I inherited my '57 from my father who recently passed away. We shared a love for cars and we always enjoyed talking about our projects. This is my first trifive and I have fallen head over heels over it. My dad restored her about eight yrs ago but it didn't get much road time with him having other other vintage cars. I am so glad that I have a piece of him that will live on and I am reminded of him every time I turn a wrench on her. I don't want to stray to far from his intent but, I want to make it mine.
Some of the things I've done is replace the TH350 w/ a 700r, replaced the original steering wheel with a Con2R 15" unit, swapped the instrument cluster with a Dakota Digital VHX system and I am in the process of swapping the entire interior.
i have to sort out some braking issues and I am debating another paint job(it's a 10ft'r)
Thanks,
Eric
