mannn that car looks SOLID!!! Nice work Buddy . And excellent job on the wheel arches , a 57 is VERY tough to get a good lookin radius and stay true to the flowing lines of the original wheel opening , Looks like you nailed it , that looks great.

[demon79]

the wheel arches were done in the 60's so unfortunatly i cant take credit for that

Looks like you are getting some work done on it. Are you going to leave the wheel arches like that or are you going to do the edges like they did project X back in the day?

i plan to leave wheel arches like that because to fix them i have to replace the quarters plus i like the nostalgic look of it with the 69 nova hubcaps

When your done restorin that, That 60s chevy truck in the background would be a nice project!

Have you considered adding a rolled edge to those arches? It would add a nice finished touch! I've seen it done with 3/4" conduit, a bit of work but it looks like you're up to it!

Thanks for posting pix, we all enjoy seeing your progress!
Aloha,
