Do a body off restoration. The car is too nice, rust wise to not paint the entire frame and that includes getting the frame sand blasted and primerd ,painted etc including all plumbing of all brake lines and gas line etc.

Hey kids, it’s Bryan from California, as I told you years ago, that was my first car. It’s still deserves to be restored. You have most of the trim, panels and frame. Make it a long term project. The investment will be worth it. It would be a 6 figure project. I’m 75 now and will be around to see the results. Love you guys and hope all the best!

Start out by making it a driver marketplace a motor and get it to work and move under it's own power! Then enjoy it for a while while you're collecting parts. That way if you want to take it on power tour or something like that you can. Knowing that you are remodeling your house and money is earmarked for that this doesn't have to be a beautiful car first time out of the shop. Believe it or not you will get more people coming up and talking to you about this car if it's a work in progress. On top of that while they're all blown apart they take up way much more space. And require safe spots for most of the car while it's not together. But it's your decision in the long run. Glad to see you guys are wanting to get her started on her road to recovery! Should be a fun project to watch.

Trying to put your perspective into my thoughts (youtuber and house renos); I would sell some of your cars, I know that is difficult but you just have too many to really use or create content for your channel. Big picture, a 3 car garage with lifts to store 6 total would be something to think about building. As far as the 55: I would like to see a used LS motor, 6 speed manual, aftermarket wiring harness, lots of details in the filming and get it running and driving. Then you could work on things such as paint/interior as you find time. Keep up the great work, I look fwd to each of your videos.

Step #1 empty the car, clean it, paint the frame, repair rust and protect the metal with a high end primer, body work ( bondo) should be done a a later date in the build . At that point the value will be higher and you may decide to sell it with profit or go to step #2 ( mechanical investment) the complete / finished process might take 3 to 5 years , do not rush it, be patient. GOOD LUCK !

My recommendation as a fellow owner of a 1957 2 door post, go full restoration with a nice chassis, engine combo, etc.. but leave your mark on it. Built it to your style, your colors, etc. Take your time, the car will hold the value you put in it and will deliver tons in return. As less desirable projects arise, you can always restore and flip them along the multi-year journey. Those of us in the tri-five forum and with the Tri-Five Nationals look forward to chatting and seeing you in the future.

When I first got my 69 Firebird… a car I’ve been wanting for 25 years, I started the tear down, took it all the way down to a shell. It needed a dash, cowl and floor pans before anything and it was my plan to do all the body work and make it perfect. It had a major dent on the drivers quarter and needed a lot of work to make it “nice”. After almost two years of skimping and saving and doing what I could with the budget, I just couldn’t get it done quick enough to get enjoyment out of it. So I decided I was gonna put it all back together and make it a driver and work on it as I drove it because I just wanted to enjoy the car. Found a Pontiac 400 and put a tremec TKO in it, and just made it so I could enjoy it and drive it. 4 years later I’ve been enjoying it, upgrading it, fixing things as I go. It’s been down for over a year now with this round of upgrades and I can’t wait to drive it again. It’s a process. I say.. get it running and driving and enjoy it and build it in steps and enjoy driving it as you build it.. sorry for the long story, but hey, if you get bored, check out my playlist of the build history of my 69 Pontiac Firebird. Can’t wait to see the progress with the 57!!

This car is a classic that needs to be restored to the best of your ability, I was fortunate to have had one of these 58 years ago and am sick to this day that I sold it. It was the 2 door bel air in the aqua blue white top paing... Make an old duffer happy and restore.

Welcome to the Tri Five Club! It's a bucket list car to own for sure! If this were mine, I would take everything out of the car, inventory the parts, vacuum it out and then pressure wash everything. It will really make you feel better about starting on it, see the condition better, know what missing parts to go locate and be more motivating. I would also use the cowl tag (seen next to your heater box opening on the firewall) decoder from the Paddock or Classic Industries to get the history on the car such as where it was built, the model, a V8 or 6 cylinder, the factory original paint colors, the factory original interior color pattern and the accessories. You may find it had a really cool color combination that you want to put back on the car. It looks like (my guess) a '57 210 2 door sedan that originally came with a 6 cylinder/Powerglide that was Larkspur Blue with a Blue Vinyl/Cloth Interior. With a major remodel going on (We did a full teardown while building my wife's '57 Chevy Bel Air 4 door Wagon), I would throw a 350 Chevy and a Turbo 350 with the stock rear end in it and get it drivable. You won't spend a bunch, freeing up the money for the home remodel and you can drive it for a bit as a rat rod to see how you like it. During that time, it will become real clear what direction you will want to go with the car in making it nicer down the road. The '57 210 2 door sedan is a great model and with Aaron's mad skills, you guys will have it drivable in no time! Best wishes on the build guys!

I have a heavy bias when it comes to the '57. I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm going to say, imagine how you felt when you rebuilt the transmission on the corvette. Now imagine how you'll feel if you bring this car around as complete as you want. Sure there will be lots o' cussing, but it will look awesome in the end! Heck! I'll even send you a check for the tire you had to buy and I'll buy merch! 🤪

This is an epic video for so many reasons. I love Jesse's song, will subscribe today. Make the '57 a 3 year project. Don't put any pressure on yourselves to get it done by a set time. Take the time to relish your time in the restoration, just like you did the few days that it took to get it into the shop with all of the ups and downs. Please make this a car for the generations to come in your life. I'm sure the Kid would love to inherit it in a few decades.

I love you guys, it’s been a blast, watching you these last so many years. Start a family! At 60 years old I can tell you that’s my one regret. I am a fellow motorhead, but if I had to do it all over again. I’d have a house full of kids. That being said you could always do the mechanical portions first. Put a nice LS in it and a stout frame and suspension. With a little bit of work you could drive it around for a year or so until you decide you want to become metal workers. When you’re old and gray you’ll be happy to be blessed with kids that love you and care for you. And who knows maybe they’ll become the next generation of Motörheads :) God bless you, remember, God is in control. - your friend Al

An approach that has worked for me before is, if you take it off fix it. That way if you need to bail out you put it back together better than it was and you also avoid boxes full of broken parts. You have a head start as all the parts are off.

My neighbor started a restoration on a 1949 pickup truck he got for free. It was 95% complete, had all good glass, little rust. He stripped it to the frame and tried to do a full restoration. I helped a lot on it, as other people did. He gave up after two years, saying he could buy three of these restored trucks for what he had already spent on it, and he was no where near done. That being said, he was not getting KZbin revenues so as he wasn't in his case i would today walk away from it. I know that it is more about the journey. If your KZbin revenues can support this restoration, then go for it. But with a 57 in this condition, it's a very very long road ahead.

I’d get it driving with a used engine, start using it and letting it speak to you about what you like and don’t like and how you want it eventually. You can always get a custom frame and build it up later while you enjoy the car and then swap the body over later once the frame is ready.

The whole front clip was rusted away, and I’m going to put a new frame under it as well. If mine were as nice as yours, I would make it a two or three year restoration, and make it a nice car to show, go to cruises and enjoy.

I have one just like this 57. 2 door 210 basket case. First is get it mobile. Even a temp small block to get it moving. Then safety. Brakes etc so if you move it, you can stop it. Please definitely paint it nice. Doesn't have to be a $10,000 paint job. But patina sucks. It's a classic 57. Make her look nice. She deserves it. My 57 has sat for years too and I am just getting started on it. So I am really looking forward to watching you two work on this particular car so I can learn too. It's an inspiration. You too are a great couple. It's fun to have your lady wrenching on cars with you. My wife is great but doesn't know anything about cars. I wish. You 2 are lucky. Have a lot of fun and I look forward to more on this car.

A 283 built could actually be really fun. 245-75 horses stock. That’s nothing to turn your head about unless it’s about how fast you gotta go. Watching your show I don’t think it’s about speed but enjoying the car itself. I’d say go totally stock on the build! No one does that anymore!! Really how is old school by being original and have fun doing it along the way!I love you guys you’re so dang nice and wholesome! Something of past times I love! Just good peeps!

Greetings from Norway, I believe that such a fine example of a "Sjevy" should be restored to full condition. Good luck with the project and "building a workshop" 😊

All I can suggest if money and time is not lined up to make it happen then do your best to preserve it. Ghosting the metal work with A paint to continue the rust protection, install the Glass and cranks so they can come down when you need them to.The way I think of restoration is you do the best parts available that you can afford, LS is a cheap and readably motors that can make real HP. I'm Currently banking parts for my 1968 c/10 that my mom bought for my dad, I went to the hospital in mom and came home between them, when I turned 16 Dad game me the truck, not many people get to have something that has been with them since they were born and its Anniversary Gold and White. So House and Garage and daily drivers first then preserve and protect future projects. I enjoy watching both of you and at times Erin reminds of my buddies growing up that we did not always know what we were doing but we had fun doing it.

Glad to see y’all have started the restoration of the iconic ‘57 Chevy! Have you considered selling the horse trailer conversion now that you have that nice camper? You could use the money to do the home rehab or any of the other vehicles and gain some space to park your cars. 🦊

Long term projects have a way of getting pushed to the back and taking 3 times the amount of time so my advice is to get it running and driving, like Dan from D&D Speed shop or Mr Newburn's 57 cause if it runs and drives and you enjoy it you will make the time to keep upgrading it. So get it mechanically sound, running and driving. Then go from there I mean ya can save up and get a nice interior kit, all the trim and body panels (if it needs any) and last would be paint it. Aaron has a good idea doing it in phases, I think running and driving should be phase 1 though.

Dear Aaron and Emily, I think you gave the answer to your own question. It's not only what you want but also a matter of priority. So I would say make the car running and driving, build the buildings you need to keep all your cars safe and when all that is done give the 57 the beauty it deserves. Greetings from the Netherlands, Martijn

Sweet ride... you can't beat a 57' Just get it running and street-able, then you can enjoy it and slowly add the goodies ! If you go the full boogie it will take forever & you will never drive it well not for a long time anyway. A nice small block if you can find and old school 283ci or 327ci Vette engine even better. Clean the body up a bit, but still go the full patina route at least till the time you are ready for paint. My love of 57's began as a wee lad watching my cousin build and race his 57' The car was wicked.... Black with flamed tilt fiberglass frontend & snorkel hoodscoop Running a 283ci. w/ Hilborn fuel injection & 4 spd with Mr. Gasket V-Gate shifter and 12bolt w/4:56's I have many memories crusing in that wild ride, snapping peoples necks as we rumbled past 😮 The best ones at the dragstrip, steadying the car in the burnout box... then watching that mean 57' blast down the 1/4 mile running. Sorry for the extended post, but once i got started,... i couldn't stop 😊 I wish you two all the best with one of the greatest hotrodded cars of the past... and just think if you pick up another 10 -15 more Tri-5's, you'll be right there with DD Speed Shop 😂😂😂 So start with one and see how it goes 😉 Looking forward to the build. Thank you for the entertaining videos ✌️🙂
