    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.

    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. 👍😁

    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.

    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.

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.

    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?
