1957 Skyliner restoration

I agree with Tester that a real head-banger would be any rust issues because to do that even halfway proper really means a rotisserie job.

That nickle and dime interior and trim stuff will also nickle and dime you to death. I’ve got a 79 Z-28 here that needs a lot of trim work and those knick-knack parts are very pricy even on a somewhat generic garden slug like this.
It’s got a cracked T-Top on one side and as luck has it, the car has the Hurst setup. The last time I priced a pair of Hurst tops from Year One they were 2200 dollars and that didn’t include the rubber seals for them. That measly pair of rubber seals was priced out at 900 dollars.

Ouch and double ouch; and that doesn’t even include the 2 dozen or so interior trim pieces that are proprietary to the Hurst tops. If you can even find them.
