New Job Started. . .'57 Chev 4 door. . .

 New job started on a '57 Chev 4door sedan and she's a big heavy bastard of a thing, geez they're bloody heavy. No wonder they need stonkin great big blocks to get their arses up and running! The subframe has been sand blasted and etch primed. After sitting aside for a little while this job is now full steam ahead with the subframe on stands and the motor and gearbox are in and the big diff is also bolted up. . .
Next morning the body is dropped into place on a full set of new body rubbers and bolted into place. Hard to see from this angle but the firewall is painted in a high gloss premium black. At this stage the owner is thinking of leaving the body unpainted and just throwing some clear over the old rusty exterior!
