I traded
for my 1957 Chevy about 20 years ago. Someone had started a frame-off rebuild
and it looked like they changed their mind and just threw it back together. The
frame was rebuilt and painted and the underbody was painted white. They cut the
firewall, set it back and installed a big block, turbo 400 and a locked rear
end. Nothing else was replaced or rebuilt. I drove the car for about two years
and got tired of the mess so put it in my shop and completely dismantled it. I
replaced the firewall, engine, transmission and rear end, gas tank, brake lines,
wiring and everything else except the body and frame. Everything on it is either
new or rebuilt from the frame up. When I built it I planned on doing a lot of
cruising around the country and wanted the classic lines of a 57 Chevrolet but
with convenience of a modern vehicle. It is a very good driver in addition to
being a trophy winner at various car shows around the area. It has the following
equipment.
