Thread: '57 Chevy gasser build

Bob, You are dead on about the pipe bumpers with the end caps on 'em... and colored plexi windows would be a "must"!

That model picture was just to show the scoop I referred to ...not the W-block motors.

I guess a lot of my ideas are not the first things people remember... but I like to see the unexpected choices, not the ones most people would choose.

You are right about it being a sixties concept, but by '65-'66 the setups were were evolving to wrinklewalls, automatics, and the cars got lower ...so I'd go early sixties. ...(but sadly it's not my car.) {:-(

I did start a car in my youth that would have been similar. I boiught a '55 210 post, and put a 3/4 ton rear under it, which was popular then. I also bought a 'glass one piece front... but when I found a '57 Bel Air 2-door H.T. for $75 ...does that tell you how long ago? ...I abandoned the '55, and sold it.
