Re: My Blue 1957 build
Breathtaking!!!!

I'd also like to know as Jim (bowt!ed) asked," the under the dash valance?" and if you please, how did you accomplish the door panels? My interior doors are just plain ugly! lol

Really nice truck. What steering column drop did you use, and what size drop is it?

Valance was made for my truck. Not a pre-fabbed unit. The door panels were acoomplished by paying a very well experienced upholstery guy to make them up. Started as a 1/4" sheet of board then he layed his foam and forms.

Column drop is another custom piece

Re: My Blue 1957 build
Havent been on much, because nothing is new. Though this should be a busy week. Tuesday we are supposed to be picking up my dads 58 chassis and components and getting that back together hopefully in a few days, then my 57 should be done from touch up. Then i have a couple weeks before i have 2 shows in a row. First up to Pismo then the Brothers show the following weekend.
