I'm the dad that got the benefit of both your shop and the machine shop's attention to detail. Thanks to you and my fantastic family I will have a memory that will last forever. I can't believe you and my son-in-law and daughter accomplished this in such a short time. Thanks to all who were involved!!!
It was an honor to be part of the whole thing. One of my favorite cars. Thank you very much for taking the time to comment and watch this video! We appreciate you and your family very much! Glad you were able to enjoy it again!
I'm glade you get to enjoy this special machine and take it out to meet people. I'm shire every where you go you get thumbs up or people want to have a conversation about your car.
Happy for you. My dad had the exact car in Canada. Scrapped it for $200 because he couldn't find brakes for it. I was 5 yrs old he still talks about it today at 85 yrs old.
Great job! We appreciate all you did and working with our timeline! Seeing how happy my dad was these past few days was so worth it. He had to get in and tinker around with everything and has watched this video several times with a huge grin on his face. My mom was so emotional...she loved having all of us together and seeing how happy it made my dad. We can't wait to put it in a few car shows and just enjoy some riding around in it!
Awesome! I'm glad we could be part of it! Thank you very much for the opportunity to work on it! It is definitely an awesome care with a lot of history! Glad it's back on the road!
Wow! You guys did an awesome job on my brother’s car! It was so awesome to get to ride in it again and see him behind the wheel. I was 15 years old when I first drove it and my brother taught me how to drive that three on the tree! I’m now 65 years old. Seeing his face light up was priceless. Thank you for getting the car ready so quick so our family could share the memories together.
Thank you very much for watching and commenting! We appreciate the opportunity and this was one of our favorite cars! Glad you could all enjoy the car once again!
Great story! Our 57's been in the family since 1985, currently going thru a second makeover. Part of the family, all our kids were raised with it being around.
My friend has the exact same car! A black '57 Belair 2dr hardtop that he hasn't driven since march of 1968 when he blew up the bored and stroked Pontiac mill. His kids are working on it now, bringing it back, too.
Incredible video Brothers. Thanks for sharing. Glad you got your dad's car. She's a beauty. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible night. Much love and RESPECT
Thats black on black. The money shot. That car never lost its value .broken down its worth over 10 grand. Matching block too? Good car. I was very impressed
I use a stamp punch to number the caps on the rods that way if your going to reuse the rods all of them will be labeled. If you can find the plastic pop bottle crates that the pop trucks use they work great to keep the pistons in their position without them being mixed up
Outstanding and impressive work of art, congratulations to each and everyone that one way or another made it possible, blessings to all of you gentleman, enjoy your toy for years to come and then make sure that the next person do the same, those toys were made to outlast us., from the endless summer paradise Puerto Rico Jesus Torres.

From 1964 to 1972 my father had a 1957 Chevy Bel Air 4-door . Same color as that one with a black and silver interior. Engine was a 250 Ci. 6 . With a powerglide on many transmission . He had two outside mirrors located on the front fenders
Hey Whoa there buddy am originally from Guam And I own a Z28 Camaro, My brother owns a 68 Camaro and my other brother owns a 68 Dodge Super Bee. One of my cousins owns a 68 Chevrolet Chevelle. So we do have our share of muscle cars. We even had a drag strip on Guam. HOOAH!!
@@IronHorseGarage it is because if it wasn’t then it wouldn’t be and we know that isn’t the case so it must be therefore we can deduce that the facts are the facts and that is that!!!
What a nice collection of spider nests hanging off the pressure plate on the transmission I have never seen so many like that must be a California thing or something because we don't see that in the mid west.
That tin round piece that goes on the crank in front of the timing gear is for oiling it's supposed to fling the oil to the top timing gear and to keep the chain lubed up Chrysler use the same set up on their engines too.
The way I feel about classic car's if there all together and not missing multiple parts keep it the way it is. If the car is rusted out and missing many parts I don't feel bad making it a Kustom.
❤ when you folks are tired of that old car that happens to be my favorite car on the planet. Let me know if you want to get rid of it. I sure would love them.
Use marvel mystery oil in fuel helps lubricant everything Valvoline vr1 30 for breaking in high zinc content After breaking in use Valvoline 30 summer 10 30 winter This is oil and marvel mystery oil we recommend our machine shop Has been building engines since 1938 Awesome video so glad some idiot didn't install LS bullshit engine The 283 perfect engine or 327 Just upgrade brakes willwood conversion Thanks for posting this 😊
THROW AWAY THE MOTOR!?!?!?! Are you kidding me… this has to be a NUMBERS MATCHING CAR if dad bought it from the original owners in 1965!!! Dang!!! YOU DON’T STAND A CAMSHAFT ON IT’S END MAN!!! If it falls over, it’ll break in half!!! SAME THING WITH THE CRANK MAN!!!! SHIT!!! Fun video to watch and love the machine shop guys… old school!
My dad bought this car from his cousin who bought it brand new off the lot in 1957. It is the original motor with matching numbers. I remember riding around in it as a little girl and now to own it, its a great feeling. It was awesome to do this for my parents. We will cherish it forever.
At time stamp 4:31 the gentleman stated that you could get the "Black Widow" with a four speed. The first four speeds were dealer installed ion 1958 and factory installed in 1959. The only option in 1957 was a three on the tree for 1957 Fuel Injected. This of course does not take into account customer installed four speeds,@@IronHorseGarage

Very cool restoration.

Apparently. Thanks for watching.
Hi Vo timing chain,cool 😎
Yep!
I like the Dart, we have one just like it.
Thanks for watching!
excellent
Thank you very much!
Many instructions to remember
Absolutely. Thanks for watching!
That radiator and a gm 7 blade fan would keep engine cooler even with original radiator
The original needs a new core. Which would cost 5 times the amount of an aluminum radiator. They plan on rebuilding the original eventually.
Awesome
Thank you very much!
That was a real steel car.If it ain't steel it ain't real Other than the corvette
There you go!
Thise was real cars not that we have today.Only junk today.Thiy was simple but sooo beautiful indeeed
Absolutely! Thank you for watching!
Why does everybody assume black oil is bad? The oil absorbs all the stuff out of the motor that's why you have to change it.
Which makes it bad.
Me encanta ver la familia unida él chévere 57 está precioso pero la familia superó la belleza del Chevy que Dios bendiga siempre a ésa familia.
Muchas gracias!
That tin round piece that goes on the crank in front of the timing gear is for oiling it's supposed to fling the oil to the top timing gear and to keep the chain lubed up Chrysler use the same set up on their engines too.
Awesome. Thanks for watching!
The lifters are suppose to be high in the center to spin around on the cam lobe to keep from them going flat and the cam...
My first car was a 57 and so is my last.
Very cool! Thanks for watching!
I have a 1957 two door Hardtop Black with a Ls engine in it this is my second one, my first car was the same car i have now, less the 283 engine.
Very cool! We appreciate you watching!
Those oil filters used to use toilet paper rolls
Yes they did, this car had the toilet paper filter.
Cool.
Thank you for watching!
Grandpa wasnt hanging around was he? 🏁💨🏎
He wanted to drive!
The way I feel about classic car's if there all together and not missing multiple parts keep it the way it is. If the car is rusted out and missing many parts I don't feel bad making it a Kustom.
That's a good general rule that I also go by. 4 doors are also in that category. Thanks for watching!
❤ when you folks are tired of that old car that happens to be my favorite car on the planet. Let me know if you want to get rid of it. I sure would love them.
Hahaha, thank you very much for watching!
야! 멋지다~아

Use marvel mystery oil in fuel helps lubricant everything
Valvoline vr1 30 for breaking in high zinc content
After breaking in use Valvoline 30 summer 10 30 winter
This is oil and marvel mystery oil we recommend our machine shop
Has been building engines since 1938
Awesome video so glad some idiot didn't install LS bullshit engine
The 283 perfect engine or 327
Just upgrade brakes willwood conversion
Thanks for posting this 😊
Thank you for sharing the information! We appreciate you watching!
Machine shop has parts everywhere how does he keep track of every part
When you've been doing it as long as him it's probably easier than you think!
I would work in that, if I would live in the country.
Thank you for watching!
It is a shame we are loosing guys with all this knowledge
Yes it is. We appreciate you watching.
THROW AWAY THE MOTOR!?!?!?! Are you kidding me… this has to be a NUMBERS MATCHING CAR if dad bought it from the original owners in 1965!!! Dang!!! YOU DON’T STAND A CAMSHAFT ON IT’S END MAN!!!

Some motors come that way
Yes sir.
64 Mustang was a 260, not a 289.
It's a knuckle busting job
Aren't they all...

1957 Chevrolet Bel Air
Absolutely!
Chrysler was the first American made car to have one HP per Cu In it was in the 1956 300B the engine was 354 ci in hemi and it had 355 hp
Thank you for the info!
I thought that your could only get a 4 speed on a late model year 57 Corvette. You couldn't get the 4 speed in a regular sedan until 58.
Not 100 percent sure. This one is a 3 speed on the column.
At time stamp 4:31 the gentleman stated that you could get the "Black Widow" with a four speed. The first four speeds were dealer installed ion 1958 and factory installed in 1959. The only option in 1957 was a three on the tree for 1957 Fuel Injected. This of course does not take into account customer installed four speeds,@@IronHorseGarage
We appreciate the info. I'll have to do some more research on that. Thanks for watching.
Why didn't you start it before you tore it apart.
We did.
That guy is nuts a dished lifter is no good good lifters are flat
Exactly.
You have to steam clean yourself before you go home
Hahaha, yeah!
Easier to purchase new motor
Yep, but not as cool.
Maybe easier...but not original. Lose value of the car. We get so many compliments on keeping it original
Serviço PORCO Nem lavou o tanque de combustivel n. limpou o carro por baixo kk .
