1957 Chevrolet Bel Air/150/210 Description
1957 CHEVY PRO TOURING
What I have here is a completely RUST FREE 57 CHEVY 210 BEL AIR.
When I started on this project first thing I did was chemically dipped every thing to see what I had to work with, I mean every part from frame up! I could see that I had to replace the common rust issues on these cars, like quarters, front floors, trans hump, trunk sectioned. As the project started coming together I removed the pinch welds at the bottom of car it seems like they always get bent up over the years. Then hand made a new firewall as to fit the big block and make it so it looks factory. The inner front fenders I also spent time on louvering them as to let some air flow better. Custom 4 link, mini tubbed also channeled the custom cross member as to run the exhaust thru it. The quarters that were done I did with GM panels from another 57 car that I had to remove from. Did most metal work with GM METAL. I documented over 300 hrs in metal work alone.
Once metal work was done every part of chassis,rear end, bumper brackets, E brake bracket and what ever else I thought could use it I powder coated satin black.
