finally some prgress

well I havent really touched my 57 in a year or so but in the last month ive really found a new intrest in getting her done. my dad and i finally started on the "Painless" wiring kit. everything is done except for the gauges on the dash and wiring the battery and starter. so as money comes in i should have her running in a few weeks. all i need to do so is get the electric fuel pump the fuel line and get it all plumbed in. Here are some pictures for those who are intrested.

I agree though. That is a great color for that truck. Looks good to me.
