This is a 57 T Bird I'm working on for a friend. It has a fairly stout 351 with aluminum heads and a Mass Flo injection system, an AOD, a 9" with a Detroit locker, and a split brake system with an electric brake booster. The guy who started the project and was doing a nice job died, then his family sold it to a pawn shop that has someone cobble it up. I'm trying to get things sorted out but it's been a challenge because everywhere I look I find more hack jobs. Chafed and corroded wires every where, the positive battery cable was pinched every time the hood latch was pulled, the oil pan and oil filter were resting on the front crossmember, just to name a few things. It's a great looking car and runs strong at WOT.
