1957 Chevrolet


How about some old iron?

Uber cool.....

I think a small turbo on that 57 would be cool. Just big enough to get it moving at stoplights and have plenty of trailer towing power.

Wonder what they want for it?

Just need old Clifford research under the hood. Wake that old 6 up a little bit.

You have to seal it up under boost.

We've got a customer that just bought a 57 Chevy truck. I've not seen it yet, it's still got a 6 in it and he wants to wake it up a little bit, we'll most likely make a gear change... He's also talking about front discs..

Rusty - you ever been down to Decatur and tour the Ligenfelter shop?

I think you'd quite enjoy that!

I have not. I should go. I enjoy walking around the Auburn, Cord and Duesenberg Museum.

Desperately want to visit the A, C, and D museum. Just not easy to get to when visiting the wife's family in Decatur and Bluffton.

It's definitely a must.

Boss said it was time to get his boat outta the shop, so I had to do some rearranging today. Involved starting some cars that haven't run since before winter. Had 2 dead batteries and 1 Corvette without brakes....

Don't get no cooler than a 396 Camaro

Well.....a "COPO" maybe.....

What's done to the 2 Jeeps. I bet that truck flys with the 454.

ARE. YOU. HIRING.?

 

[ChristianPatriot]

Do I spy a '49-'54 Chevy pickup in the top left of the first picture?

 

[ChristianPatriot]

Well.....a "COPO" maybe.....

Or Yenko...

Just work... Really can't stand looking at them, breaks my heart to see them sitting. Some of them haven't left the building in a couple years.. All of them leak everywhere, seals dried up. And when don't you hate me?

That one is a turd. It's "pretty" and pretty damn slow. 325 horse, power windows, AC, she's loaded.

I'd actually prefer to have a z28 sporting the 302. Two completely different animals, but the 302 suits me better. What I wouldn't give to take one around a road course . And I don't even like Camaros...

The red one is a 92, it's got a small lift and tires, winch, lockers. Not over the top, but perfectly done. The other one is a Scrambler, it's been sitting as long as I can remember, I've never heard it run. It's got a 350 Chevy, lift and tires. Prolly been 15 years since its driven, shame too as it's completely rust free and still sporting OG paint.

The elky does fly. The best driver out of the bunch.

Not hiring, it's only a couple of us and wouldn't be enough work to go around, unless you can sweep and scrub floors.... I can barely keep up anymore.
