That's insane! So many tri-fives needing to be resurrected

D, between you and Derek, I get so many flashbacks to times with my Dad and Grandfather when I was a kid. This is the good stuff. Thank you for this.

Nice 🇺🇲northern calif

That exact car has been my dream car ever since I saw it in an old family album. Life happened and it disappeared forever but one da I will have one...

I noticed y'all never say what ya paid for the car.

time to drop 8 grand on a paint job.

Dan from DD talks about this 57 . I see a kit car . Everything is a kit . As a kid at 16 in votech I bought a 55 2 dr hdtp , a motor , trans , rear and front seats from a rolled 69 z28 and a front axle from a 56 truck . Took it to votech and built my car , I ended up using the camaro master cylinder also . Cut the wheel wells out . Put 15 x 12 and n50 x15 on the back and f 78 15 on 7 inch on the front , cragars . No kits ! It was 1978 I still own and drive this car . Still runs the 302 with cross ram . I appreciate your work but wish you guys would get away from kits .

I want to get one and make a rollback when I get the channel bigger.

Blue engine tells me its a 75-80 350. original could have been a 327 or big block like a 366 or 396.

Really cool your son is with you. Safe adventures 👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏼

Yeah,its always great to rev an engine thet was dormant for 40 years!😵‍💫

Drive it, dog. Let's go

Because they don’t make cars like to used to

Can't believe you're going with a SB and a 5spd... Car that original I would go with the original 6 and the 3 on the tree that is in it.

Sounds like me and my father working togerher

I got a 55 gasser I'm putting together and I wanna do the rear wheel opening like your 55 on the rack nomad style 👍

Thats my first car i bought in 79.. i was 15 except mine was light yellow 327 4 sp 12 bolt posi... i sold it to a friend in 83... he still has it but its a strip xar now. I still have the 12 bolt in my 64 malibu 4 sp 327... ive owned since 82... love the early chevelles.. oh and funny thing mine had the 69 70 ss wheels like tbis one... must of been a up grade back then lol

As all the comments below mentioned,you arent just creaing a resto mod,or hot rod,your greating a man with skills .Good on you,at that age I was helping my dad on small aircraft and helos in alaska,guess what,I became a mechanic in the United states Coast Guard and later worked in the rebuild facility in NC.61 and also worked on all my muscle cars and lifted trucks but will have a lifetime helper/son and thats precious when other kids got game controlers instead.

I have a junior with the 6.5 horse ghost predator too

I'll look for the car this year

Always funny to see 4 cylinder VW's and Honda's blowing American cars away. My summer daily driver Mercedes runs low 13's in the quarter mile.

I would love those big wheels on the Impala if they're not chrome, but that's just my personal opinion. I'm always more into Pro Touring (if that's the right words) kind of cars.

Cut a piece of sheet metal the same shape as the back fender then slept it in and up and cremp the fender over the piece you cut should do the trick 👍

Just a heads up the back bumper was actually designed for the tail pipes to pass through the lower far corners from the factory as a add on for the hot 🔥 rodder and again the motor looks awesome 👌

You can get a kit that your power brakes gets its power from the power steering pump and it has plenty pump pressure to run them both with out any problems and the motor looks great 👍 👌

nice junk 😮

Man, I know almost nothing about this type of thing, but I’d love to learn how to install a nice blower on a 454 big block

Is that a 55 belair If it is you really should put a decent paint job on it for real dude for real now you hear what I am saying to you brother

I live in Georgia Douglasville area I’d like to help you build the 55 I wanna learn

Are you doing all 5 days on power tour? Or just doing Thursday June 13th at National Trail’s in Hebron. See ya out there 👍🏻👊🏼

Watching you and your son work together reminds me of helping my dad fix the diff on his mud truck when I was 8 🤣 but on a side note we definitely need a tour of all your vehicles Dave!

Great stuff!

This warms my cold heart to see the interaction with you and your boy, Especially with you all working on the only vehicle Chevy ever made that I droll over. Great job Newbern

Need yourself a set of those bullet center cap for them smoothies. That’d be slick

Can’t wait to you and your son start a project

All it's missing is Baby Moons

Cragar makes a 17x7 as that looks really good!! It should clear your set up

Wow nice car 😊

That car really came together.

Nice!

Go big and drag it home!

Looks better than them cragers

Its great your son is interested in helping you out. My kids at his age couldn't care less, more interested in playing with their friends.

I clicked for more 57 Chevy action but stayed because the bond you're forming with your son will be one of the most important things to him throughout his life and will make him do the same with his children.

I love it. Having your son a part of what you enjoy. The skills he will have for a lifetime. I am thankful for all I learned on our Georgia farm. Much love from south Georgia. GaMike

Dude you and your son is exactly how me and dad was

55 57 56. Just my opinion. Doesn't matter i love all 3

The 57 looks sooo much better on the chrome reverse wheels… it’s just meant to be.

I love the fact that I can watch real men communicate without profanity (A breath of fresh air)
