THIS OLD CHEVY HASN'T RUN SINCE 1974!!!

- Episode 165 of Mike Finnegan's Garage gives an exclusive look at the newly renovated 1957 Chevy Bel Air that David Newbern bought during our cross-country road trip. We drove from Georgia to California and back in Lincoln Hawk, a Chevy Kodiak enclosed ramp truck. On the way back home we stopped in Big Spring, Texas, and Dave bought this rough but really cool '57 Chevy, which had just the right amount of patina on the body.
In this episode you'll watch as he restores the chassis of his other '57 Chevy using parts from Speedway Motors and then slides fresh chassis under his newly acquired body. Powering the car is the original 454ci V8 Big-Block Chevy engine take from the OG Roadkill ramp truck and that is backed by a Silversport Transmissions six-speed Tremec manual gearbox kit. The Chevy is also wearing one of Blasphemi's original sets of Coker chrome steelie wheels! Check it out!

So good to see Dave’s son “helping “ . Some of my favorite memories are “Helping” my dad work on tractors and stuff .
I was going to make the same comment
One of the biggest hopes, is that my son grows up to enjoy working on cars, as much as I did as a kid.
Only 5mths. So have a little to wait 😂

@@dylnbxtr start buying him toy tool's and those models that you bolt together for when he gets older. Good luck
Kinda love the son is just helping his father doing some job, in the future he is doing same thing were his father does.
9:10 wasn’t enough…..we need more!!! Such a awesome build!
Half of that was recycled footage from old videos, ads, and reminding you that you forgot to smash that subscribe button.
It's a cool car, will be a great build, but it would be nice to have a more detailed video.
@@moose4130 100% agree but he has to make sponcers n shit happy too. Shit gets old. Same with cleetus. I quit watching cleetus channel a while ago.
@@moose4130 ya, finnegan is my car hero but i feel like since the channel started to now, the quality has gone way down, i miss the how to and advice to learn from a seasoned hotrodder.
I think they forget we subscribers watch all the videos, and we’re invested. This quickie video was BS. I think we deserve to see Dave AND Mike trashing on this car to bring her back to life.
@@ethanrobinson649 Seems like youtube is an afterthought with Finnegan or maybe he just has so much other stuff going on youtube gets fit in where it can. I miss those things too but it is what it is.
Thank you for having CC on your videos the hearing world forgets that there's people that are deaf. Good to see your kids are involved with building
CC is also for guys that have a wife with brain damage. Noises affect her in a very negative way.
@@tt600pch not trying to be disrespectful at all,but you can pick up a pair of EarPods for 30$
@@crispyfurburgerthe4th669 yeah but then your wife gets mad that you spent 30$ on something that brings you joy, If she thinks you are reading articles on being a sensitive man you can watch Finnegan and score brownie points. Lol
@@nintendogamer5472 yk what,fair enough 😂 happy wife happy life
Welcome to the Tri-Five club David.
Love seeing little Newbern helping iut! Kids going to have a awesome life ahead of him.
Seeing Newbern working on the car with his son warms my heart.
I think it’s awesome to get kids involved and learning about car building
So cool to see your son in your shop helping you . Im a dad im 27 . Fighting in court to get my 4 year old boy away from his crazy mother . That hit home for me , great job boys !
Good luck mate.
Keep fighting! It'll be worth it. I had to and it was.
Thanks guys ! Im trying to !
SORRY...to hear of another broken Family...
@@gregboppel2511 well im in court , i was in a bad car accident in june last year , still haven’t seen my boy since then . Un real .
It was great to see the little man in the time lapse build part. Moments like that is what makes you a hero in their eyes.
Great video and good luck finishing the build.
A Man at home in his, garage, his tools, his car. Life is SWEET!! Can’t wait to more, GOD BLESS!!!
Every dads dream, working on a car with their son. That time lapse part made me wish I had a space to do that with my kids. Every moment counts and the skills you expose them to are planted like seeds. Great video, awesome story telling!
Best part is David's kid helping pressure wash the frame and then playing with his trucks in the mud.
That right there is the American dream.
It's great to see your son helping, he will never forget and want this car when he's old enough.
Killer vid, love watching Dad and Son working together on a project. Memories were made that day. Enough mush, can't wait to see the finish ride.
I love how Dave's son goes from power washing the frame to driving his trucks in the mud!
Made me smile seeing the little one in there helping out. I remember "helping" my dad wrench on his 80 Wrangler and 88 Cherokee growing up. Love to wrench to this day!
I like his philosophy “good enough for me”. I’m the same way, I’ve got a 65 VW I put together. It’s not perfect, it’s not a show car. But it starts stops and I can drive it around. Some projects can get lost when you start wanting doing to much.
I like to see young kids involved in projects that dont involve a tv!!
Thank you sir!
It's cool that Dave's kiddo is helping with the project. Best possible way to learn new things for the new generation :)
How did Dave build a running car in one 10 minute episode ,when it took both of you years to finish the C10 ,good job 12 volt
To be fair, Finnegans pretty busy buying every ramp truck in America.
@@Quetzalcoatl999 and several boats
@@Quetzalcoatl999 don't forget swapping a blown up engine out of blasphemi
Dave is working on just one car.
What a stupid question
Everyone needs a 57 chevy atleast once in their life.
It's not a Chevy, but I have a 57 Dodge big back window step side pickup.
Or ten like you ...lol
Looks like Dave got some excellent supervision from little 9-Volt.
The kid playing in the mud, in the rain, in the pressure washer mist, is the perfect description of my life.
Description of a Awesome Dad letting his son play in the mud and rain
He is going to remember that car for ever
That part of this video made me realize how much a failure I have been as a father. None of my boys, I have 4, have had cars to play outside in the mud with. That's going to change this week.
@ tag no
Nice to see kids outside and not behind a computer screen or video game!
@@andyworks5428 that doesnt make you a failure as a father bud dont say that. I have a 7yr old son and hes just more interested in technology than other things
Great to see your boy helping out. My nine year old helps out and it’s gold🇦🇺
You know what’s rad about this? Well pretty much everything!
But something I really enjoyed was reading the comments - there’s about 100 as I type and scrolling through I didn’t see any negativity - all just people digging the build!
It was really cool to see Dave build his car with his son. Also you have very good craftsmanship that car is gonna be sweet 👌
Newbern, and Finnegan are such cool guys building such cool projects. Please don't stop the awesome content.
David awesome seeing your son with you in the shop. great dad stuff 101
Sweet. Good to see the young fella learning by looking over your shoulder 👍
I wanna see more of the Cadillac, that's one of my favorite projects of yours ever!
Probably takes along time before interesting stuff happens:)
Absolutely, that caddy is badass , we just don't get to see it enough, MORE CADDY MORE CADDY MORE CADDY
I've always loved those wheels since I saw them on Ron Howard's impala in "American Graffiti" when I was a kid. Gonna put them on my 63 nova when it's done
All the cool cars on Graffiti had em, Milners coup, Steve's 58, Falfas 55...love em!
Are those reverse...oh what are they called now? I can't remember
Where can you get those wheels from??
@@alitis000 speedway motors
@@stevenrobertson0787 chrome reverse.
It's always a treat to watch Finnegan's garage 2 of the nicest RUclips's out there Dave newburn and of course Mr. Finnegan love what you guys do
57 Bel-Aire 2 door hard top is like the "Holy Grail" of our time. You have made a great start! But that car deserves to be returned to it's glory. Please consider finishing the car's resurrection . It's the right thing to do. 👍
Oh, Gosh! Look at that patina! When I was a kid, 57 chevy hard tops was on top of my list. It still is...
Can"t wait to see more of this awesome build. It's always nice to watch such father son cooperation.
Regrowth is secured!
👍
A man who disassemble a front suspension using a cutting torch deserves my utmost respect
That patina will be perfect with a little shine juice. Awesome car, with a comfy interior, this will be the coolest hot rod cruiser ever.
He needs to get it painted. I've always thought the "patina" look was trashy
Patina all the way......
@@GMdrivingMOPARguy one man's trash is another man's treasure.
Can't wait to see it Done,, I can't believe we got one that was that nice I guess there's still out there to be had ,,,,Thanks for Sharing,,.
God this is my dream car! Was my dad's dream car. The year he was born. He's gone now. Lost him to a stroke 9yrs ago. It was the ONLY thing we both 100% agreed on in life. The 57 is the pinnacle of automotive design. There's NO car design better. I will own one someday. And I will name it "Pappa Joe" after my Dad.
That's fricken awesome living my dreams through you two. Glad I found your channel
I'm so glad you are documenting this build Dave!
I'm not even a fan of tri-fives, and yet I've been absolutely psyched to see video of this build. This is one of those finds - in the same vein as General Mayhem - that you're *instantly* rooting for as a viewer. Watching the refurbished frame roll right under the 2nd '57 felt _gooood_ - hearing it idle, even better.
Also: "The installation of a 454 shall obligate the installer to perform firewall hackery. It's just what you do...when you install a 454."
More Newbern '57 content, please!
Nice to see your young son hanging out with you on your 57 chevy build..
Man its amazing how simple it can look in a 10 minute video.
Man, Ole Newbern can get some stuff accomplished in a hurry!!
Newbern - I’m happy you finally have the car of your dreams! Your 57 looks fantastic! Klaus
It was cool to see Newbern and his kid featured and to see his garage set up.
i love all things 55-57 chevy, i'm a model car builder and have 3 of these last count, there is nothing more beautiful than those fins, and all that chrome,
the 57 is bad ass. Love the look and how u r doing it. Id drive the wheels off of it. I remember my son being that age helping me with my vega and my 69 mach 1 build. Memories that will last forever. The cars are long gone but he and i bonded and now do it on his cars and jeep!
It's turning out incredible! I love the look with the steelies, can't wait to see burnouts.
Yep, was about to make the same comment. LOVE them chrome reverses!!
I LOVE this car!
Patina thru the roof. The perfect fade. Solid as could be considering it's age and originality.
Oh yeah and a Big Block!
Well done Newbern nc very well done.
Daddy‘s little helper I had one of those once . He is 25 now and in the Navy.🛠🇺🇸🛠
Need to see some more of this project. Love the family getting involved.
Damn guys, I just love the content you're creating
You manage to be both fun and interesting, and you make your community dream and progress in their jobs (I'm a mechanic) which is super cool
Thanks a lot
P.S. :Sorry if my english is not that good, I'm a french dude.
Your English is better than you know.
Yup. Your English is great.
Their shows (and the rate they get it done) are great. I wish my projects moved at that speed. It’s all possible, but it takes a huge commitment. I have 2 daily drivers - a 71 F100 and a 70 El Camino. Also trying to restore a 70 Intermeccanica Italia, in between keeping the other 2 running. Im currently assembling a new 390 FE for the truck.
Hey "french dude"...
Hats off to you, keeping hot rodding alive across the pond and in your country!
Always cool to hear from fellow hot rodders outside of the USA!
@@williamstamper442 Thanks a lot man, I really appreciate it
I'm glad to see you building your car.. Lucky dog. You've earned it Dave!! Enjoy that 57
Awesome to see the young man helping out.
Awesome project, love how you are spending time with your son.
Holy patina, Batman!!! 😍 Always awesome to see "junk" back on the road. That big block should scoot!
Definitely need more, really looking forward to seeing this on the road. 👍👍
So glad to see other fathers passing along things to their kids. Doing the same with my boy. Keep up the great work!
Amazing! Hopefully everyone appreciates the amount of work goes into these labors of love
Awesome having your kid hanging and helping! Memories!
Absolutely killer looking 57! Love the stance and love the wheels! Cant wait to see more!!!
I love that you guys put the t-56 trans in everything. One day I’ll get one for my foxbody.
Making memories in the shed with kiddo there.
Love it 👌
Cool seeing the kids involved.......... Cheers John..
Was Thinking RIP to the Mint Firewall with Dave cutting it up...But seeing it running OMG but the Wheels tires and the Stance is absolutely on point
the little "what???" when you handed him the title was so awesome lol
Man I want to see the next chapter of Newbern's car!
Cool seeing Dave's son helping him. Reminds me of my dad and me working on cars / builds when I was 7, fun stuff!!!
Newbern I'm happy for you! The car is looking good.
Love seeing his son out there in the shop with pop. This is as American as it gets.
The stance on that thing is PERFECT
Awesome 57 ..it sets perfect has a perfect stance and it sounds great can't wait to see it running...
Dave, this is awesome! So good to see you working on something that is yours!
Best part of the video
Dave and his kid cleaning chassis with wife BBQing in background
I grew up with a very similar car as our family car in Ft Worth. Dad acquired a 427 in October of 1965 and had installed by December... He worked at General Motors and would race it after work out on the Grapevine hwy or wherever. The motor was bought out of the back of a pickup truck at a local bar. The left rear quarter window was broken during a technical dispute at the old Forest Hill dragstrip. The glass was held together with race stickers ie: hays, clay smith etc.
Your son will cherish this time and, no doubt, the car when your done with it.
How good is it that when Dave is powerwashing the frame his kid is playing in the mud and water below it, love that !
Great content 👌 👏 seeing Dave's son reminds me of the first car I restored with my dad, it is a harbor blue 57' hardtop 283 .080 over with a 4 speed! Still in the family today and screaming on drum brakes and manual steering... but its what we could do 24 years ago! Wow thats making me feel old now! Ha ha... hopefully Dave's boy can have a simular story someday!
Just like the 57... I'm green.... With envy. I have wanted one my entire life. But it makes me so happy to see someone else to be able to get a car of their dreams and bring it to life. Mike you guys post content. I'm glad I found the channel
Dame that's a nice gift! Congrats to you both
Congrats Dave! That car already looks amazing!
Love seeing you get ‘em running again!!
everything about this build is amazing! the patina, the wheels, the big block...perfect. cant wait to see it finished.
Man I with my friend would give me a big block and all the other goodies to build my 55. Lucky guy.
SO awesome!! Need more videos on this car!
Freaking Awesome Newburn!! Cool to see you and your Son wrenchin together!! 👍🏻🏁🏁 Cruising the Coast is such a massive event, So much Fun!!
Looking at the thumbnail, I half expected Derek from VGG to show up saying "A fella thinks we can get this thing running and driving by the end of the day... probably not." Looking good so far Dave!!
Love the fact your are creating another hot rod fan who is helping you every step of the way. This is where our dreams start.. in the garage with our dads, not online.
Sweet! You're wasting no time, 12-Volt Dave. Looks awesome!
Great video Mike !!!!! I still love the tri-five Chevys!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
We all could have time for these things. Actually, we all could afford these things too if it was our only passion. That's what makes channels like this so good. It's the inspiration.
that was the best soundtrack to a car video ive heard.
Great having your kid help
The memory of you giving him the 57 for Christmas kinda teared me up. Your a good friend.
Love 57s . bought one in 1967 at Chevy dealership, 2door sedan black with white top. Someone put a 300-327 in it 3 speed and traded it in . I bought for 350.oo ,put a set of Fenton wheels and boy did she look sharp. Like your video.
Love when the kiddos are involved!! Keep up the awesome work!
Perfect wheel and tire combo on that car!!
How good to come across that 57' and it looks badass. Nice one Dave
It’s great to see that car get back on the road. I’m back and forth between Ft Worth and Midland multiple times a week. I’ve seen that car sit in the same spot in Big Spring for 12 years.
The best part of that video was watching the little kid in high speed motion helping out dad that just made me laugh the whole time it was playing.
What a car that chevy is, I lurv that patina, the green paintwork is purrfect.
Them wheels were everything when I was a kid. Still are.
