1957-58 Plymouth build

[TerryM]

After finishing my pace car build earlier this year I bought a 57 Plymouth with the view to build a 58 Christine with my son. These are a few of the build progress pics over the last 6 months.

few bits of hidden rust

Someone had made up some butchered front chassis mounts. I am still not sure why they were ever replaced

 

[TerryM]

What started out as just a quick paint and cruise car started to get a bit more work.

 

[TerryM]

I found it had a hard hit in the drivers door and sill. Also the passenger quater panel had been replaced a long time ago. I would say probably early 60's by the repair.

Man that is impressive !! Really sharp looking, the stainless looks better than new.

Great progress! Great fabrication skills! Looks like it will be much better than new, when done!

Congrats,

Wow, you sure know how to keep busy. Fantastic work, that's going to look great when it's done!

WOW!! very impressive! you've done more in 6 months than most do in 6 years. It took me 2 years just to find parts when I was restoring my Christine about 15 years ago. Great Job! If you need help with any specific details let me know, I'd be happy to help you. When I restored my 58 I was able to take measurements off my buddies real christine movie car.

Great JOB!
