really nice job on that car. It's very difficult to make a '57 stand out from the rest, but you guys did it. Absolutely love the wheels as well and the carbon touches are bitchin.

By FAR the coolest 57' I've ever seen. I could look at the car for hours. Do you guys have more pics of the rear of the car? Carbon fiber bumpers on a 57'...how cool is that?!

I followed the build and enjoyed it, thought it was a great car. But I don't think I really "saw" the finished project until now. Really, really nice, and I don't dispense adulation on every over the top PT car I see. Very interesting front end, the wheels seem like they would be ridiculous and out of place on a '57 but for some reason they flat out work.

That Mustang makes the 57 look like it was made 3/4 scale.

Thanks guys I'm very happy with the results. We tried to do something different and yet tasteful. We built this car in 11 months and that was alot of work. We did everything in house short of the carbon fiber and interior work. Very pleased with the results.

Accuair gave us a SEMA top 3.
