I'm not sure which 57 your talking about at Rolling Thunder but this car is out there a lot. It hung around Glenwood Iowa for several years and several owners back in the late 80's early 90's.I bought it in the fall of 92 and replaced the one piece glass front,(it was delaminating and busted up bad) with parts from a four door. Some trim pieces and the dash were salvaged,a 427 ,turbo 400 was installed and dana 60 and tubbed for 14x32. I raced it two years and sold it to Jeff Haggland who still races it today. I painted it and added the "JOE COOl" snoopy lettering . Jeff has improved the car and it definately runs better then when I had it.
I remember the paint was cracked real bad ,I assume it was Laquer and when we stripped it it was thick. It even had the original red and white under it. Thanks for posting it!
