 This 57 will recieve a full custom sculptured interior. Pat Berry, of Crossroads Auto Body in Rapid City, SD, is the owner of this beautiful hardtop.  We have begun to fabricate the door boards.  The headliner will be sculptured as well. The frame work and base board have been installed.  The center console will be a challange. The sides must have a removable panel for access to the fuses.  The seats were done a few weeks ago so the car could be displayed in a show.  Custom embroidering was stitched in the seat backs.  The steel frame work is being covered with a PVC plastic.  As you can see this molds and forms very well.  Custom armrests are built. There will also be door pulls built in.  This is a rough drawing of what the panel will look like.  The headliner is taking shape.   The rear deck panels are almost fabricated.  The bars are stainless and will be polished.  Now we can really start to see what it will look like!  We just need the dome light installed to complete the liner.  Now that the liner has been installed the insulation can be put in.   Starting to cover panels is allways a good thing.  The top pieces have been fabricated and we are close to upholstering.      A pad has been made across the lower dash.   You can see the fuse panel well in this shot. The insert is easily removed for fuze replacment or the entire side panel can be removed.  When the stailess bars are polished and installed it should really dress this one up.  The door panels are done. Now it's on to the trunk.   A little snake leather on the wheel ties everything together.  On to the trunk!  ABS is used on the side panels. It forms well and will last for many years.     The underside of the decklid is all thats left on this one.  The stainless strips have been polished and the deck lid finished.   The rear stainless bars are polished and reinstalled.  One last detail under the hood and this one is ready to enjoy.  Thanks for viewing one of our past projects. Please visit our current project page to veiw what is in the shop today. Visit A&A Restoration where most of the fabrication on this car took place. Roy Keith Classics & Customs 719 Jensen Hwy.
