I used to deer hunt with Mr Busby for several years. He was a very good man with a good soul. He was a very knowledgeable man on cars and trucks. Rest in Peace Benny. Miss you my friend.
It's really good to see a father and son work together in this day and time.🙋♂️
…and daughter 😊
Sure is!!!
💞 Yes! I was thinking the same! I love how easy these old treasures are to work on. Thank you Father and Son for sharing your wisdom and love. I can’t wait to see her all shiny and pretty and I love the chrome 🩶💛🤍
I enjoy your show i think ive seen all your vedeos how do i subscribe
I`m an Aussie and this is one of my favorite shows I watch. I owned a 57 Chevy 4 door in my younger years here in Australia. It had the Blue Flame 6 cyl motor. Great car.
The one I really like or love whichever you want to put is the fact those old cars coming back to life is extremely awesome in my book. I really love watching this episode because of that old 57 Chevy got brought back from its graveyard. Very awesome job getting her running again and seeing her move on her own power. Thank my friends for sharing this.
It’s always amazing to me how many people tell you they drove it to the spot you picked it up at. But when you get it in the shop, everything’s broken that must be very frustrating. Anyway, keep up the great work you’re an inspiration.
I am so glad to you to make them run again. Christian. Calvin Dayton Ohio.
I watch your rescues often. Good job guys! Surprised you guys don’t pressure wash the engine bay before you start. Getting all mouse poop, grease other stuff out would make working on the engine easier.
It's so nice watching you guys fixing things together and I love seeing your videos . The only thing is , I'm always left with a longing to see these old cars done right up and looking good as well as starting and driving . That car right there is going to look stunning when it's finished and I would have loved to see it out for a proper drive looking like it did back in it's days of glory .
Thank you so much for prayers for Brian. Brian came through. Dr said it was a beast. He repaired doz hernias..2 and half hrs just to get through scar tissue.
Put mesh all around his abdominal wall and mesh in part of midriff that was destroyed.
Several days in hospital then wks at home.
Can't thank u enuf for prayg and drumming up prayers. Good bless you all.
Love those 57 Chevys, I knew a gentleman years ago who owned and rebuilt and restored a 55 Chevy to its original condition...it's a beautiful treasure for sure 🤗
Back in the 80's I helped my dad work on his 57 Chevy bel-air 2 door hardtop with a 283 v8, this really hits home for me.
seen lotta 57s this ol lady got some very strait body lines and joints. keep us posted thank you,,
i love this i would keep it like it is. put thechrome one, grille, fix the engine stuff that needs to be done and drive it. i love the authentic beauty of this! nice guys
It’s good to see you back. Being “restored” by grace is humbling. We’re here in Alabama and I enjoy listening to our Southern ladies talk, my wife enjoys your Texas drawl.
My friday night made Happy By you guys again....Thank you So much..I have learned So much from your patience and perseverence
That faded canary yellow paint looks so good and righteous too bad about the drivers window but the rest of the glass looks good
$1900? That's a steal! Well done.
Gentlemen, that is a good work. Wonderful apparatus and seems this U.S. classics is ever and never dies. Thank you so much
How yall treat people, especially woman. The yes ma'am. Yes sir. Wyatt you've raised Lance well
Is anybody else noticed the old man does most of the hard work😅😅❤❤
That happens all the time these days, plenty of people would love a father like him
Going to be a really nice ride when you get it all cleaned up
I watched this one a year or two ago but always enjoy extra views thanks!
My grandfather used to have a 1957 Chevy bel air and when he passed away he gave it to me so now I have one of my dream cars
😊
😊
😊
The smile on their faces when driving it to the washing station ... priceless !
Another Success !
Nice job on getting the Chevy Bel Air running again. Keep up the great work you guys. Okay.
What a Great video. Thanks for rescuing that sweet 'girl' ❤
Tank you for that you fixt old cars. They are as me in the morning. Take long time to work in the morning. Than in the afternoon it's working just fine. 😂
This lady is awesome. She knows her cars
and she's one sharp dresser too, i mean that T-Shirt is just her colour lol!
"Tired of getting protested at the track , so he built his own track" 🤣🤣🤣 Thats a good ole boy 🤙 We get protested every thursday night , I need to build a track 😉
Beuty car and in a good shape for so old ,good to see father amd son try to revive old cars so easy ..HI from Greece!!!!!!!
I used to have one of that modal and style, The easiest way to tell what engine is in it is the v emblem. Gold V is a 283, Silver V is a 265 and no v was a six cylinder
I love that tyre machine! They don't make em like they used too! The old 4040
It's one of my favorite episodes. Glad you guys got it up and running. I have a 57 4door myself. All original
Mine too, it's in the bookmarks!!!!
Great video they make a Allen wrench on the end of a screwdriver with a spring on it to adjust those points
Lol, Lances comment to Wyatt finding the chrome was hilarious. Hopefully it didn't hurt the bargain. Awesome video guys and you guys should hire that lady on your channel😅😅.
What a nice car. The '57 Chevy is my favorite car, hands down. Great video, guys.
Gotta love Restored
The 57 Belair is one of my top 3 favorite cars. I bet you'll get IL all fixed up and look'n fine!
Even though it’s a crew cab it’s still a ‘57 and that’s all that matters! Great job gettin her going! Thanks for the wash, ride and video!
57 has to be my favorite. That's such a cool car.
Our second car was a 57 Belaire. First one was bought was a Kaiser when we came to America in 1956 . That Chevy had an electrical glitch that I recall haunted that car. We kept it until 1964. I was 10 when we sold it.
great car, can’t wait to see it restored… awesome video….Mike from florida….🔧⛓️⚙️⚒️🔨👏👏👏👍
I've been watching y'all since the beginning
1900 dollars for that car is a steal.. Great find and great job bring her back to life.
I agree with Bryan. You guys are super respectful, which is something you don’t see in this environment, especially where I am at. It’s great to see that some people still respect their elders. You guys are awesome. Turned on to your channel by mister VISE GRIP GARAGE. Will watch every one of your episodes. I have a lot of catching up to do. You guys and Derek are quality people and that makes a difference. Keep up good work.
Cool video. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend Lance,Wyatt and Christian.👋
Thanks for watching!
Back in the day, you'd set the points with a dwell meter hooked up. It's simple compared to today's cars but it helps to know how to work on the older cars!
Seeing those vacuum windshield wipers bring back some memories. Going up a hill in a rainstorm and sometimes you couldn't see anything
The fix was to install the optional combination fuel/vacuum pump, or, if you can find one, a Bendix Electro-Vac.
God bless America, I shore do miss hearing Texan talkin'! Yes Ma'am!
Ms. Charlene is a truly honest lady! She's a hoot!
It was a blessing to get to meet her 😊
@@RESTORED-HOPESome day, I'll be able to get to go back to Texas, and when I do, I'd love to get to meet you feller's!!
Stay well, and God bless!!
Pretty Cool 😎 It's ALIVE !!!
Have a Great Day 👍
God Bless America 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
Had to share your video. This is the 2nd video that I have watched from you. Amazed at what Y'all both can do with old vehicles. Can't wait to see more. Reminds me of my 2 brothers, David and Wayne. My brother David is legally blind, but when he could see, he worked on Everything he drove and owned. Him and Wayne both are Amazing mechanics, just as yourselves. Have a Wonderful day Y'all. Angela from eastern North Carolina but live in Colorado now..😊😊😊
Back in the 70s when you bought a set of points for a Chevy they came with a small Allen wrench you set the points to 18 then you put the cap on it and open the little slide door in the front of the distributor start the car and you can reach that Allen wrench in through that little door and give the points a final adjustment with the car running.
Good to see y'all getting back to this one.
Nice work team!
Great story again from you guys😎👍
The production quality on these videos has gotten excellent! Y'all have come a long way
This was made a long time ago...hence the red truck..the maxxd trailer and 'blalock media' tshirts. So a lot of this was done by the prick that tried to run them out, but you are correct that Christian is doing an amazing job and only getting better.
@@Dashierez I'm not up to date on the situation you're referring to on someone tryna run them out
@@wackadoodle8951 The kid that did the media production (little guy whose last name is Blalock) on Turnin' Rust ditched them and tried to take that channel and make more money off of it with other content. They then made this channel on their own until they got Turnin' Rust back. The daughter/sister does the media production stuff mostly for them now.
Getting the other channel back was fairly recent and they've talked a lot about it, but if you're fairly new you likely wouldn't have seen it.
@@Dashierez well part of it is that I don't really watch a whole lotta RUclips so I can't keep up with the drama😂😂
EXCELLENT ALL THE WAY!!!!
Glad to see a sweet ride back up and running
Great work men . We the people of NH thank you .
The hole in the distributor cap is used to adjust the points using a dwell meter
"57 4 door hardtops are rare, this car deserves a frame up restoration.
My dad loved the 1957 BelAir chevys.
First time watching this channel. Enjoyed it . Great job. Just Subscribed
It always warms my heart how much respect you guys give and receive with people. Everything is “yes ma’am” or “yes sir” when you answer and speak to people….wish it was like that everywhere, but unfortunately there are so many ignorant people in the world.
The Bel Air lives again 🏁
I was wondering what happened to this Belair. You guys picked it up a few years back. Good Job. Good project car for sure. pb
points adjustment was by a flexible hex driver that you could rotate to open/close point gap, and use a dwell meter while doing it (if you have a running engine) worked on those 283 Chevy engines in my teenage years. The struggle is real, Ford had the distributor in the front of the engine where it was easy to reach points, but Chevy had a 'better' idea...
Yep 30 degrees dwell is what your looking for
Now that's a great barn find v8 57 chevy and it's runs. Another enjoyable video from you guys. I couldn't believe the price as well. I once had a 55 Belair that I wish I had kept. Would love to fine another one. Keep these revivals coming.
Hello. Great videos. Just some tri5 info. The bowtie emblem on the trunk is 6 cyl. With a silver V is 265. With a gold V is 283. Your eng has a 327 valve cover on the passenger side. Driver side looks original. The 4 barrel carb is a step up from the standard 2 barrel. Horsepower: 220bhp @ 4,600 rpm (single four-barrel), 270bhp @ 6000 rpm (dual four-barrel), 283bhp @ 6,200 RPM (fuel-injected). Best wishes.
so far, nobody gives a crap. let's wait another 3 weeks and see! People are fickle in comments.
283 with a two barrel is 195 HP.
The gold and silver has nothing to do with 265/283 designation. 265 engines were only available (as a carry over from ‘56) for a short while in ‘57, then all v8 cars the remainder of the model year got a 283 after that. The gold vs silver was a designation for Bel Air Model vs 210 Model.
What a score , Thats a good buy guys.
Wow, nice God Bless you and your family and be safe..🙏🙌🏻
Guys I really enjoyed watching y'all bring that ole Cadillac back to life I was laughing watching Dad in the back chilling then a bunch of pine straw gotem I was laughing so hard grat show guys 👍👍👍👍👍
Only one that actually tells us what u pay for cars. That’s cool
Another fun Video thank you both once again this was cool 👍👍👍😊🙏
I see an old 80's Oldsmobile ! Love them Oldsmobiles !!
It’s 50’s
Awesome find
Lance & Wyatt , great son and father restoration team !! Love y’all videos !!
I've watched em all, over and over!!!!
Ive always thought it would be cool to video the stuff me and my family have done fixing up old cars and if I did it want it to be semilar to what y'all do, excellent camera work. Good job
They make a tool just for adjusting GM points. A screwdriver handle with a long flexible shaft with the right size Allen wrench on the end of the shaft. Set the points with a feeler gauge. .018 new, .016 used.
Once you get it running you slide the metal door on the cap up, put the tool in the points, hook up a dwell meter and set the points to the proper dwell angle.
They also come as a kit with adapters to adjust carbs too.
I always knew those GM distributors as the "peekaboo" distributor. Don't know if that was the formal name or not, or just got that name because you peeked through metal door. We called that the barn door. The other nice thing is you didn't have to crank the engine to get the follower on the points arm on top of one of the distributor shaft lobes, or hand crank the fan to get to a lobe. I was always a MOPAR guy so had to wrestle with all this. And by the way, I've still got a dwell meter in my old tool chest, so you can tell I'm an old gray-haired guy.
Love the video, the 1957 was a favorite of mine when I was younger
Be well
Excellent video RESTORE Crew Wyatt :) , Lance :) , Christine :) also nice 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 4 door Cream color car and also notice when pulling out back bumper was lose! Great find you all and hope all working okay to! Hope find fuel pump also fuel tank plus sending unit okay to and key ignition fix to plus wiring too!
Yes my late Father had 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2 door he bought new had till 1984 sold also Midnight Black with 283 V8 2 barrel , Automatic transmission then 1976 did big motor change 350 V8 motor 4 barrel carb with daul exhaust, Turbo 400 3 speed Automatic transmission in plus change cluster shifter pattern also power brakes and steering, 12 Volt Negative ground conversion GM Delco Alternator and 377 rear gears! I say car at local car club shows of same guy bought but updated some other stuff too was 36 years see it! Then in 2002 to 2007 my late Dad had got another USA 2 owner 1957 2 door black with 235 6 cylinder, 2 barrel carb , Coulmn Shifter 3 speed Manual transmission , 80% orgnail to and my dad gave up because health issues but last heard went Pennsylvania of Pittsburgh but not sure!
Hooray you're back, it will be a lovely ride when cleaned inside. Take care for now. (UK)
She has the happiest spirit 😊😊.......I'm forever going to car shows to film videos for my RUclips
I had a 56 with a 265 and my brother had a 57 2 Dr hardtop with 327. Not the original engine. Had lots of nice cars back in the day.😊
I've just discovered your channel, guys, for about a couple of days ago, but now I guess I'll have to watch all videos from the start. Cool stuff, old American cars are masterpieces
I believe this was originally a 210 hardtop sedan with Bel Air trin added to it. The steering wheel center and no gold faux triple "vents" on the front fender give that away. I'm not sure if the interior has been swapped too. I would return back to its cowl tag origins. A 210 in this configuration is far less seen than the Bel Air.
Ohhhhhh....
Well guys. Great find. Its 57 bel air power pack 283 maybe 250hp dull exhaust 4 barrel power glide 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎
Once again you demonstrate your over- the- top smarts and ability to improvise and "work around" what most people would say was impossible. Great!
P.S. Do you think you could find be an ole Deuce Coupe? Best, Peg from NEW Jersey
Thanks for another , Brothers !!
Men a really awesome find and will it run. Great Video Christian. Lance and Wyatt you got a good flip for sure. Just need to work out the bugs in it. Seeing your smiles was great. It Sounds solid. Thank you for sharing!
💯👊👍❤️
Boy, I even like the color! The 57 Bel Air is one the most beautiful cares ever built.
Your father raised you good and it seems like he's a real good man.
Great job on the video, I love those old cars they remind me of my childhood 😎😎
They sure do.
Another great watch 👏👏👏
This was one of the coolest movies ive ever seen. Thanks alot, had fun the full 2 hours 🤩👍🏻 Hope to see an update on this
Forget that chop and drop stuff return these classics to their original beautiful looks ❤
I believe it is your sister that edits & basically creates these videos. Just wanted to say I often enjoy the music chosen, she does a great job.
What a beauty. I love ya'lls channel. It's alot of stuff I do and apply to newer vehicles. Keep it up
I was looking at that first gen cornbinder scout. Those are definitely in demand for sure. I hope you found the grill and all the other chrome in the trailer or barn. That`s a great price on that car for sure.
I love watching every video of y'all's!!! Sister does an absolute amazing job on video. !!! It would be awesome to see a bit more of her working on the car's because i know she enjoys it.. i just think she is a little Camara shy but my daughter loves her and her Crocks 😂....
Great show keep up the good work be safe my friends God bless all she's the lady off American pickers
