In doing a little research I stumbled on the fact that my car is actually not a '57. It was built in June 1956. I have changed the title and the banner, but I'll be leaving the URL alone.
That means I have owned 2 ovals in my life. Both were 56 on a 69 pan. But that is where the similarities stop. The last one was not painted well, the dash had been cut up, it had crappy wheels and stock size tires and it had been hit several times, the final time it was hit so hard it was rolled up on it's side. Nothing fit right, it had it's share of rust and I was 18 with no money when I built it, so it was not done well at all.
I still look fondly on that first 56 you had. This one may be better, but that first one was pretty awesome too.
