Hey Kenny how's the 33 and 46 coming.

syborg tt 01-09-2007 06:16 AM

I couldn't wait to show off the Rendering that Carter did for the 57. Carter has got to be one of the easiest guy's that i have ever worked with. He had no problem with me trying to get it just right. If you like this rendering you may want to have one done of your ride.

you can e-mail him at: [email protected]

love the stance and look of the project btw..

CHAZMO1986 01-09-2007 03:41 PM

that is one killer looking car, Here in my hometown of Harrison, Arkansas, there was a 57 2-door post sitting in a barn on the way to my dads, it sat there for about 15 years until last monday, some hillbillies decided that they needed it more, and stole it. They made it maybe an hour and were arrested on the spot, i don't know why i told that story, but the car is super solid, and i keep getting the same "we're gunna rebuild it," yeah and moses sailed across the ocean with columbus to discover our NEW land

diesel1114 01-12-2007 10:06 PM

looking great. great minds must think alike. I'm doing the same exact front bumper treatment to my 57 nomad. never did like those bumper guards. Makes the grill look more buick like.

TravisB 01-20-2007 07:03 PM

LOL.....well I am not sure if it is that or lack of picture taking skills. Because we have tried using my Nikon which is supposed to be a nice camera. I think is it all boils down to we can't take pictures wroth a dam

syborg tt 02-13-2007 06:07 AM

nice.............................................. ..............

syborg tt 03-15-2007 01:57 PM

Yep i know it's shocking but i do have an update.

Funny thing is that i should have posted pics on 03-05. But i just haven't had time. So I will post this weeks update today and go back and do the last two this weekend.

We contacted Classic Instruments for the Guages for the 57. They offer a set up for the 57 and we love the layout. We wanted to do something a little different so we asked if they would change the design to the All American Series. They said "No Problem" They have got to be one of the best vendors i've worked with. I look forward to using there product on future projects.

Mounting bracket

http://www.sportmachines.com/albums/...3_15_57_04.jpg

Okay time for the Kenny Davis Roast.

okay this looks like the wiring but of course we can all figure that out.

http://www.sportmachines.com/albums/...3_15_57_05.jpg


This would be the instruction book. I am fairly certain the Kenny's dad wouldn't have to read this but Kenny probably has to.

http://www.sportmachines.com/albums/...3_15_57_07.jpg

syborg tt 03-15-2007 01:58 PM

Okay this is a tough one. With the way he's holding it. I think it may have something on it that he is afraid to get on his hands

http://www.sportmachines.com/albums/...3_15_57_08.jpg

now that's a box a very nice box.

http://www.sportmachines.com/albums/...3_15_57_09.jpg

and this is the bottom of another box. I really think he likes the locking bottom of this box. Maybe it just impressed him and he felt like he needed to take a picture.

http://www.sportmachines.com/albums/...3_15_57_10.jpg

I'm quessing this is the "Blade" that he keeps under his desk. I bet he is going to use this on me the next time i am at the shop.

http://www.sportmachines.com/albums/...3_15_57_11.jpg

and Kenny don't think your keeping that shirt I saw it in the box.

kennyd 03-16-2007 10:09 AM

we ALL know how you are with photos , so i made sure you had plenty of them , even the wraping in the box , the wiring ,the bottom of the box , i was just trying to follow the instruction from the great marty aka" photo queen "

ps
to late i am wearing the shirt today , and i just got a bbq stain on it .

Is that with or without Salt

BRIAN 03-16-2007 05:43 PM

Those are ultra sharp gauges. There is no Company out there that has better customer service than Classic and they deliver as promised, an incredible product.
