Today, anything you want is just a few mouse clicks away. Acquiring various car parts for a restoration of a popular classic car is not the daunting task it used to be.

| I knew that the hood, trunk lid, and steering wheel were missing from having the car painted decades earlier. I found a nice original hood (middle) on Craigslist. This parts seller also had an original orange steering wheel he threw in for no extra cost—left over from his restoration. |

| Probably my most amazing Craigslist find, and this happened days after I got the '57, was this original PowerPack intake manifold to replace the wheezy two-barrel on the car now. I think the original 4-barrel Carter carb (that I found locally days later) only flows about 400cfm on this manifold, but should be plenty for a 283. This intake was a smoking deal at only $50. :) |
