear suspension's width. |

The rear wheels are actually almost exactly flush with the outside of the fender. I was surprised that it almost fits in there. If the fender was just 3/4" wider, it would be great... |
