5k: Put A Fork In It: 1957 Ford Thunderbird

Rare?  I'd say this 1957 Ford Thunderbird (offered for $5,000 BIN in Ravenna, OH) looks pretty well done to me!  Tip from JPB!

    Stance!

    Personally I like the stock stance and see no reason to lower them like this.

    Looks like it lost a demolition derby 20 years ago. Should have used the Dodge Dart instead.

    Poor panel gap fit, but I LOVE the patina.

      The patina look is so played out. Car-BQ is the new patina.

    A visual aid for "crash & burn"?

    Isn't that a dead chicken on the steering column? My question would be: did the collision with the chicken cause the accident, or was it a ritual sacrifice trying to bring the car back from the dead?

      This is what they mean when they say rotisserie restoration.

    It is said to be a one fire car. We'd put stock wheels back on it. Wait...what site am I on?

    BMW, pay attention. This is "flame surfacing" done right.
