We will start with the exterior of this Bel Air. The body on it is
all rock solid and arrow straight down the sides. We can see the
panel fit is all stunning as well along with the doors, hood, and
trunk all having a great fit with the gaps being even and
symmetrical. All the glass is like new, and you'll notice all new
weather stripping and seals. The body is showcased by the Tropical
Turquoise paint that was redone in base coat clear coat. Countless
hours were spent blocking this car and then the same meticulous
approach was taken with wet sanding, buffing, and polishing it to
the mirror finish you see today. It's accented by all new chrome
and stainless. All the side stainless flows beautifully from front
to rear and both bumpers have an excellent fit. It also has the
correct gold emblems and grill along with the dual antennas our
back. A new top was installed at the time of the restoration, and
it is a power top that goes up and down with ease. Also, it has the
new white boot for when the top is down. To finish off the stance
it's sitting on the stock style steel wheels that are painted body
color and finished out with new hub caps and Wide White Tires.
Next, we will look at the interior of this Convertible. On the
inside it was all redone new as well. It's done in the two-tone
Ivory and Blue color combo that provides a beautiful compliment to
the exterior. It has the front and rear bench seat with all the
trim being beautiful. New Door panels were installed as well, and
it comes with the Power Windows. Looking at the dahs we can see
that all the metal is amazing, and the paint has a beautiful
finish. All the trim is new and has a great fit. The gauges are all
working as they should and are equally impressive. The rest of the
interior trim was installed new as well and it has had new visors
installed. All new carpet and seal plates were installed as well.
Inside the trunk is all beautiful, the metal is rock solid and it's
painted out to match the exterior while being dressed with a trunk
mat.
Finally, we will get to the heartbeat of this Chevrolet. Under the
hood it's powered by a 350 V8 engine. This 350 is custom set up
with the front oiler intake and the valve covers to look like a
283. The engine details is stunning on this '57 down to the air
cleaner and factory style hoses. We can also see the inner fenders
are beautiful along with the firewall that has been detailed out
with the factory style markings it would have had when new. Now
this Bel Air comes upgraded with Power Steering and Power Brakes
with disc up front and drums out back with all new wheel cylinders
and shoes. When we look under this Chevrolet you are sure to be
amazed. The eye to detail for this restoration is stunning. The
floor pans have all been polished out just like the rest of the
exterior. We can see the frame has been done in black and has the
factory style markings on it. All new body bushings and bushings
through the front end were installed. Along with new springs front
and rear and new shocks. For exhaust it has manifolds with all new
pipes and mufflers. The 350 V8 engine runs the through the 700R4
Overdrive Transmission and the stock style rear end. This is a
stunning rotisserie restoration that is sure to turn heads
