Re: '57 2Dr Sedan

Well finally after 44 years of being in primer the '57 has a NEW paint job in COLOR ! Picked it up from the paint shop Weds. and back to my body guy to start putting it back together. Install windshield, back glass, side glass, door guts for windows and door handles, stainless trim, dinal adjust for door gaps....etc. Not sure how long he will have it and then it goes for interior. Hope to have it ALL back together and finished for cruising weather come spring. Needing to get a decent car cover also is on the list.

A few pics of the paint prep and a few of the painted body. Have a few more pics in the camera but not downloaded to the computer yet. Really liking the color choice, 2018 Chevrolet Silverado pickup - Shadow Gray Metallic. Was a bit nervous when picked it out trying to visualize that color on a '57 but am really very satisfied.
