1957 Painted !!!!
Many of you follow what we do and who we are.......
Prior I posted a 57 that we did and that is it was going to paint
Well.......
Its painted!
Car is a VERY VERY early 57 - all the parts were dated 1956
Car was a drag car - bought out of California and went to Texas and then purchased in 1977 and went to the Midwest
These are the original colors - Polo white with silver coves and red interior
All the jams are satin cleared
Car will be an NCRS judged car / Paint is all PPG - black out is SEM
Questions ask !!!!
Thanks
Chris Sherman

Good to see the progress!
Oh ya, by the way, at an NCRS chapter judging session last Sat, I judged mechanical on an FI 58 (took off a total of 2 points). The two guys doing exterior judging took off several points (almost full deduct) on the paint for OVER restoring. I ain't that critical.
The ONLY thing on the planet that is better than a 57 Corvette (or 56) -------------------------------------- is tow of them!!!!!!!!!
