The end product is going to be worth all of the work . In watching these videos , it's amazing what people in the past have considered "repairs" .............

[@indyme2]

Thanks, Bill. Work is still going on behind the scenes on this car. Building an engine for it now and purchasing parts as I am able. We'll get there and it will be a nice solid street rod.

The 1957 is looking good Jerry

[@indyme2]

Thanks, Joe. Making some progress.

[@dombutler7685]

It's coming along nicely!

[@indyme2]

Thank you, Mr. Butler. We are thankful for all progress. Looking forward to driving this one.

The 57 is coming along. It helps to have some expert help. Time for a young airman with a 57 story. While I was at Tyndall I noticed my front tire was starting to wear on the inside. It got bad in a hurry and the tire on one side started squealing going down the road. Since we didn't have a auto hobby shop on base and the first Sargent frowned on us working on cars in the barracks parking lot, I decided to take it to a local shop just off the base. The owner told me when I went to pick it up that when he put it up on the lift the right hand tie rod fell off the car. I had to make a Wimpy deal on paying for the work, work on my car today and I will pay you on Tuesday the 15th. On a personal note, I had a good visit with the surgeon and unless he finds something that surprises him, he has taken the big C off the table. He is still going to have to do a little nip and tuck on my colon. Say hello to the gang and keep the videos coming.

[@indyme2]

Great news, Jerry! I knew you were going to be ok with just a tune up. I bet Jackie is relieved too. I don't remember any place I was PCS that had a auto hobby shop. Always wanted to open one of those as a business but figured it would end up being storage for lazy peoples cars. Keep the 57 stories coming. Any pictures of that car?

[@jerrypolk5909]

@@indyme2 We had a nice auto hobby shop when I was stationed in Charleston SC. They even had a tool room where you could check out tools that you might need. Sorry no pics of my old 57.

[@indyme2]

@@jerrypolk5909 I was TDY somewhere, maybe Mountain Home, Idaho and they had one. Tool room too as I recall but I had no car at the time as I was headed to SEA. How much did it cost to use the shop in Chas? Any lifts?

[@jerrypolk5909]

@@indyme2 They didn't have any lifts just jacks and jackstands, I don't remember what the charge was.

Looking good Jerry. I didn't see Vern do a lick of work on this video

[@indyme2]

Vern? Working? You must be confusing this guy with someone else, John? Lol. Thanks for stopping in!

I just stopped in to meet Dave. And see Jerry sweat it at welding

[@ceedell]

Great help, nice progress!

[@indyme2]

Thanks, Wendell. We are getting there. As you well know, it's not a quick project. Hope all is well in Ohio.

@@indyme2 We survived the big blizzard where they said 20"+ snow and 3'-4' drifts, we only got 10" snow and a few 2' drifts. lol Should all be melted next week. The robins are back, think spring!

Y'all do great work.

[@indyme2]

Thank you. It's not always easy but we will get there.

[@waygonner]

Thanks so much for this video! I’m about 7 months behind you and doing much of the same to my ‘57. Videos like this save me a ton of time (when I make the effort to find them before struggling with stuff)!

[@indyme2]

Thanks for stopping in. Enjoying your videos.

[@AllenOxendine]

Nice job, great to have some help. I don't envy you welding under there!

Thanks, Erik. It's not easy for an old man but we will figure out a way. Thanks for stopping in.

Subbed to Dave the last time he was on your channel. Good job that looks nice.

Hope the trunk lid fits ?

Me too!

[@oldscout2514]

OK, guys where did it come from ? I owned a yellow 57 2 door post in late 60’s. Always mad at myself forever selling that car. It left me sitting on side of road, 20 miles from home. I got mad went bought a 70 Dodge Challenger. Dodge’s we’re all pos then. Own the 70 & 73 Charger. 73 stayed in shop, I owned it less than 6 months before I was ready to say goodbye. After the 73 was in shop, forever a factory rep said they could fix everything wrong with the car for $4000. What I paid for car. Miss my 57, had rebuilt suspension, motor, diamond pleated interior, new paint, Hurst shifter. Really nice car please paint it yellow

[@indyme2]

Love to hear these old stories, Scout! We all wish we had them back, lol. This car was found in Western North Carolina. It's rough as you can see but I always wanted a 55 and 57 Chevy so I had to save it. Not sure about the color yet. Yellow is BTTB. Still have some old Popular Hot Rodding magazines of Project X. Will probably put it in primer at first just to get it on the road and improve it later. Thanks for sharing your memories and we hope you will follow along with the build!

[@DoubleRRestorations]

Looks like it fit great Jerry. Are you in NC as well? I'm about 2 hours from Statesville.

[@indyme2]

Russ! Where have you been? You said something about starting a business and disappeared. Missing your videos. I am in SC about 2 hours from Statesville. Great to hear from you. Hope all is well.

[@DoubleRRestorations]

@indyme2 Doing good Jerry. I'm still here. Lol. Got some content getting ready to come out.
