1957-chevy.jpg bought for 2,000.00 off of a hippy that had it all decked out with shag carpet and little balls hanging around the windsheild, it was sky blue all over with 1973 olds 442 mags painted the same color as the car(i did'nt really like that look) would you?.I took out the very weary 6 cylinder and sold it for 2,000.00 so i got this car for free to (lucky me). I put a 2 bolt maine v8 with 11 to 1 high dome pistons,roller rockerarms,mild street raceing cam,duly heads and thrush mufflers with two inch pipe, I use to have the wide white walls on her but i bought a set of 1975 daton spokes as you can see, they had the small low profile tires on them when i bought them, when we tryed them on to make sure they cleared steering, tie rods ect.i took her for a spin,(I COULD NOT BELIVE the differance in the handling,if you have an old car put some low profile tires on it(if you can stand that look) i don't really love the look myself but the differance in handling is awsome, now i can take the s turns at 80 miles an hour on 95 north near patucet, the chrome is farly new looking and the paint is midnite blue and royal blue.When i go really fast which is not to often,over 120 the speedomiter bounces off the little restrickting rod, it's alot of fun to drive(get one if you can before all the rich people buy them up because thats real, they are buying them up and restoring them for profit, it's getting harder and harder to find a good deal,,,,,,,,,thanks for checking my stuff out.see ya  for now and good luck
