    Welcome to CHR Joe!!! I don't even like chebbies, but I have to say that 57 is a fine looking ride!!!! Great color, too!!!

    As for the age thing, no big deal. Just means you have a lot of other things out of the way and can settle in for some Hot Rodding fun!!!!

    By the way, the car isn't near as cute as the kids!!!!! Do what you can to keep them involved, Lord knows there are a lot worse things then Hot Rodding they could choose to become involved in as they grow up!!!!!

    Cool! I like it! My 1st car was a '57 back in '67, and I just sold my 5th '57 chevy wagon that I put power disk, modern steering with a custom T&T column, AC, and 406 with TPI , and with a 700r4. A cruiser.

    I own and rod anything! I have a Ford with a Chrysler motor, Chevy tranny, and a 9" rear end!
    I also have a Ford with a Buick motor, soon to be changed to a Chevy,
    A-Ford with a Ford motor,
    2-Chevies with Chevy motors,
    A-ACVW Trike
    sold my International with a dodge motor.

    I like cars and trucks!

    Joe you did great. Nice looking car with some very solid mechanicals. I love it that you are honest enough to admit you are new to this, that makes it even cooler as the enthusiasm is always highest that first time.

    Beautiful little '57. Hope you and the family enjoy it a lot.
