Building a '57 Chevy in the Most Unique Way Possible

[@brandonmiller4133]

This is cool! I’m looking forward to the build on this thing especially that s/c intake. Keep up the good work!

[@young11984]

Calvin it warms my heart to see your dad seems to be back to his old self prior to his crash

[@2001tranzam]

Glad to see a build of this type. Gives me inspiration for my 52 pontiac I just picked up my donor trailblazer for the swap. The information between you and your dad has always been great to follow along with.

[@Qnickel27]

As a fellow ‘57 owner who credits rides in my grandfathers ‘57 for my car addiction, I have to say I’m really looking forward to this project! I’ll be eagerly awaiting the next installment!

[@alexanderjones6383]

Hell yeah Andrew. Keep it up. I'm really interested in how you make that intake for the M122. I've one sitting on my shelf too and I'm here for it.

[@jasonsapp792]

I just started watching the video but AWESOME seeing the 57 getting worked on!!

[@JamesRodriguez-lj5xk]

I'm glad you made this video it reminds me of my transformation from a nobody to good home, $34k monthly and a good daughter full of love

[@JamesMark-gc3fz]

My advice to everyone is that saving is great but investment is the key to be successful imagine investing $15,000 and received $472,700.

[@JenniferRose-g9l]

Making touch with financial advisors like Ann Marie strunk who can assist you restructure your portfolio, would be a very creative option. Personal financial management will be crucial to navigating the next difficult times.

[@AndreasNellen]

Thanks to Mrs. Ann Marie strunk's time in my life, which had a profound impact on me.

[@JamesBrown-p7i]

Ann Marie strunk has really set the standard for others to follow, we love her here in the Uk 🇬🇧 as she has been really helpful and changed lots of life's.

[@MarryMichael-l1u]

Unfortunately, not all of us were financially literate early. I was 35 when I finally educated myself and started taking steps. I went from $176,000 in debt with zero savings or retirement to now, 2 years later, fully debt-free and over $1000,000 net worth. I know that doesn't SOUND like a lot, but I'm incredibly proud of it. Now I'm fast-tracking my wealth building (investing $400,000 annually) and don't owe a dime to anyone. It's a good feeling!

[@GIGABACHI]

Good job, Dad ! Looking forward to what you bring us next year ! Specially the plumbing in/fabrication process & results of a blown i-6 Atlas. Good luck with your shoulder/arm update and Happy Holidays to you and all. P.S: I never give up hope on seeing you guys work your magic on the 4 and 5 cylinder engines . . . maybe next year. ☺👍

[@andrewnelson3733]

4 yes, 5 yes and Nstar. Not in that order LOL

[@K4rt80y]

Years from now, when the Atlas is spoken in the same breath as the 2JZ, we'll know where it all started.

[@Mechanickirk]

Bad ass Dad!! I'm very happy to see you're getting better and excited to see this!

[@kellysandford1877]

Can’t wait to see more from this build. So happy to see you still rocking in the garage!

[@jonathangehman4005]

This is going to be cool. I'm definitely NOT a tri-5 guy, or even a Chevy guy, but this one really gets me excited! I see you're starting with a nice rustfree PA car

[@camelisator]

an just like that I just realized that Nivlac is just Calvin backward 🐌. Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎄

[@macattack1392]

Love it! Cant wait for the future wrenching on this ride & all the others to come! The family bond & team. Congrats on the soon to be retirement! Was always my dream to do a true father/son build.

[@LynnTwinCustoms513]

Glad to see your healing process going well POPS! Excited to see this m122 supercharger scream

[@onehourgarage]

Awesome to see you two enjoying time together.

[@daniesalex7073]

May God Bless You All. Don't go too hard on your self with the number of projects for KZbin.

[@shadowopsairman1583]

A modern spin on an era appropriate engine for that car (I6s were common) It would be really awesome to see an iron block of atlas made, I mean GEP took the DD 6.5 and made it way better

[@stephenolshefski9290]

Definitely keeps us informed. Enjoy this build. And I see you haven’t loss your gift of gab. Well done. Merry Christmas

[@estebanmatias92]

The builds, engineering and content keep getting better and better. Loving every project!

[@allenl9031]

Nice project, and Merry Christmas to the Nelson family.

[@PullStartStables]

Very cool build plans! Merry Christmas to you and yours! This inspires me to get working on my ‘57 Star Chief more!

[@garthp9874]

Getting ready to retire? That's wonderful. This channel does have some very unique builds and I am ready for it. I want to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas. Good Luck and God Bless.

[@designandbuild3953]

I really enjoy your channel, you two are an inspirtion to us all in the pursuit of our racing addiction. Thank you both!

[@nickmudd]

I'm so excited for all these 4200 builds!!!

[@dustnreichu929]

Merry Christmas to the Nelson family

[@jp2246]

Merry Christmas as well to you and your family!

[@Friedbrain11]

A long time ago I had a '55 4 door with absolutely no accidents or damage to it. Wish I still had that car.

[@LoganC278]

Merry Christmas to the nivlac57 family looking forward to this project

[@punksrfr]

Amen pops, Merry Christmas to the fam! Awesome new project, the 57 is my favorite tri-five too🙌🏼

[@pro1342]

Congrats on (almost) hitting retirement. I'd be interested in hearing more about the two of you. Ever consider doing a video on who you guys are and how things got started?

[@andrewnelson3733]

Calvin has talked about a "Story time with Pop" series. 43 years of racing has provided some great times.

[@Fierofreak01]

Super excited! Living vicariously through your builds, and look forward to each video.

[@getawayperformance]

love this

[@growlith6969]

This is picture perfect youtube. Grass roots, breaking new ground, low stakes, high return, and repeatable for home viewers that want to give it a shot themselves.

[@triton199]

don't feel too dated, my first car back in high school was a 54 Olds when I was 16...in 2005 lol. sold it in 2013 and was lucky enough to buy it back at the end of 2019. has a 350 smallblock in it right now but I'd like to do an atlas 5cyl turbo in it eventually

[@Freeloves_Whipps]

Cool build! Good to see some old Iron get saved! Merry Christmas!!!

[@beaujohnson2021]

Very excited to see this build play out. Good to see Pops happy.

[@2dogsmowing]

It's just awesome seeing you guys do a 57 chevy. It's my dream car. I wanted a blown 454 but after seeing what the 4200 is capable of. I might have to change up my thinking of a power plant. It's going to be very cool seeing what comes of this car over time.

[@ZackNakazora1]

Merry Christmas!! To you and yours! I'll be along for the ride

[@brianhaw9398]

Looking forward to seeing this car with the blower! I follow Dan too! Merry Christmas!

[@josephernest91]

Heck yeah! I was most excited for the supra build but now I'm all in on the tri5. Such a cool idea! Can't wait for the next installment on the build. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@Thumper68]

One of my best friends has an all original 56 4 door it’s a great car.

[@vincekartes7145]

Congrats on your bucket list car! I also have always loved the 57 body style and look forward to watching your build progress. You guys do some amazing work, one of my favorite channels!

[@johnlewis8156]

Watching you and Calvin pulling the front end off before it went into the shop made me realize how strong you have gotten again! Glad you are getting a chance to build a bucket list car! Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!

[@COYOTE_N8]

Finally scrolling through youtube pays off. Thx, needed something worth while to watch!!

[@volksnut]

Always enjoy the ride, glad your doing better, love your videos. I owned a '57 more door also. Merry Christmas to you all too

[@DustyKelley2000]

Someone protect this man. Watching this channel is such an enjoyable experience every single time. Just people doing what they love and sharing their stories with the world.

[@chrisrichards1339]

Looking forward to following such an interesting and different build. Not to mention the fact that its a tri five. Good to see youre back at it with some old/new school stuff as part of your continuing recovery. Props. And absolutely try to make it to the tri five nats you wont regret going. My buddy and i travel 1800 miles each way from eastern canada in his 55 and havent missed a year(except for covid boarder closures). Truly a must do event for any tri five gearhead.

[@donaldhalls2189]

Coming along great, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones, Merry Christmas,

[@JohnNade-c2u]

Merry Christmas,looks like a fun project glad to see you back at it.

[@MeleeTV]

Poppa Niv made it to the thumbnail and I clicked instantly. Thank you for these videos guys.

[@modeverything1]

These builds keep getting better and better! Looking forward to this one 👍

[@TheSartinBrothers]

Papa Nelson is the the dad we all wish we had! Also super excited about this project! Keep going! 🇺🇸

[@ericwilson2585]

Yep, merry Christmas everyone! I've only ever ridden in a 57 once in my life for about 2 blocks. A guy living next door to me had one for about week, and one morning he was going to work so I ran outside and asked him if I could ride just 2 blocks and that I would walk back, it was worth every step....😂

[@frankfrosolonejr7010]

You have a great taste in old cars. Definitely enjoy the builds you do keep up the good work guys!

[@jimzivny1554]

Sounds like a great project. Happy Holidays to you and your family

[@vrg69]

Merry Christmas cool car can't wait to see it run

[@mikefed43]

Can’t wait to see this one come to fruition. Watch DD speed show as well.

[@hackjobhotrodshop5075]

Your mileage may vary, but I think you will be putting a cooler in the intake earlier than you'd plan. Granted my m122 is on an lq4 but I ran it for 2yrs without a cooler and it ran about as fast as an NA lq4. They are good blowers when you put a cooler after them but even on 8psi mine would max out the IAT past the 330ft mark. You might be ok with 100 less cubes but I picked up 2 seconds in the 1/4 by just tossing a cooler in the manifold. Either way cool build and it should still be fun without a cooler but I was surprised how much heat the m122 made.

[@michaelblacktree]

Seems fitting that Nivlac57 is building a 57. 😎

[@andrewnelson3733]

Now with 57K subs.

[@jclaybaugh2]

Keep at it, Pops!

[@darbythompson7020]

Could not stop thinking of the Fat Electrician in this intro lol

[@Jared45513]

And so it begins!!!... supercharged is gonna be so cool

[@Baribrotzer]

That Five-Seven is one ol' beater! Can't have been cheap - even a four-door beater Five-Seven has got to be in demand, and they only made so many of them.

[@jackgray1402]

This is some Tony Angelo style shenanigans. 😁 I'd love to see you guys do a video with the Stay Tuned guys. @StayTunedTA

[@andrewnelson3733]

We have talked to Tony at Drive N Drive events and at Maple Grove. No real interest on his part. Maybe when we get bigger. I want to race David Newbern and his 57.

[@m2pmd70]

Awesome project! Excited to follow your progress. :)

[@jb6222]

Merry Christmas

[@gunsandmachinesenthusiast]

YESSS

[@383mazda]

Cool project, and amen on the Merry Christmas!!

[@paulmartin8212]

It's good to see you out in the garage working on really cool projects with your family. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Hope to visit one of the drag and drive events this coming year. I talked to Calvin at drag way 42 in Ohio a few years ago.

[@flexmasterflex5443]

Merry Christmas from the PNW

[@jeningrassia9541]

Glad to see you're doing better!

[@jesse9638]

I really enjoyed this one. I hope your surgery and recovery go very well and I’m looking forward to see this thing get ready! Merry Christmas!

[@BigFun4Life]

Merry Christmas 🎄..!

[@RandBLSWorld]

Brilliant !

[@jasonfikes9514]

Have you considered calling this project Y, because that's the question your going to hear most often ( why did I you do this, why did you do that). Cool twist on putting a roots style blower in a tri 5. Merry Christmas to you and your family as well. ✌😁

[@jayburrough4308]

These are the videos I like keep them coming please

[@bvward]

Nice choice, guys! I'm a '57 too...☺

[@damiansmith5294]

ayyy supercharged? And look at all the space you got to work with!

[@seandevine4854]

4200VORTC SWAP ALL THINGS!!

[@andrewnelson3733]

Atlas the world

[@Carcrafter7165]

I’m liking this project already. Ever since Calvin has been building the Atlas 4.2 liter I’ve thought of 2 cars that if I had the money I would l want Calvin to build. The first one would be a 68-72 Nova sedan and the second would be a 66-67 Chevell 4 door sedan. And make them a daily driver go anywhere car with lots of power.

[@rustyjeep2469]

Those would make for cool drivers. I know a lady who has been daily driving a '66 4 door Chevelle she inherited for 20+ years. It's a basic 6cyl powerglide post car, all stock & original with a repaint in the original teal, the thing just keeps on running. I've heard those old GM inline sixes run forever but they're not exactly powerhhouses. An Atlas swap into one of those would make for a more drivable car in 2024 traffic while keeping it a GM inline six, and if you added forced induction you'd really have a fun sleeper...

[@jacqeusmouton4005]

Always wanted a '57 since I saw Project X in Popular Hot Rodding. Eventually bought a four-door when I was 24, along with two extra front doors. Lengthened the front doors, moved the posts back and welded the rears up. Moved the leaf springs inboard and fitted 10 inch Weld Wheels at the back, 8 inch in front. Dropped her on the floor, spent months block sanding it and painted her black...drove her for five years and then stupidly swapped her for a Harley. Good times!

[@CC-mb8fi]

Father and son builds......excellent. every hot rod dads dream........ Its great to see you doing an alternative route to simply swapping in 8 pot power assistance......... you guys have done a lot of work and developement on the 6 and it sounds awsome going down the track...... All the best with the build, we will definately keep our eye on it.....

[@markmonroe7330]

Excellent presentation. Thank you very much.

[@TurboTaco2JZ]

These projects are always exciting to watch

[@nick_nt7574]

DD Speedshop mentioned! This channel probably has the most information on 4200 swaps, would consider doing a swap for a 1st gen silverado/sierra with that motor from a v6, it'll still be a 6 cylinder truck!

[@button-puncher]

Thinking about doing the same on my Astro Van. Only ever came with a V6. Plus I might be able to fit a supercharger or turbo in the engine bay.

[@andrewnelson3733]

​@@button-punchersweet

[@g.wes.3906]

0:11 gentlemen, in stall a cheap winch on the floor towards the back of the garage, power it however you feel. Save your back and much safer. Plus, you can move cars in and out by yourself.

[@rustyjeep2469]

Agreed. Seems to work out well for NoNonsenseKnowHow. You should be able to just hook up a car battery connected to a trickle charger assuming it's not being used all day long.

[@davidthompson245]

Can't wait!, it's going to sound amazing!.

[@marktilley388]

cant wait to see what you go with this glad to see you doing as well as you are Andy

[@xozindustries7451]

I’m so happy to see you guys starting to work on the 57, I was hoping for a blown big block 57, but I’m just as excited to see this setup. I’ve been thinking about using a B&M 177 on the 4.2L from a big block for the snout length, but that’s a few projects away

[@HILLBILLY_HARD]

This channel never ceases to amaze me!!

[@krakhedd]

Hell yeah old man! Build it!!

[@_the_Chad_]

Love it! What an interesting build. Merry Christmas guys

[@uptownsamcv]

AWESOME!! a lag less supercharger will make it a nice car to cruise around in.

[@mcstudebaker8731]

Merry Christmas and thank you for the awesome content!

[@AllSpeed]

great stuff, i love all the builds!

[@ronaldfarmer1208]

A project with apeal ,I am loving all the intest in the 4200 sixes
