Doug did you catch the episode on MT TV where Pure Vision did a 57 2dr ranch wagon? The car was awesome...….. Only took 2 yrs, My wife wondered how much it took to do it. I told her 100,000 more or less.

Garry, I didn't see it, but just checked out several videos and pictures of it. Very cool car! While mine is pretty straight, and the interior is actually in really nice shape, it does need some typical rust repair in the quarters and front fenders. At one point I had most of the exterior trim and chrome in NOS, but sold most of that off. I still have a few pieces though. I may save it for something to work on in retirement. You don't see '58 2dr Del Rio Wagons every day!

Updates in the members section should be required for both of these posts! ;)

Leny, that sounds awesome! Been watching your occasional posts with pictures for several years now, and that is SURE to be an incredible car when it's finished! Can't wait to see that blower sticking out of those stretched fenders...with paint on 'em!

Thanks, It is coming along Great, I had to bore out the one piece timing gear because the stub cam has two different shafts sizes, then make a hard washer for the idler bolt that is going to run the distributor, the heads are on so it is starting to look like something. Leny Mason

Since this seems to be the Comet section...mine is to get my 427 into my '65 Cyclone in 2019.

The Econoline axle install is almost done, now motor mounts and cage are next.

To get the 427 back and running in the 68 after the car spent too many years on the rotisserie.

Wow that method of posting a picture certainly didn't work out........
