That will be a show stopper Tim. I have never seen one of these before. I love that windscreen, it's beautiful.
Good luck with the project mate.

They were only made from 1947 to I am sure it's 1957 , very rare car just waited 4 months for a rear screen from America , but now sure I have 90% of out side parts , just have to retain inside

My kid brother did up the twin to this car a 54 Hudson. What a tank of a car!! If I recall correctly a set of Honda Accura seats front and rear fit near perfect. What kind of blowers are you going to use? I have a pair of 3-71 GM blowers with adapters to run twin 650cfm edelbrock thunder carbs I have earmarked for my 462 cu in BBC to go into my 57 Chevy 2 dr sedan. Look forward to your project!!

I also have a Jag rear suspension and rear end at my shop. It is one of the easiest to swap into just about any old car body but not sure if I want it in the 57 Chevy as it's independent and I have a narrowed 41" Ford 9" rear with 35 spline axels that will allow me to run 15-18" tires under the car depending on wheel offsets. Also the 9" is an easy rear to change gears in to run different ratios for different drag race tracks. My brother was running an NA 5.7 Chevy engine and it was great for touring but lacked the punch you should get with the twin superchargers even with a 4.0l engine. So will be watching your project very closely looking for tips!! JIM

I have read a standard xjr v8 is quick than a Ferrari testarossa , only by 1 second , but bare in mind the White difference

 

[oldcarman]

That one second in a quarter mile race is absolutely huge! JIM

Hoping for it to be a very quick cruiser , but I am sure it will like the 1/4 mile strip
