- Bought this ‘57 Chevy two months ago but just now getting a chance to start the clean up process on it and working towards getting it running. Thanks for watching!
UPDATE: Found out this is a 300hp 327 built from 1962-64 that came with a manual transmission. Cool!
No gasser keep it original or hotrod love them 55/56/57 keep up the good work
Thanks for watching. Just gonna build a hotrod with it
She's beautiful and I can't wait to see the direction you go with her... thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
"She's a rough old girl, but she's mine and I like it."
I said the same thing about my high school sweetheart,lol.
Good luck with getting that '57 going!!
That’s pretty funny! Thanks for watching
This is going to be a great series. A regular, average guy with back issues and budget making his dream car out of a rough as a cob, rustbox. This will inspire, encourage and enlighten and I personally can't wait.
Thank you! You have described my channel perfectly. Thanks for watching
@@deepsouthclassics9446 I'm all about rooting for the underdog and believe that with determination, courage and guts, anybody can do anything. Show these youngsters what a REAL CAR is and how it's done! 🇺🇲
Wow! Very iconic classic car! I wish you good luck! The South is very tough on cars sitting as I know I’m in Houston and have owned a few oldies! Can’t wait for more videos on this beauty! 👍
Thanks for watching
Beautiful car! Waiting for the next video!
Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Lord Jesus fix what you have brother ruff an ready 🙏same here my heart attack was mild blood clot from covid and being over weight..love the channel thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching!
Cool car, sad to see another case of the it’s not for sale I’m gonna fix it some day but glad it’s gonna finally get back on the road.
I totally agree but it will be put back on the road now eventually. Thanks for watching
Nice.
I acquired a 71 Nova that sat 27+ years. The original owner stopped driving it because the key broke off in the switch....
I cleaned the plugs and condenser, spliced a heater hose that a rat chewed through and put in a new lock assembly..... fired right up and runs really good, even shifts out...
350/350 2bbl 2 dr, paid $400. in total
I also have a 55 Lincoln Capri 2dr complete and original
That’s awesome and gives me hope. Thanks for watching!
@@deepsouthclassics9446 if you haven't already, pour an entire quart of transmission fluid equally down the intake to the cylinders, clean or replace the plugs. And let the fluid sit for several days or week. It'll soak into the metals and the carbon to help free up the engine
I love the rust look on this car!! I say keep it and make everything under the hood and interior look new!!!
I like that idea, thanks for watching
I am slowly restoring a 57 Chevy 210 as well. Looking forward to your project.
Thanks for watching and good luck with your project
Sweet project love it , I picked up a 56 same shape my driver door was stuck too . that little tooth thing on the latch freeze up tight I mig weld so I jut cut a rectangle whole get in there from the inside /easy than just tack weld back worked perfect good luck sweet buy Jim in seabastopl ca over heaven love that 57
Thank you I might have to try a fix like that. I really need better doors anyway. Thanks for watching
Great project I just subscribed. looking forward to seeing your progress. I recently picked up a 59 Edsel Ranger it has the same rat hotel throughout the whole car. No keys & it hasn’t been moved for over 25 years . Same old story the husband was going to fix it up and he passed away before getting started on it bummer .
Thanks for watching and subscribing. Good luck on your build
You can’t beat the look of a 57 Chevy. I have a 2 door sport coupe that I almost recently sold but decided to keep it. Similar situation to yours here. Kind of rough but worth the time.
I agree, good luck with your project and thanks for watching
She's rough. Hard to believe trunk floor is so solid. Lot of work in this one. I live about 30 miles south of Troy, interested to see your progress.
She’s definitely rough. I have a Troy address but live in the Jack community just south of Zion Chapel School. Thanks for watching!
P B blaster , every where you can , you have a good starting place , take your time. Do it your way .
Just got some more today so I can start soaking everything down. Thanks for watching
Looking forward seeing the next video.
Thanks for watching
Excellent! Keep on posting videos on this project..........
Thanks for watching
Sweet car! Great that you are bringing it back to life. Good luck with it!
Thanks!
good luck I'll look forward to following the progress
Thanks for watching!
Yes I can honestly say I want to definitely see a part 2 I'm 56 and loved Classics since I was a kid 😊
Hopefully will get a part 2 out soon if the weather cooperates. Having to work on it in my yard. My dads shop is full and my old barn is also. Thanks for watching
@@deepsouthclassics9446when will you do another video of the 57
watching from memphis, keep it up man looking good
Thank you for watching!
Hello Sir you have a real nice rig.I hope you become a good time to fix it and a much finer time to ride it.God bless you and your family.Have a great time.
Thanks
Looking forward to future videos on the '57. We're neighbors (Andalusia, Al.) and I'm your newest subscriber.
Yea I’m only an hour from Andalusia. Have to go to David’s Catfish all along to get my fix. Thanks for watching!
I would put p b blaster in the cylinders and spray the yalves , they are probably stuck also . You may have to take the heads off to free everything up
Whatever I’ve got to do. After running the numbers I found out it’s a 300 horsepower 327 built between ‘62-‘64 so I definitely want to use it. Thanks for watching
A lot of work, but there is potential. 1st time watching from Ohio. Hope to see more
Thank you for watching!
Friend, Kenny, runs a motorcycle shop near Pell City; Raymond Horne ran a shop near Oxford/Anniston, Al. for many years; he passed away in 2015........good people, all.........
Yes sir that’s a couple hours north of me
Subscribed and liked looking forward to seeing how you get on with mate I'm from Bedford in yhe UK 🇬🇧
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
i like it. i have a 57 nomad i want to start fixing up in the spring. it's solid but needs a lot mechanically. been sitting a long time.
Nice, I love the Nomads
I am just starting to restore my 57 210 and I am looking forward to your updates. Next step for me is floors and rockers I think. Can't wait to see your updates!
Thank you for watching. Thankfully I don’t need rockers but definitely need some floor pans. Good luck on your project
I'm in the middle of re doing mine
Just subscribed - you got some good bones to work on man! Look forward to watching your progress!
Thanks for watching and subscribing
once you can get that front seat out., pull the door inner panel and soak the latch down from the inside. Once you get the latches out if their rusted and frozen you might consider soaking them in muratic acid, I had to do that on my 66 Chevelle that had set for 30 years, the acid did a great job rinse it in soapy water and the hit it with more penetrating oil.
I got it opened up now. Coming in tomorrows video. Thanks for watching!
Better get started on it 🤩
We have started but it’s gonna be a process. Thanks for watching
Love the look of that 57 , waiting to see what you do with the old girl next , keep up the good work mate 👍🇭🇲
Thank you for watching
What’s up brother? The ‘57 has.good prospects. The trunk is in great condition, under the hood will need some love, and the interior will need lots of love. First time viewer, just subbed and looking forward to seeing the car progress. Hope you’re lady is okay. Big Al from Connecticut.
Thanks for watching and subscribing
Love that paint 👍👍
Thanks
Congrats on starting, It takes time and perseverance, One bite at a time. I'm in my 6th year building my daily driver. Enjoy the journey!!
Thank you for watching and good luck on your build
What are you building
@@williamreilly8520
55 belair sedan. Restomod.
It's amazing how good the chrome looks despite the rest of the car! Looking forward to seeing it take shape!
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful find , nice car for sure , wishing you all the best with it.
Thanks for watching
watchin from virginia....got one myself rebuilding...best of luck!
Thanks for watching and good luck on your build
That engine looks pretty good after some clean up. Lubing the latch assembly will give it some assistance. Along with a stiff flat kick from inside, they are stubborn and sitting for a long time
That's nice real surviver.
Thank you!
Nice! I subscribed and want to watch you bring her to life.
Thanks for watching and subscribing
Cool start! Hopefully the frame is ok. You can work with the rest of it. Good luck! Thanks for sharing!
The frame is good just got to get the rest fixed, thanks for watching
@@deepsouthclassics9446 Cool. Can’t wait to see the build progress. Good luck!
check if the build plate on the firewall has a 1011 or a 1011a on it near the distributor. the Delrays had 1011a, the regular 210s had 1011 only.....only 25,000 delrays were made in 57, thats what mine is, made in Atlanta B57A six
originally sold in S.C.
Mine is 1011. I wish it was a Del-Ray but it’s alright anyway
Rust never sleeps
I hope we can start slowing it down on this one. Thanks for watching
Best of luck
Thank you!
In another lifetime I owned a '57 Chevy Sports Coupe with a 327 engine and a Turbo 400 transmission. It's one of many cars that I wish I hadn't gotten rid of. My current project is a '69 Firebird. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with your '57.
I understand that regret, my high school ride was a 1967 Camaro RS 327 with 4 speed. Have always regretted trading it in for a new truck. Good luck with your project and thanks for watching
I’m retired and the 1957 Chevy 2dr hard top has always been my bucket list dream car. Good luck on the build, and I’ll be watching you to cheer you on!
I am ready to see how you going to fix it up
Thanks for watching!
valve covers and intake can be cleaned up with oven cleaner with steel wool just make sure to wash it off with hot water and cloths washing powder before cleaning and after good luck.
Yea I plan to pull them off eventually for a good cleaning. Thanks for watching!
You sure this thing wasn't stored next to the titanic. The way it's rusted is mind boggling.
It’s possible
Cool ride brother ! Good luck !! 👍
Thanks for watching
you may want to put in a rear shock support bar that mounts across the frame as the thinner sheet metal may not like the shock pressure ....
I’ll check into that, thanks
Good luck with the car. I just sold one in similar condition.
Thank you!
Cool 57 😍👍🙂
Thank you!
@@deepsouthclassics9446 👍👍
Going to be interesting watching the progress of you working on it...
Subscribed so that I can follow along as you post more...
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Great car. Can’t wait to see it come together!
Thanks for watching!
The sticking door issue sucks.I have a 1957 4 door that has /had this problem.I sprayed soap and water at the latch mech. And went ape s##t on the handle.Kindof rough on the hand .Grab the handle and push and pull on it violently.If you have a big strong friend to do this that would help.
Friggin rats took the carb but at least they covered the hole.😄
Yea at least they done that 😂
Have a friend near Pell City Al. He owns a motorcycle shop......been to Alabama many times; Anniston & Oxford area.
Ok cool yea that’s about 2 hours north of me. Thanks for watching!
I think the old girl has some good bones.my suggestion would be to go over the entire car and make a list of the must have parts needed.then start slowly finding them in classifieds,junkyards,swap meets etc.since its not a restoration,used parts can save you lots of money.
That is my plan. We try to go to as many swap meets as we can. Thanks for watching
@@deepsouthclassics9446 check out the tri five show in tenn held by danchuc during the summer, it ain't that far for you and they do a sizable 55 - 57 swap meet.
I hope you make it look like an old hot rod, !! No Gaser
That will more than likely be the direction I take just so it will be more driver friendly. I like to drive my junk. Thanks for watching
Very cool
Thanks for watching
stuck door: oil up the latch with penetrating oil from inside or with window down. They can take a few minutes but will come free. Watch the mechanism in the channel when you push the button.
Yea I’ve been spraying it for a couple weeks now, hopefully it’ll free up soon. Thanks for watching
I lived in carbon Hill bama for a long time I miss that town only way to get a genuine classic is it go to the only two auto salvage yards or if you got lucky you can get a pretty decent one like this without a tree growing through the floorboards LOL nice 57 though
Thanks for watching! I think Carbon Hill is a good bit north of me if I’m remembering correctly. Yes I was glad to find this one for sure
@@deepsouthclassics9446 yeah carbon Hill is up in Walker county in between Jasper and Winfield
Ok yea I’m down south of Troy
@@deepsouthclassics9446 place that I've been able to find my classic Chevy trucks or any other in the junk yards that are actually still in reasonable shape with a decent price tag
Hire yourself a dry ice blaster to clean it all with, save you a buckle of time and it will do a amazing job, so I believe.
Thanks I haven’t heard of that process but will look into it
New to the channel! Cool video!!
Thanks for watching!
I would rather have a post car, weather it's a old dodge or 55 57 chevy.that will be a nice project.
I agree, thanks for watching!
Love it!!
Thanks for watching!
You can get someone that does dustless blasting to blasting the entire car. Then epoxy prime. Where you located? I'm in Rome Georgia.
I’m in Troy, AL. I used to work with my buddy in our paint and body shop for several years until I had back surgery followed by a massive heart attack. Put me out of commission doing that for a living anymore but we had a soda blaster and I can still use it. We done several old vehicles with it. Thanks for watching
@@deepsouthclassics9446 my nephew lives in Prattville, Alabama. I'm suppose to go see in him some time in the future. Maybe Troy is nearby and we could meet up and say hello. Would love to see anything old car related.
I’m a little over an hour south of Prattville but my dad has a shop full of vehicles down here if you would like to come check them out. I have a video of them on my channel as well
Bitchin 57. About same shape my 55 4 Dr I'm building back up. If you run across any brake hardware like adjusters,pins that wheel cylinders push against shoes and park brake parts I'll buy em from you or trade you any parts I got. I have some chrome ect. And misc to trade. Like a radio or ??
Check out Justin Wilkerson on Facebook. He lives in Kentucky but sells a lot of tri-five parts. I bought a lot of stuff from him a couple months ago at a swap meet. Thanks for watching and good luck on your project
@@deepsouthclassics9446 thank you.
Watching from Ireland . Now that it's down to the bare rust would it be a good idea to strip out the body and soda blast it ?
We may do that eventually. My main priority is to try and get it running so I can move it around. My buddy has a soda blaster that I could use. Thanks for watching!
Where in the deep south are you located; I'm in S.C..........Thanks!
I’m in L.A. (lower Alabama)
Is it a 210? Because it does have the side molding’s holes ?
Yes it’s a 210. They had the side molding just didn’t have the aluminum insert
Pull the door panel off so you can get to the mechanism to open it.
Its basically off so I’ve been spraying it with a penetrating spray hoping it will free up. Thanks for watching
Looks like it had Bel-Air trim
It’s a 210 which had similar side trim. Thanks for watching
I bought a 54 150 2dr last summer worse than yours. The rats had more stuff than your rats.Mine had a 1968 tag and registrations back to 1962.Once I got the doors to open.I found the orig. Title in the glovebox in 4 inches of rat stuff.The family that had it had been looking for the title 20 yrs. Or more.The rats only took one bite out of it.😄
That’s awesome, I love that body style as well. Good luck with your project
Man, the mice and rats got to that one.
That car should BUFF OUT. 😎😎😎😎
Maybe with a lot of elbow grease!
👍 👍
it's worth restoring it being a 2 door.
We gonna do what we can to preserve it and get it back on the road
thats a 62 327 out of full size car with manual trans, probably impala
Yea that’s what I found out from running the numbers, thanks
I hope you don't make a gasser out of it just my opinion
How many rat powers do you recon for one horsepower? You might want those rats to stay in there
I guess thats a real rat motor ya got there 4 sure. The squirrel and mice condos are probably in the trunk.
That’s right 😂
if you can buy one piece floor from real deal steel save a lot of work watch dd speed shop plenty video on his sight did one on my try fives was way easier than I thought me have 4 try fives alll projects 2 door 150 wagon, 4 door 210 57 , 2 . 56 2 door post love these trips fives and so simple to work on and there soooooo kooooooool. keep up the project watch plenty car videos keep u motivate go classic cars
I watch all of DD Speed shops videos. He definitely knows how to do it. Thanks for watching
You have your work cut out
Yep
This is one of the last. It will be a great project, and I'm hoping to see it progress. This outta be fun. That manifold probably added at least 10 hp, and with all that weight reduction action, the finned valve covers that's not factry now. gonna need a blanket for that seat.😇
Yea she needs a lot of work but we hoping to bring it back around. Thanks for watching!
Get in from the other side and spay the drive side door
Rough shape lots of rust
OMG. When you power wash the rust off of it there wont' be any care left.
That’s why I’m not gonna pressure wash it 😂 thanks for watching
@@deepsouthclassics9446 I'm just joking. I restored a 2DHT. It's a lot of fun to do. Good luck with it.
Cool find. They still out there. Sawsall the latch pin off. Get a new pin. Check out WD detailing latest video. They had the same problem.. don't think I'd find new doors and trunk lid. I'd pore clear resin in the door holes. That's a special pateena I ever saw. Truck lid weight reduction. 1972. My old Mercedes 508 is 1972. Great number. TRex. David Bowie . Great find. I just subbed . Have a good one. Good luck..ps I owned a convertible 57 when I was 24 in England. Always luv um. Check out Don's hot rod. Nice guy. Adios. .
Thank you I will check them out and see what they done. I do like the patina myself and had thought about just patching those holes with something for now at least and save that money for getting it drivable. Thanks for watching!
@@deepsouthclassics9446 Ye Man. Needs to be revving up. The body's perfect. Pull your rocker shaft. You don't bend the push rods. Don't think I'd even try cranking it. I'd pull it and strip it. Clean and reassemble. I just pulled a 30 year garage find in Sweden. Engine Locked solid after weeks of soaking. Pulled the heads. Two cylinders locked up. Need to pull the engine. Yours didn't have a carb. Moisture got in. Check out. This and that garage. He just built one. But you can save the engine. Check out trans while it's out. Nice bit of nostalgia. Have a good one. 👍 need a few buddy around for the pull. Adios
