@@ironcladranchandforge7292 half a grand at least for the front seat, at least that much for the front clip.....dont worry, dan will come down from frostbackistan and scoop it up
The other day my wife said I can't believe you're still watching this guy I said this is several episodes later.... she's like why? I said it's kind of like hanging out in the shop with a buddy of yours and not feeling bad about not lending a hand to do anything lol and the barley pops are close by! Been home for a few weeks going through surgery recovery.thanks for helping me kill time keep them coming 😉👍
Mortske, you and DD speed shop should do a collaboration on a tri 5 project some time, since he is the expert. You could probably learn a lot from him. That wagon could be a two door in twelve minutes. LOL! Love your videos.
Your making it affordable for someone to start a project and just put money in it weekly as you get paid. That's how we all built our rods when I was young. Sides jobs are awesome for making extra project cars.
I owned one, same color, but BelAir. By the time I got it in the mid-90s, it had been through several owners and drivetrains. Everybody in town either knew of the car, or partied in it at one time or another. I knew it had a 327/4spd in it before I bought it because I knew the previous owner, he was my best friend. He passed of cancer at 25. His wife sold the car and I found it for sale with no engine/trans. I put a 283/Powerglide in it. My best bud and I were cruising in it one day, and the brake pedal went all the way to floor, heard a snap on the RF wheel. The pin that holds the top two brake shoe springs snapped off, this pin also holds the wheel cylinder, so in conjunction with the single reservoir master cylinder, we wound up running a stop sign at 40mph, and literally put her on two wheels making the hardest right turn I've ever ridden in. I replaced the MS with a dual from a 70s Camaro, along with its proportioning valve and new brake lines for the fronts. Highly recommend this mod if you plan on keeping her.
You could put a windshield and some patina oil on it. To bad you don't have an old small block to put in it with that 3 speed people like when they run. I almost dropped my beer when I saw the inside of that motor and the look on your face was priceless. Another fun video keep them coming.
I know right, man when Mortske lifted the intake off that thing I thought holy crap that things dirtier than Duff after finding a virgin mud pit to roll around in.
Just ordered my Duff bobble head and the orange squarebody decal that matches my squarebody !! Duff will go on the dash and the decal will proudly be displayed on the rear window. Thanks for the entertainment!!!
What a shame !! However , You did bring it around and make it into a very pretty piece of classic 1957 Chevrolet . You have a way with words as well as the tools to make this station wagon look like a diamond in a coal mine . Some times you have to go round the Sun to meet the Moon but its the outcome that's important , and you were very successful . Thank you for the work you do to bring these videos to us . Mortske , you are the man !! and I love your honest , and humorous approach to every situation , Stuart in Canada ..
I opened up a sbc oh a couple of years ago now. And when I popped the intake off the lifter valley was full of dog food!! Talk about a surprised guy when I seen that.
I've been eyeing this in the background as I have a hankering for a tri-five wagon, as soon as I saw it was $3000 I knew it wouldn't run! It's a good price, i've seen a ton of total junk for waay more and this one's now been on tv!! Thanks Mortske!
Even in the late 60s and the 70s, 57 Chevys were popular. They still are. But for me, I love a 40s coupe. Still.. station wagons have always had a special place in my heart
Mortske i enjoy watching your videos i loke the one you did for your dad on the buick ls swap i thought you did a great job i have watched you before you got bigger i enjoy you videos more than vice grip i lost my dad 7 weeks ago and it has been rough i miss him alot i was also a mechanic welder and electrian 3 back surgerys ended that but i love your vidoes and that video was not to long i wished that you would do some more ls swaps detail for detail i could watch it even if it was 4 hours in segments to see what all needs done like in a sqaure body chevy pick up ill allways be partial to the 350 chevy or 454 but those are getting harder to find they have either been scrapped or used in drag cars everyone wants a ls engine now plus there are s bunch of them anyway i appreciate what all you do and i sure enjoy watching your videos thank you very much from Alabama
I can never get over how long the nose is on those, and how much room they have in front of the engine, and yet the back of the engine is still jammed into the firewall.
ive been in the trade since 84. We had a car come with a seized motor no oil. We replaced the motor and got it running and found the gearbox was seized too. No you are not a hack mechanic Dr Mortske. You are an automotive surgeon of the first order. Do what most of us mechanics do . Have a sandwich or 3. The shakes stop after the first 6 sandwiches. You're giving up! Its only a couple of rusty pushrods LOL I knew it was going to be bad when you had to cut the distributor off. Love your channel.
The bigger disappointment in my younger life was buying 3 sets of factory Corvette valve covers and realizing they wouldnt work on later sbc , I had them for 20 yrs and a Corvette guy found out I had them and offered big money , I finally found justice after 20yrs
Morkske Repair Friend Always good watching your videos and Duff the dog !! And even though the 57 Chevrolet Station Wagon sbc 283 ci V8 engine was to for gone ,great job on you putting your work into the rest of the car too clean it up 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😃😃💪💪👍👍👍👍
Totally agree with washing the crud off before working on a new project, especially the engine/bay, knock all the webs off and run off the critters and their stinky nests. But these guys who completely detail a car that's been in a barn 30+ years and they haven't even checked to see if it turns over, that's just bad luck.
That engine is well done. The mouses made the best home of the engine. I have never seen anything like that. Great video learn something new every day. 😊
When I was growing up in Boulder Co. there was a Ledgen of hubcap Anny. She would go around picking up hubcaps off the side of roads and turn around and sell them.
woohoo!! Another amazing Mortske Monday video! Thanks again for all your hard work to produce these sir. So many of us seriously enjoy your vast knowledge and amazing work ethic!
Hi Mortski and Duff and his Pop nice video 📹 and workmanship I love that car inside and out paint job from Earl Shibe Have a full size Duff Bobble in the back or around the vehicle Or Pudding 🍮 full also say do Duff do You want a Bisket or Pudding For looks for yard art 🎨 🤔
Those 57s are very simple cars to work on unless you are a whiner. I had 3 different ones back in the mid 60s when I was in high school. Had to put an engine in one of them. You might fall in love with it. It was easy to find parts for them back then. The 57s were the first year of the 283 so unless it was built in late 56 yours should be a 283.
as one of the fans who suggested the Ridgid shop vac I’m glad it’s living up to your expectations. Not that anyone in the comments wouldn’t be an expert of course.
Wesley’s is now Black Magic and I use it on my whitewalls and raised white letters with no issue. I’ll have to try the Magic Eraser trick. Massive improvement on the old 57. Looks like a different car now.
I spotted that in the back of your other vid & I'm not a big tri five guy either but something about that wagon just does it for me! Love that blue 2 tone, Bro! This made me happy when I woke up this morning! ✌️from Ohio
You are doing the Lord's work by instructing the youths on how to add value to the junk rusting away at pap-pap's farm. It takes skill to polish turds into project car gold.
that a pretty nice wagon, i bought my 57 210 wagon about a year ago with no engine or trans. on 57 the center bumper bar is wagon only. you can use a car bumper it will fit it just don't have the flat spot where the tags go at . i put a regular car bumper on mine that i had in stock. my wagon was sitting since 1972. it is running and driving now. i put a 350 & th350 in it and i got the brakes working.
Love the videos, and am glad you are not doing the 50 and 60 thousand dollar stuff that most of us cannot afford. Back in 1965 I think it was, my grandfather traded his 54 Chevy BelAir 2door and a shotgun and 25 bucks for a 1957 Chevy wagon with only 29 thousand miles on it. Six cylinder and standard trans and it had a radio and two rear view mirrors, and several options. He kept that car until he passed away in 1982 at the age of 92 years old. The wagon was still going strong when I sold it to an old codger that I knew would take care of it. Thanks again for the videos. They are entertaining while we can learn some things. Thank you.
Yeah 80s. Swap meets you could pick your parts and for couple hundred bucks you. Could assemble generic. SBC for projects..less if you waited til closing and scoured the. Piles of Chevy stuff left behind😅😅
51:19 I am pretty amazed at the Comet wash efforts, they turned the green fenders blue again. Definitely worth doing the whole car for wow factor in photos!
Really enjoyed this video! If you liked the way it looked when it was wet & shiney, you could get some of the VGG Shine Juice from Derek. It can be wiped on or sprayed on & it would make it look amazing with that paint!! Thanks for the video!!
Btw if that small block doesn't have a built in oil filter it is for a 265. In the 80's that had another 4.3 265 in Malibu's and monte carlos that of course has the filter mount cast into the block.
If this TH-cam thing doesn’t pan out, you could always do ‘Mortske’s Detail Shop’ with the Comet bucket? 😂😂 But seriously, that color is amazing. Just the right amount of semi flat, and patina. Also, I finally got the support to your channel fixed, so that’ll help too. Be blessed brother.
Looks "really nice"! I appreciate all the project flipping tips! I was excited when we found the engine was trash, first thing I thought of was that blower motor sitting around somewhere! I love a wagon with a blower! A blown Faux-mad! Let's do it! (and let's, I mean you... I'll watch from home!)
Sir Thomas demonstrates in almost every video the practically subliminal demonstration of hard work ethic and how it translates to goal achievement. It’s the example of the experienced engineer who does not suffer fools gladly; yet, even with a growl or cheese and rice - perseveres and gets up the next day knowing the rock is in front of his door, then proceeds to push it up the hill - again. Inherently, he’s setting an example for the next generation. You can tell he’s doing the right thing - because God gave him Duff!
That's a great base to work off of for someone. There's so many long roof clubs forming out there they've become more desirable. Someone will snatch that up and go with it.
Minute 37 - oh no, don't think this engine is ever going to run. Minute 43 - worst fears confirmed and then some. It has to be disheartening at times as you rip into these engines and discover how bad things really are. Props for hanging in there with them and doing your best to add some value for the next owner/s. I always enjoy your content, it's clear you enjoy what you're doing and you're educating/entertaining a large audience!
Im not usually a fan of the wagons unless it’s a nomad but I like this one because it has the small block one of my favorite motors is a 50s small block Chevy those old 283 sound so good with the right exhaust
Used Wesley's Bleach White for over 40 years and still works the best. Hard to find now in some stores. Cleans up the paint on a car as well then polish/wax it.
Good tip for using Magic Erasers on whitewalls! I was just googling that yesterday after getting greasy finger prints all over mine. The wagon really came around!
What a deal, it even came with a chain to yank the motor! 😂 As a kid my dad and I always used 409 and a scotch-brite on white walls. I’ll bed spray nine would work well too.
These things only get harder to find or get. As long as they're making anels for them it could become a Tesla transplant or your next BB strip warrior. Very nice to have the framework and layout with a lovely front clip. Cool opportunity for folks Mortske.
Man I wish I had the extra money and you were closer, that seem like a super good deal. All in all it looks relatively solid, and the core support hasn’t even been hacked up. They almost always are cut.
The 3 ton aluminum racing jack is on sale TODAY at HF for 149 man that's 100 bucks off.. If i 'needed' one I'd go grab one today.. it's a one day sale, the way they do it, while supplies last, no rain checks in stock only! Haha
It does have a body nice blue color. Well hopefully someone will save it. My home town used to have Packard plant where there made wiring harness for vehicles used to have a lot of people work back in the days. Nice video hard work man and duff on you tube.

I always enjoy your content, it's clear you enjoy what you're doing and you're educating/entertaining a large audience!
Thank you
Hey Mortske what works better on trim and stainless is to use wood wedges. Preferably hard wood. Just a thought.
Im not usually a fan of the wagons unless it’s a nomad but I like this one because it has the small block one of my favorite motors is a 50s small block Chevy those old 283 sound so good with the right exhaust
Fair enough!
@@MortskeRepairneed a Chevy parts car for motor or tranny you got gold there....see DD SPEED SHOP HE WORKS WITH WORSE😅😅
Used Wesley's Bleach White for over 40 years and still works the best. Hard to find now in some stores. Cleans up the paint on a car as well then polish/wax it.
Good to know
I was thinkin maybe a ratchet wrench on the sparkplug socket would work...eventually you got it . Good deal dude ! Keep up the good work brother✌️💯
Thanks for the tip
1:08:46 "The Wall'The Ceiling'The Floor'The plumbing'The electrical" Sometimes I forget how fun Mortske's language can be

This got me looking at wagons more. Love to find one to build to pull a vintage boat behind it for car shows and to go to the river
I’ll sell ya one!
@@MortskeRepairbeen a wagon guy since being brought home from hospital in Chevy wagon 😊😊
I can't believe nobody's buying this car from you it's a beautiful piece of machinery
Me too
Good tip for using Magic Erasers on whitewalls! I was just googling that yesterday after getting greasy finger prints all over mine. The wagon really came around!
Happy to help!
@@MortskeRepairyeah Westley's BLEACHE WHITE. OR PURPLE POWER. STRAIGHT WILL KNOCK EM WHITE
What a deal, it even came with a chain to yank the motor! 😂
As a kid my dad and I always used 409 and a scotch-brite on white walls. I’ll bed spray nine would work well too.
Good show !! It's always fun and informative. See you next week
Thanks for coming
These things only get harder to find or get. As long as they're making anels for them it could become a Tesla transplant or your next BB strip warrior. Very nice to have the framework and layout with a lovely front clip. Cool opportunity for folks Mortske.
Man I wish I had the extra money and you were closer, that seem like a super good deal. All in all it looks relatively solid, and the core support hasn’t even been hacked up. They almost always are cut.
Right on
@@MortskeRepairthrow a carbed 350. And a. Turbo you got money in the bank
You're making me want that car even more now with those tires and white walls and hubcaps
Could be yours!
That's a 15k. Car
Mortske and a holiday(in Ontario) Things can't get better.
It was inspirational watching you adjust that rear cross member with that precision tool.
Precision work
thank you, that was fun to watch. and night mares of sliding up on that divider.
The 3 ton aluminum racing jack is on sale TODAY at HF for 149 man that's 100 bucks off.. If i 'needed' one I'd go grab one today.. it's a one day sale, the way they do it, while supplies last, no rain checks in stock only! Haha
Nice
It does have a body nice blue color. Well hopefully someone will save it. My home town used to have Packard plant where there made wiring harness for vehicles used to have a lot of people work back in the days. Nice video hard work man and duff on you tube.
Very cool
