Another nice piece Rob 🤘
Let the haters hate , colour is a personal choice, i think hotbox ertl looks killer mate, great work as always
Funky
Thanks mate!
I hate haters... O wait. I guess I'm a self hater
Black is a classic hotrod color. Looks good!
My Dad had a '57 when I was a kid.
Years later, a buddy bought one. Very worn with a horrid metallic brown paint, and interior done in shiny orange vinyl with gold flecks - looked right out of a 1950s diner!
I rewired the car. Pretty simple in those days.
Five Sevens are as classic as it gets.
Good job on this custom resto! Love that motor! 😉
I just recently started watching videos of restoring or customizing toy cars and it brings back memories as i still have over a few hundred of them that my son still has today
This is one wicked customization! The black paint and the ready-to-pounce stance make this car an absolute apex predator. Great job!
It shines that much with no clearcoat . Amazing !
Great job!!!
Great job from shabby to fab.... We all have our own styles and that's what makes these customs unique....👍
Beautiful Custom!! When i was a kid .My neighbor had a Aqua blue 57 2 door post car with a 327 V8 and Keystone Classic rims. He used to drive it to school in the late 70s. One day he took me for a ride in it knowing i loved the car. For a kid getting to ride in a hot rod for the first time it was amazing. And to this day i remember that,and it sparked my long love and hobby collecting, fixing up real muscle cars for over 30 years now. Got 2 cool ones in my Garage still.😉
Am I the Only one Who find this so relaxing? Great job man, you do it great, cheers from México
I find these videos relaxing and kinda therapeutic. Enjoy the restorations as well.
However, though the car looks great, I thought it could have used some white or silver racing stripes. Do you ever incorporate stripes or anything similar?
I had a yellow one of these as a kid that my grandmother gave me as part of a huge set that I would play with whenever I was at her house. I wish I still had them all, but this one was one for my absolute favorites.
Amazing beautiful work! Black was perfect choice!
This one has been sitting on my list to watch for awhile. Better late than never!
Great looking old Chevy, best years ever, the 55-57!!!
Another great job rob keep on going, 57 Chev is the car I sat drawing in my school books as a kid I'd have one in a hart beat.
Great little car, the wheels, engine and paint are perfect.
Perfect choice in paint love the black thats goin to be BADASS!
Chevy is my favourite car. Didn't think I would like the black but it looks great.
Nice 57' chevy rob, i agree you made the right choice -- black on black!!
This is exciting, a non Matchbox and the first ERTL I seen anybody do.
Go over to Danny's he does some of everything
I was just about to say the same
Its an Iconic car and you cant go wrong with it, its all down to personal taste looks awesome :)
Beautful custom 57chevy excellent restoration Very cool 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I have that same car my dad got it for me back in the 70's and it was yellow ...car looks real good.
Sweet build, great idea combining different cars.
Looks awesome! How can anyone give this a thumbs down! Great restoration!...Bill

So just remember enjoy your collection because that's what it is your collection. There is more of us than them ,so keep up the great work. Looking forward to seeing your next video.
Haha the car was speaking to you... "Help me! Help me!" Like a wounded soldier in a field hospital
Wow; amazing Job ;black color is the right color and 57 Chevy my favorite car to.)
Beautiful job! The big block engine and chrome wheels make it look like a mean drag racing machine like I remember in the late 60's. You are very talented!
Awesome video cant go wrong with a 57 chevy and my grandma has a 56 chevy and im restoring it for her
That giant hemi in a '57 Shoebox looks awesome!! LOVE the murdered-out look on that car!
Dont limit yourself to one brand, im sure no one will really care, nice hot rod .
Agreed theres no reason he should limit himself he can do more creative projects and challenge himself
Rob, everyone has their own ideas about what these cars should look like. All good ideas I'm sure, but I come here to see YOUR ideas. I subbed here because I like your vision and style. The 50s Chevys were one of the most modified cars around. Every modification you can imagine, someone did. Some had chrome, some didn't. Some were gaudy colors and some were more subdued. I like your version. Very classy hot rod.
Awesome resto. Thumbs up to the green wall tyres and the blower. Well done👍
Excellent work, great job.
Beauty! That gloss black is hot! I love the wheels! Nice job!
Gloss black. Excellent color choice👌
I had total faith that you could bring that 57 Chevy back to life !
Very nice looking hot rod ! 🍻
This turned out amazing!🙂
This car is so American you can hear a bald eagle screech in the background on this vid. Great job, Rob! -David
Wow, what an absolute stunner 🚘
35! You're never too old to love hot rods!
I have to say I’m a little disappointed that you didn’t use some putty or something to fill in the hood area. BUT I will say this looks absolutely perfect. Great job again sir.
Fine work, no chrome on custom gasses. The show is on the track on a pink slips chase.
Sweet paint job, looks awesome as always.
Just a master piece. i'm happy with that!
Outstanding! I really like the way that turned out.
Beastmode enabled!! This thing looks awesome. Insanely offensive big block bulging out of the bay with the black paint deep and clear. Wheels do it justice too. Nice one Rob 👍
Love this 57. I have 2 but not this Beautiful. Great Job. 👍
You obviously never had a 57 Chevy, as you painted the back up lights (reverse lamps) red, they were clear, and left the tail lights body colour black. That being said it's a great custom, very nicely done.
Absolutely fantastic.
Nice build! I would have taped it off and painted the grill, back bumper and side mouldings in matte black for contrast. That gloss and matte combo looks so good together.
YES! Hoping for 3 tsp full! 💨 Great job!
I wish I loved this as much as you. I personally would have crimes the bumpers and grill.
Hi Rob,what a model,I was thinking white but after I thought black,for the era of car 57,the wheels and the engine it looks smart,top work.
Love it, black was a great choice.
I can tell u havent even got it painted yet thats goin to be gorgeous
OK first off looks like a movie card can’t remember which one second off absolutely killed it looks awesome🔥🔥🔥🔥‼️
As a hotrod ratrod guy myself do u man that's what it's all about love hotrods got 70 oldsmobile cutless and 55 chevy belair wagon and am building a mini ratrod but yea anyway looks awesome man and on such a small scale nice job
Great work, nice choice of color
Love the choice of color
Damn Mr. Rob that Chevy came out bad ass I love it. Keep up the good work homie. 👍🏽
Excellent mate, welcome to the dark side of diecast! Interesting to see the interior as mine didn't have any of that. Looks awesome!
Great looking 57, the wheels are spot on , that engine looks sweet .
And its nice of viney the vice to make an appearance.
Looks great Rob .... l woukd've pushed the engine back a bit and maybe painted the side pieces in silver but that's just a personal choice. It certainly looks mean in that murdered out black , top job 👍
I knew you could do it, Magic Man.
I love the look of your 57 Chevy I owned one and it was black
Gorgeous! I just love it!
ABSOLUTELY GLORIOUS
AND YESSSS IT NEEDED TO BE BLACK:)
Such a great build! i had that same model in original yellow growing up, now i regret wearing it out!
A True Black Beauty ! Thanks, from Manila
Turned out fantastic 👍
Dammit Rob! You straight up murdered that '57, thankfully!! Gloss black is certainly better than whateverthehell was on that casting, by far. ERTL was once a great model maker and I have many, many of them in....from 1/18 scale all the way to the little 1/64 scale that you have resurrected in this video. If I ever get around to organizing my storage unit, you may find a 1/18 scale Boss Mustang coming across the pond to you.
😍🥰🤩
Smile on my face. Get crazy I love it!!
Awesome job,,. Rob you 'da man 😁 mate thanks for another great video keep'em coming and Howdy from Texas
Now you know why us Americans get hooked on the big heavy steel cars. Now you just got to learn how to paint some flames.
Right on Rob, I am about 35 yrs older than you and for me it would have been red/white stripe. But what's in a colour. Your usual good job. Thanks mate.
Matchbox and Non Matchbox Garage. We do things right! Love the shiny shiny car. Engine is never too big. Need some dark sunglasses and off you go!😎👍🏻👍🏻Should check out Danny's Diecast Disasters version of this model, dare to compare!
I don't know if anyone else already mentioned this or not but, you can use brake fluid to remove the paint from the windscreen. For some reason it's tough on the paint but will not harm the plastic. Also, if you read the bottle it should say something about not getting it on painted surfaces of your vehicle for this very reason. Just either use a cotton swab or your fingers and rub the brake fluid on the plastic and the paint will come right of. May need to do a little extra rubbing depending on the amount of paint on the part. Then simply clean it up with some sort of de-greaser, like Dawn dish washing liquid, and your good as gold.
Another great resto rob and i like the black finish would love to have the real version of the car 👍
As a professional restoration person, never been a fan of the mid 50's. Done a blue million of them in the past. Great job!!+
Very nice. Perfect style! I found one of these lovely castings too, also missing the hood. I turned it into a dirt track racer using M2 engine and wheels.
Excellent work as always 👍 And colour combo with black on black is always nice.
The lines on the side should be chrome too
Looking fresh :) Nice one Rob
Good! But, the chrome in the bumpers and handles? Just give it a llittle bit of details.
Nicely done!
57 Chevy looks ok , but I would have put some paint or left clean the bumpers back and front as chrome is one of the main things about 1950s cars .
Nice Gasser, whoops, showing my age. Exactly the type of thing I would have done, with some silver on the grill and bumpers. At least it's not painted brown as I did with my Hot Wheels '57 Chevy Nomad. A silk purse out of a sows ear has been created.
Lol. Just watched it again, so good!
AWESOME AS HELL ROB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love this build
Its really good to see you branch out buddy. Was beginning to think that you were becoming a "matchbox snob"lmao.Kidding . Theres a whole BIG world of diecast to explore and customize and restore. Take a big bite and enjoy.Thats what im doing. Great fun. The goofy tampoed hot wheels real riders are a great source of good wheels. I use them all the time.
A lot of the guys when I was in high school in the late 1950s had these in either bright blue or candy apple red.
Brilliant! Very nice.
Excellent job
very nice job black suits the car very well
That looks awesome..
Nice work Rob look great Brian Thailand
Hey man , I'm not surprised of the color or the great choice of wheels for this one I love the engine . What a great gob . I think it's a chevuar
Murdered. LOVED IT!
I agree with many before me that at least you should have kept the chrome trim ;)
beautiful, beautiful 👍
