      Another bright idea to do with the car. Don't do anything to it. Give it to Cody as he seems to be your top body man and gets stuff done while you and hillbilly make videos and travel everywhere. The stuff you do for Hillbilly is cool and all, but Cody is just as deserving.

    57 is such a great classic I’d say completely restore it!! It’s a part of American car history. It deserves to be preserved. The body and interior but leave the motor you put in!

      Go back to Ohio and get the motor front suspension rear end then completely restore the car to its former glory
      That doesn't really make a lot of sense like he already said the car is too rotten and too far gone to do a nut and bolt restoration

    A full restoration please. She's been through a lot and deserves some love. The last thing I want to see is this beauty turned into a derby car, jacked up, or tacky stickers placed all over her. Maybe a nice black pearl paint job with gold or silver trim. She's a piece a history that needs to be preserved and cared for.

    Looking at the “ 57 “ knowing the journey it’s been on for 65 years I think it’s in the perfect place to come back to life. It deserves the care and restoration that your shop could give her. I know you’d make it right and bring it back to its iconic glory. She’s just begging to have the attention of a top professional as you. It would be tugging on the heartstrings of all the viewers lucky enough to grow up with that car as they see you do your magic.

    The 57 Chevy absolutely Needs and Wants it's Body to be Restored to like new with an original paint color. When I was a kid, my dad owned one and it was a beautiful copper/gold color!

    I vote to restore the car. Whatever you do to it, I think the silver/black paint scheme should be retained. I would definitely follow a restoration series on this. It would actually help me prepare for the restoration of my wagon and 4 door sedan. I learned quite a bit on body work techniques from the golden nugget series. I liked how you took time to explain what you're doing and why as you went.

    I think since you've already changed so much a restoration is out. A classy restomod would be my vote. Full modern engine, trans, drive train, brakes, steering but a classy interior and body. The Robby Layton blue, black gray colour scheme would be amazing with the chrome. Once done, auction it for charity since you're already giving away the charger.

    Robbie, If I had the resources you have I would completely restore the entire car, while keeping the modern upgrades. Start by stripping it down to the frame, restore the frame and work your way up from there. Replace the floors, new interior (headliner, seats, carpeting), new trunk, install a jack and spare wheel/tire, new sheet metal as needed. Making it perfect will take time, but it's certainly a worthy endeavor.

    Of all the cars I have had over the years, the '57 Chevy was my favorite. It definitely needs to be restored, not a car show restoration but make it look like a nice family car restoration. It needs to be painted - not a Robbie Layton eagle-eye paint job - but better than a Maaco job. My car was turquoise blue with white fins. It also needs air conditioning which it didn't have back then.

    The running gear is pretty solid. Do a restoration to the interior and body as it would have been modded in the late fifties early sixties. Be sure to add any safety equipment it needs. It's never going to be a concours car but do keep it as period correct as possible.

    Love the '57.
    I think you should restore it and give it away to one of your subscribers.

    I think you should do a complete restoration or restomod on the 57

    I personally always liked the old school restored 57's however the pro street look has grown on me over the last couple of years. Either way the car is deserving of new floor pans and a beautiful coat of paint to preserve that awesome sheet metel.

    I love the current color scheme on the 57, and it looks awesome, do your magic on the body, it’s got the power already, so jelly.

    As much as we love the patina look on so many classic cars, it's Layton Autobody & Paint, so the '57 most definitely needs a great paint job.
