Barn 57
I've had this car for about 2 years and is kinda the side project when I start thinking my truck is hopeless. It is a 4 door 210 1957 with the original 235 and a three on the tree. It's been my "I hope this works" project that really got me started on welding on old cars besides just floor pans. Its fun to drive now if you don't mind the smoke, rusted out doglegs on the rear doors and A arm bushings that are bad enough when you brake it chunks and moves the steering wheel. I'm not going to do anything more than try to keep it somewhat original.

Re: Barn 57
Here is the fenders, I repaired the left front of the fender. Also had to replace both bottoms. The hood is in the back ground, fenders are next to be painted.... Have to finish the truck first though.

Re: Barn 57
I don't think that's going to work without a second belt.

Re: Barn 57
Hey 57 guys is there a order recommanded for putting the front back together? With the inner fender, the 2 fresh air intake, blower motor and fender, it's more than normal. Also I am having a hard time finding the vacuum advance for the origanal 235

Re: Barn 57
You will have this back on the road in no time if you keep it up. This is helping me get back in gear on the 56.
