Nice to see that I am not the only 57 Chevy owner who has had to bust a few knuckles and get a car back to running . It can get a bit frustrating at times.
Yeah, my brother had a 57 Chevrolet. He would put me on his lap and let me drive home from my brothers house which was about a mile away in Anderson Indiana. Times never forgotten.❤ I miss you brother.
Hi....i am from the UK.....may i thank you sir....for brining a classic peice of American Engineering back to life. i myself....love classic 50`s American cars....the 57` is a special favorite of mine...it would be my dream to own one.....and i`m 65! lol!...keep up the good work sir!....
Hands down, my most favorite car ever! My Grandfather had a 5 door wagon that I wanted to fix up when I got old enough to. Unfortunately, it slowly rusted out in his back yard, and he sold it for parts. This one is in amazing shape! Wouldn't take much to bring it back to top form. 👍😁
You’re a very lucky man to find this 57 Chevy two door post in great Shape,Still runs sounds good after all the work you put in to it did a good job .I wish it was my mine ,wishful thinking but anyways thank you for sharing my friend.
Ahh, sweet memories. My Dad bought a brand new Chev Bel Aire 4 dr. sedan in June of 1957. It had a 283 V-8 with a 4 barrel carb. Oh how i loved that car. It had a "Sierra Gold and Beige" two tone paint job. What a beauty. Wish I had it now. But,...I do have a pristine 1967 Chev Caprice with a 350 cu in engine and auto transmission. Love it too. They just don't make 'em like that no more.
Love the ‘57 150 two door sedan. Good video. I did have to laugh at the traction bars coupled with that 235 Blue Flame 6 cylinder engine! Good luck! She’s a beaut!
I wish to see this Beauty Run&Drive after Properly(!) repair&Restore , Upgrade! Sorry Guys,please stop it to show this Skill to bring old Motor to Run. best Wishes&Greetings from Germany!
Glad to see you working on that old car and getting it back running. Get you some new plugs points condenser wire distributor cap rebuild that carburetor at car run pretty good probably change that oil really good. I believe I would leave the paint like it is and put the original white wall tires back on it with the original hubcaps and ride it around. If you do any more videos on that car post on I'd like to see them. Great job brother.
What a moron, too lazy to even take off the tires and free the brake drums. Any engine will run as long as it wasn't blown up before it was parked. The straight 6 engine was used in demo derby cars because it would run even with no water in it.
Sounded like there was a dead cylinder.Not surprising after 30 years of sitting. Good looking car despite the rusty floors. And the rubber nose belair front bumper over riders look interesting against the lack of trim on the 150's.
Damn dude,, you say hasn't ran in 30 years ? First thing you do when it starts is to rev it up for all its got !!! Damn wonder the crankshaft didn't come in the front seat with you
Love your 1957 Chevrolet 150 I have the same one in Larkspur blue nothing like those three on the tree transmissions. I haven't started mine up in over 30yrs either. Thanks for sharing your experience. Hopefully you will keep it stock. I was going to modify mine but have decided to bring her back to her natural beauty.
He probably would have more subscribers if he would actually talk. I for one am not going to subscribe and won't be back to see any of his other videos for that very reason
Should cut out entire floor and put a one piece pan in it. Probably couldn't get enough roofing tar off the floors to weld partial pans in. If that stuff caught on fire from grinding or welding it'd be too toxic to breathe. Other wise good. But, I wouldn't recommend revving a newly started engine like that. Give it enough rpm's to stay running & let the block warm up for a bit first.
Something about the start up after 30 years dormant seemed a bit too aggressive. Is the motor seized up ? Perhaps freeing the front axle would have been a better way to start?
The Common 235 inline 6 cylinder engine--other option was the 265 cu.--same as newer 283 but newer engine was Bored Out more. I had this same 235 in my 54 Chevy Bel-Aire Sport Coupe...
I could see stray sparks under the bonnet in one of your shots, I suggest you check the plug and coil wires, could explain the rough running . It was on the drivers side of the block
Beautiful car; love the Spartan appearance of the 150's. Appears someone in the past exchanged the steering wheel for a 210 wheel. If I remember correctly, the 150 only had a horn button in the middle of the wheel???

Beautiful car. Loved seeing you get it back in working order. Also love that there’s no talking. Enjoy that machine. What a treat!
Yeah, my brother had a 57 Chevrolet. He would put me on his lap and let me drive home from my brothers house which was about a mile away in Anderson Indiana. Times never forgotten.❤ I miss you brother.
Everything I see you do is old school, and, I really appreciate it! I'm a 74 yo mechanic, and, I am enjoying this! Keep it up!

No talking, no watching. Good luck to you.

Awesome work. I like these types of videos where no one is talking. You do great work.
Nice to hear only background music. ASMR I love it.
Love the "Tri-Five Chevy's"! Good luck with her.
Great show keep up the amazing work be safe my friends God bless all
One of the best car designs ever.
Great video. Im also working on a 1957 chevy coupe .That part fixing the emergency brake was really helpful . All the best.
Beautiful car... With the original color, the green trunk would look wonderful!
He cranked that 1957 starter like he has ten of them new in a box.
Fantastic car. Well worth sorting!!
Awesome body ! I had a 57, was bronze with a white top, 283.
Love the ‘57 150 two door sedan. Good video. I did have to laugh at the traction bars coupled with that 235 Blue Flame 6 cylinder engine! Good luck! She’s a beaut!

Nice thanks for sharing ..keepem coming

Thx for showing all the real ways for a back yard guy like me!
i love the look of 57 chev's i like the original colour in the boot what a cool car 😎.
It's fun watching amatures resurecting cars.
Another one saved and a job well done by yourself as usual 👏
Except for missing grill the old girl is in remarkable shape.
Wow! A clean start!
Superb as always. Keep up the good job!

Another classic car wasted on a moron.
Another excellent video
Awesome!
My younger brother Bobby had a 57 chevy two door in Bel Air trim. We had a lot if fun in that car. Great memories I miss him.
Great job so far, I will finish your video later
I'm glad to see a nearly perfect 1957 Chevy put back on the road that is my favorite car of the 50s
Super nice car! Great work señor! 👏
What gem i always loved these cars and the 55
About that process, unsticking the brakes..any hints of the solving that problem..????

Después de 30 años parado su motor sigue siendo una seda, que bello auto, que tiempos increíbles de autos hechos con el corazón.
Love it. I have one. It’s a 150 sedan. Great find 👍🏻✌🏻thx for saving it. And for sharing this with us all
I really enjoy your content and production style. No dialogue. Many RUclipsrs could learn from that. Keep up the good work.
Good find mate 🤙🤙🤙
The optimism of whoever installed traction bars on a stock 6 cylinder is impressive.
Yeah I laughed at that too
Has a tach too. lol. Maybe they had high hopes ❤️
Somewhere back in the dark ages I was a teenager too
Jeez man, easy on the rpm's on initial start up, holy moly you're lucky it didn't pitch a rod, wow !
I wouldn't waist my money on electric auto
It's the next wave of cars. That and hydrogen
Your mechanical expertise never fails to amaze me! Another fine job. You should have many more suscribers!

"The car looked 'scrawny' at first, but after the makeover, it's like it hit the gym for six months!"
Cool channel, keep em coming!👍👍🔥
Those '57 Chevrolets are the most popular and prized autos of the fifties !
Those red motors are bulletproof, we can still get tune up mods here in Australia, enough to give the V8 crowd the blues lol
It's not a holden red motor (173,186 etc ) but a Chev 235 which is physically bigger and better.
Cool 57 , a little work and you'll be having fun .
Thanks, working on it is a part of the fun too
OMG I'm loving it !! Great job and awesome video !!
Gue bueno esta eso me gusta mucho tus videos desde cuba te seguimos ❤❤
The headliner and seating upholstery looks fabulous!! Say what color did that end up being? Looked like a dark gray or silver
I’m curious what is the end game with this car? Restoration for resale?
Heck yeah… floor boards aside… looks to be a great find👍🏼
Something about the start up after 30 years dormant seemed a bit too aggressive. Is the motor seized up ? Perhaps freeing the front axle would have been a better way to start?
Blower up Son . 30 yr set. I would have made it ideal for an hr before I confirm it needed a new carb . Or a 350SBC lol
It's not a 210 ! It's a 150 2 door sedan. Got one just like it. Ha ha.
two tone it
Me too lol. Black V8 one piece frame rails. 👍🏻
I was just gonna chime in and say that no aluminum trim on the fins
Yes that was a low budget vehicle.
Found your channel today and subscribed to it today 👍
The Common 235 inline 6 cylinder engine--other option was the 265 cu.--same as newer 283 but newer engine was Bored Out more. I had this same 235 in my 54 Chevy Bel-Aire Sport Coupe...
If you wanted to stick with an inline six, you could swap in the 261 truck version.
I would of pulled the carb, got out my torch tip cleaners and gone through that carb,
good job in getting bit moving again.
A 57 Chevy 2 door sweeeet! You don't need a V8 to be an icon just that style,
Great color
You have found a treasure.
Yes traction bars on a six. Wheel hop is a hell of a thing. Lol
Beautiful lady with a great deal of possibilities.
That is a nice 57 150 sedan i have a 55 two door post bel air
Looks like it's basically in pretty good shape.
Some commentary would be nice. But overall beautiful car and great editing.
Estupendo coche, buen trabajo.🖐️💪🇪🇦👍
Did this vehicle come equipped with power steering and or power brakes?
This the car we need back😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
NIce model 150. It's wearing a model 210 steering wheel horn ring. This car has lots of potential.
Bellissimo esemplare. Complimenti 😊
great job on a great car
Thanks
Hermoso auto Está Arrancando en 5 cilindros Saludos desde Argentina
awesome car
Very good video 👏
not sure about putting oil down the distributor is that a thing? I know they have a grease cap underneath for lubrication.
The mechanic with the most beautiful hands. 🙋
What is that component with the giant rot hole in it?
Whatbisvtraction bars doing on a 6 cylinder?
Is it for sale?
I assume that some lead additive was introduced in the fuel source?
Wouldn’t a look at the pistons and rockers be a good idea?
I could see stray sparks under the bonnet in one of your shots, I suggest you check the plug and coil wires, could explain the rough running . It was on the drivers side of the block
I think what you saw was sparking of the generator brushes in the back of the generator.
Set the timing to avoid the cranking issue.

What it how much
