Custom 57 Chevy

Although I'm not a big fan of the car, she sure is a hard worker!
( looks like nice work )

 

I have to say the mods don't make it look better IMHO ........................ I don't love it!

 

Throughout the entire video, all I could focus on was why does she only have dust on her left ****.

 

Well that’s special. She has skills

 

She has skills but she’s special

 

Looks like a lot of work to make a car look worse.

 

Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should. Compared to men ladies usually have good taste in colors and color matching. Not in this case though. The asymmetrical lines on the car are another no go. The 57 Chevy in my humble opinion other than the roofs being about 2 1/2” too tall are perfect. She worked her *** off to set design back 60 years.
She did have some slick ideas though like the slide in rear windows.

 

Wow…that’s lots of work to ruin a 57.

 

I love the lines of a 57 Chev. 20 years ago I couldn't afford one, so I built the local version (my avatar, a '62 Holden wagon).

For me, a great custom is one that pushes the boundaries, rather than being a belly-****on car. This '57 mostly does that. I enjoy knowing what the original looked like, then trying to work out what has been changed, and how. Some stuff I appreciate, other times I see things that are just not for me.

For me, a truly great custom is one that evolves over decades. The builder doesn't get it right the first time, or the new owner is not quite happy with what they see. Takes a lot of courage to tear into something once it has been "finished". I hope this one goes through that kind of cycle.
