Re: '57 2Dr Sedan

No pics right now but will get some tomorrow hopefully. FINALLY brought the '57 home and to the interior shop! Winched it out of the covered trailer and pumped the gas several times. Fired right up and drove into the interior shop under it's own power. Jacked it up and put a set of "shop skates" under each tire. As luck would have it a light rain was falling, sure did bead up on that new paint. FIRST time it has EVER been rained on since I've owned it from 1975. Will go to the shop tomorrow with some McGuire's Quick Detail and soft cloths to remove the rain spots, cover with the car cover. Spent almost 2 1/2 hours talking interior thoughts and then cars/trucks in general with the shop owner.

He also has a '71 Malibu up coming personal project, '81 Monte Carlo (5.7 LS almost done), '85 1/2T short bed 4x4 in process). Nice to get good "car vibes" from him, feel good about the upcoming interior job. Gave him info on the board here.

Added a few pics from my cell phone.
