Another bright idea to do with the car. Don't do anything to it. Give it to Cody as he seems to be your top body man and gets stuff done while you and hillbilly make videos and travel everywhere. The stuff you do for Hillbilly is cool and all, but Cody is just as deserving.

Looking at the “ 57 “ knowing the journey it’s been on for 65 years I think it’s in the perfect place to come back to life. It deserves the care and restoration that your shop could give her. I know you’d make it right and bring it back to its iconic glory. She’s just begging to have the attention of a top professional as you. It would be tugging on the heartstrings of all the viewers lucky enough to grow up with that car as they see you do your magic.

I vote to restore the car. Whatever you do to it, I think the silver/black paint scheme should be retained. I would definitely follow a restoration series on this.

@MaryB-ps8lg Жыл бұрын

Of all the cars I have had over the years, the '57 Chevy was my favorite. It definitely needs to be restored, not a car show restoration but make it look like a nice family car restoration. It needs to be painted - not a Robbie Layton eagle-eye paint job - but better than a Maaco job. My car was turquoise blue with white fins. It also needs air conditioning which it didn't have back then.

Robbie, If I had the resources you have I would completely restore the entire car, while keeping the modern upgrades. Start by stripping it down to the frame, restore the frame and work your way up from there. Replace the floors, new interior (headliner, seats, carpeting), new trunk, install a jack and spare wheel/tire, new sheet metal as needed. Making it perfect will take time, but it's certainly a worthy endeavor.
