1957 Ford Fairlane 500! Update on work progress. Y Block V8 driving! Classic Cars Fender Skirts

Update on the '57 Ford Fairlane 500.

Got the Fordomatic transmission transmissioning again. The linkage and kickdown has been modified and out of adjustment so the car was shifting too quickly and wouldn't downshift when the pedal was depressed.

The bad boy racing wheel was replaced with the original. I also installed new tires as the ones on the car were very old, mismatched, too small and dry rotted. I painted the fender skirts brown to match the car and show how they work.
