    John, I'm going to have to hide this post from my wife. She will be jealous and I won't hear the end of it.....

    Very nice present and Happy 50th Anniversary

              John the interior looks like a Retro Bird. I've been thinking of doing that to my 1955. Get a totaled retro bird and merge it into the 1955. Any comments or suggestions welcome. Your 1957 looks great!

                The entire car is a retro with add-ons.

                  It really looks well done.... Id love to see the front of the car... and from the title of this thread you contracted to have this done rather than finding it somewhere.

                  Brad, you see this? I dare you to show it to your boys.

                            Normally my son and I do must of the work on our cars except for paint but in this case I had to hide it from the wife. I got the fenders from Robert Ferenczi in Staten Island NY .
                            Had the body work done in Naples Fl. Anthony's body shop and the Interior at Ted's auto trim.
                            here is a picture of the front and interior parts before finish.

                              Again, very nicely done. One of the best "blends" I've ever seen.
