Dead in a field to garage burnouts in less than a week! The giveaway BelAir was definitely a little more stuck that I had originally hoped for. The motor wasn't a hard or expensive fix but fairly labor intense. Once I got the oil pressure issue solved I moved onto the fuel system.
You guessed it, that didn't go well either. The old fuel pump was busted so I replaced it with one I had in stock, clicked it on and nothing....... Something along the line was plugged and not allowing fuel to flow up stream. Well apart it came to be cleaned. Success! I had fuel flowing now.
After I bled the brakes I was planning to drive the car out of the garage. Well that didn't happen either..... All 4 wheel cylinders were locked up resulting in NO BRAKES. So apart the front brakes came and I replaced everything with a good used set I had on the shelf.
Finally it was time to go around the block. The car did great and I finished it off with a healthy garage BURNOUT!
It was a hard fought battle but ultimately a HUGE win in the end.

I've had experience with engines that got a dose of water through them and they all seemed to actually run better ,some for years afterwards. That appears to be OK, even pretty quiet in fact ,lifter wise. The panel fit looks really good so I'd tend to leave it as a Four door. Can't wait to see your first 1/4 mile times in it.

I purchased my first car in 1961. It was a 57 Chevy. One dealership wanted $700 for it. She was a jewel. No way could I afford car payments for this one but ended up with one that was $500. It gave be a lot of trouble with generator, transmission bands slipping, radiator plugged up, etc.etc. plus two people ran into the back of me. Ever since I got rid of it for a car I could depend on I dream of owning another 57 Chevy. A little too old for this dream to come true but it never hurts to dream. Good luck and God Bless.

Leave it as is, the exhaust sounds fine, You've already done a 2 door conversion, leave it a 4-door. Let the next person do what they want with it. If they want a two-door, well you showed them how to do it. I love a two-door but only prefer the two door coupe, which would be a heck of a lot harder conversion. The next person likes of four-door, the next person likes a gaster, One person wants it black, one person wanted blue, one person one of the original patina. You can't please all of us and all of our taste, so just leave it to the next person. I would give it a good polish, and see how much that old thing will shine, I think a lot of that paint will come back. I would do a bunch of small improvements, making sure it's mechanically ready to roll, and is just a good car, worthy of being on the highway. Whatever you do don't push it in the creek, I will walk my fat ass all the way to Canada from Illinois, to pick it up before you do that LOL 🤪

I had a '55 with a SBC with the exact same problem ( Water in the oil ). ... I changed the oil / filter and re-torqued the heads ( Some bolts were NOT correct ) and had zero issues after that. ... Great Work, Keep it up.

This is starting to remind me of the grocery getter Chevelle my buddy bought. It was a two door but but bench seat, 307 badges, trailer hitch, stock rims with skinny tires, needed a tune badly. Once we get it tuned it ran too good. He punched it on the wet freeway and spun right around. After sitting on the side of the road for about 15 minutes while his heart slowed down we dug into it. Turned out to be a Corvette 327 small journal with power pack heads. We had a ton of fun in that thing.

You got to change gear and trans oil. Get back brakes working. Change flexing hoses. Mechanics have got to be correct for new owner. Washing and polishing chrome the new owner can handle. After you get thirty eight thousand more subs off this deal and they watched all your vids I'm sure utube will be sending you a cheque. But you got to jazz this package up. Get the patina sorted. Finish interior. Floors. carpet. Polish the wheels up. You got to speculate to accumulate. Keep on it and put out the content. It will be gone in a month. Good luck. PS go find the cars history. Who built the engine. Who rodded it. It must be a local car.who did the interior. It would be interesting to know. Maybe find some old pics on the drag strip. Good luck again. That 56 is safe. It's in your hands. Good winter project. Enjoy your summer.

Had one as my first hotrod. Great job! Keep it up. Sleeper muffler, quiet at idle and loud when into it.

I really like the sound of the mufflers on your Nova. I usually prefer a 2 dr., but this is a sharp little 4 - dr. car. I really enjoy watching your videos. You make everything look much easier than it actually is! Great job.

I first came across your channel when I saw you converting the '55 from a four-door to a two-door and continued to see Danielle's '57 converted to a 2-door. I was and still am impressed in your skill and craftsmanship in the metalwork you did (I was hooked and subscribed to your channel). I said all that to say: I would like to see you do more fabrication in converting the '57 Chevy to a 2-door, using what you've learned on converting the two other shoeboxes to two-doors, and applying it to this build. Great channel, Dan!

Loud mufflers! Cherry Bombs sound great and are period correct for a hot rod like that! Not the same thing as yours but, I broke an oil pump priming tool (the hex part on top of the tool) once when I tried spinning the pump in cold weather with 20-50 racing oil in the engine. The next time I spun the tool in cold weather, I pre heated the oil with a heat gun. No problem but I think I'm going to switch to 10-30 oil at the next oil change.

My 57 chevy (2 door ,150 model ) story from 1995. There's a screen above the headlights on 57's, its a vent tube that brings in fresh air into your car & exits on your feet. It was at night & I was on the freeway with about 5-6 car lengths behind the car in front of me.The guy in front of me flicks his cigarette out the window & it lands in between us . I see sparks fly. A millisecond later, the cherry of that cigarette travels all the way thru the vent & bursts again at my feet like fireworks. I scared the crap out of me. What are the odds of that? I miss that car, 283 & 4 speed. Red & white with cherry bombs.

Nice! Double bump heads. Bigger valves, better breathing equals more hp/torque.

Thing is so beautiful! My grandpa gave me a 1959 Rambler Ambassador that always reminded me of the '57 Chevy with the big fins that was his father's before him, and unfortunately it never ran when I got it, and went to a guy's salvage yard in trade for something that ran. It was back before the days of internet and ebay. The power steering was a mess, vacuum was a mess, the only fuel pump I could find didn't fit, etc etc etc. I will own another old car one day though. It will happen :)

I would have guessed the nylon adapter between the dist and oil pump. I have had one fail before. I remember the good old days, laying on the cement, on my back, Camaro on jack stands, changing the clutch on the 302. Again, hmm too many stop lights. 🙄 😉 🏎

Great job.. But a little bit to quiet.. It gotta at least have some kind of rumble.. Sad to see the T set aside for now but I'm a big Chevy fan.. So keep those 50's on going.. I'm a die hard 57 lover been looking for years but just can't find one in my price range around my area that's not rusted beyond repair... So for now I'll stay with my lifted K5 blazer life and watch you build these badass rides.. Your doing a great job and like always keep the wrenches on turnin and the tires on burnin.. Hell yeah..

It does look good as a four door. The primer looks cool, the stainless is mint. Replace the radiatro core support for sure.

The 4 door is cool I think it should stay that way. It's mostly old school so a set of "Thrush straight Mufflers" would suit it fine.
