It had nice older 5 spoke Mag’s and I gave it a Fresh Paint job in 1983 of the same color. I drove the car for 11 years before attempting to do a total ground up restoration.

At first it was a disappointment because none of my friends were willing to help as they had no interest in my car.I put the project on hold for a few years and restored a couple of Impala’s! Finally the day came and I started on the ’57 again.

I was able to get some help from some Seasoned mechanic’s who owned similar cars. They gave me an education, and I did the work myself.

It was very rewarding to do the work myself. Now, I think I could put a 57 Chevy together in my sleep.The 57 Chevy Bel Air 2-Door Hardtop Sport Coupe that you see here is Black Base Clear with Red/Black Interior.The interior is original material and the door panel’s were bought new and assembled.

The Dash has a custom polished aluminum insert and polished aluminum face plates on the speedometer, oil, and temp gauges. It has a chrome Ididit tilt wheel column and some Lokar components such as the foot pedals and cable driving carb and trans assemblies.

All the fasteners are stainless, and it has a 6 speaker Alpine stereo system and SUB. Kick panel speakers are molded ABS poly and the dash door and ashtray are chromed too.
