Projects 1957 Corvette M/SP Project

I'm really digging your car and build. My dad and I are talking about turning our car into a gasser.

 

Baron, I'm picturing your car in Inca Silver. Check out these pipes too!

 

Here's Brett's vette, maybe you can fix it up! Haha

 

Pure sex!

 

Crazy Grandpa's is one of my favorites. GM only sold 65 in this color.


Have your brother leave the car with me for a few weeks, and I'll fix it right up....

 

Damn bitchin build. Can't wait to see more.

 

"DIAMOND in the ROUGH"....Can't wait to see "the Baron Touch"....internally and externally !! Also...."can't wait for a ride" in your "GEM" !! Keep up your meticulous... "GREAT WORK" !!

 

note to Baron, give old guy from NH a ride when it is done? I had a 340 hp '62, a 425 hp '65 coupe and a 340 hp '66 roadster. Always had a soft spot for early corvettes. It is just plain wicked looking!

 

Thanks Scott. Stop by the shop when you get a chance.

Hi John. Sure thing my friend. I have a number of friends who refuse to get in my car(s)to go for a ride with me.

 

lookin good B ... one day i will get mine down hopefully been foolin a little with the olds this summer

 

good lookin vettes in this thread

 

When are you going to learn to grow up?
When you do, please tell me.

Looks great, Buddy!

 

grow up? No sir, he is one of us "seasoned" guys who may grow old chronologically but will always be a kid at heart, especially regarding hot rods. Hell I am no different mentally than seventh grade study hall with an Honest Charley catalog inside my text book. And Lord willing, it will be that way until the end.

 

Lol, and I thought I was the only one.

 

No growing up here. No time for that. Spent the last two days adjusting the doors and fiberglass/bondo work setting all the gaps ,adding where needed and grinding away where tight. Nice thing about working with glass is you don't have to weld the edges of the doors after grinding. Bad thing about working with glass is the dust and itchy as a son-of-a-gun. This is probably the least fun part of the build and it will be nice to put this behind me.

 

Man I love that profile!

 

Car is looking good.

Wonder what I could do with mine?? Mom bought in 1960 - has 42k miles on it now...

I don't care for the numbers-matching frenzy, but that car appears to be a solid candidate for NCRS survivor series. I would not change a thing.

 

41FORDVERT. Put more miles on it! Beautiful car!

 

I would not touch a thing with it either.

 

Just changing wheels and tires would give it a different look without major work. Maybe a pair of glasspacks to make it sound better too. Depends on how far you want to take the car.

 

Picking away at the body work...

 

what a cool project.. its great!!!!

 

Thanks guys for talking me into this. I have decided to go this route instead of the injection for a couple of reasons. I’ll buy a couple of Holley’s and this will be good to go. Picking up a Vertex mag from a friend this week-end. Still getting the body ready for primer.

 

Very nice.

Baron,
Looks like your making good progress.
My 57 is at the body shop, almost done with block sanding.
Picked up a set of SW Wings gauges and some other stuff.
Keep on truckin.

 

I really dig that tunnel ram, that big ol plenum is what it's about in the looking old department ! Let the trumpets sound and move forward to Badassville

 

great stance and profile. you have captured the 60's street/strip look perfectly.

 

love this vette! my fav year right after 6:-----glad u are doing it correctly ----cant wait to hear it fire up
