Rusty 1957 Chevy Project Car Revealed! Finnegan's Garage Ep.141

we're not far we're point eight miles away from a potential new project car fake for real i think not that we need a new pressure car because we don't i think this might work out geez come on yeah all these little shops over here like this is just called james if we don't have it you don't need it and it looks like it's out of business i can't really tell it's either an antique shop or it's out of business there's an acting studio right there that's random right here [Music] left here here yep [Music] it's the one with the roll back in the driveway right here this is tim tim who tim driver you know tip driver i like tim trevor okay so maybe this will work you got a bunch of cars good stuff you got a bunch of gasers really isn't it yeah wow i don't know he knew this dude so i just found this guy on facebook parking place he's got a nice square buddy he bought one of your old steel wheels and slicks off your car had a swap meet you're kidding me really years ago this is a small world dude literally a small swap mate and they walked up they're like oh this is cool was like oh it's tim okay uh i'm gonna just pull straight in because i don't know if we turn around or what but he's got all kinds of stuff i think he's pulling crap i've been here a long time ago so like eight years ago right when i found blasphemy it was the biggest pile of crap i could afford like it needed everything this is in the same shape i think this is our next project card for real let's go look at it yeah [Music] he's [Music] wow wow that is cool looking it's clean too oh wow yeah all kinds of stuff back here that tow truck is cool yeah you've done that about i said 20 years ago yeah they'll put a cab on it put the motor down in it wheels on it you ever guys use it get it out around the block did you sell the ram truck you have without the box truck built on i traded it to a buddy of mine um so i i still have it he hasn't picked it up yet but but i traded it to him that swept line is cool looking i like it we had it about a year ago and it was fuel injected oh really yeah somebody took the it was a almost at the same moment just fuel injection on it had the holley sniper on it oh yeah that's good stuff and they took it out put a big pan and stuff in it so he needs everything like there ain't much to weld to um but it is a 57 and at one point it was blue and that dash is not cut and it's exactly the same shape blast me was in when i bought it and this is now yours what merry christmas are you serious yep you know on a 57 chevy for real yeah damn dude i'm sorry it's not nicer but they're kind of hard to come by as project cars holy crap for real yeah i knew you wanted one you've always talked about them so i've been looking and looking and looking i can't find a complete one for less than 18 grand and so i thought well what the hell blasphemy was a hunk of crap why can't we start with a hunk of crap firewall's good the body mounts are good yeah there's actually a lot of important things that are right about this car are you for real yeah man your name's on that otherwise you have a tri-five your name is on that one [Laughter] i mean they make everything for these things but if nothing else i we put it on the internet and say you know who's got sheet metal for it you know someone's gotta have doors you know quarters and whatever else we've gotta fix on this thing the trunk pan's good oh it's really bad it's really not you just you just found a rare spot look down there the whole front right there it's gone but these are easy parts to put in yeah these all these look at the bottom yeah yes it's rested out in the corner and then you can see right through it there but but this stuff is easily available and easy to install i love the bumpers on these cars they're just cool looking i love the pins oh it's bad don't know yeah maybe we can take it to anthony's and blast it yeah the dash is really nice i don't know for me like if the dash is good we can reveal to everything else yeah the rockers are no big deal yeah we need to fight the frame looks good though yeah yeah i think the i think the frame is good we can do floors rockers and quarters if we have to the package tray looks good back there under the back window looks good yeah she has potential it's so cool looking hell even if you didn't restore it it's still cool they make fiberglass everything uh-huh dude i'm telling you floors rockers trunk floor fiberglass front clip fiberglass trunk this is large too this this is literally what i did to blast me it was this bad i had a front clip that came with the car that looked like this i didn't even use it the quarters were junk the floors were junk everything in my car was junk except the dashboard post nice yeah good fine yeah yeah this is awesome those aren't the doors that came with the car somebody at a body shop had this car and used the doors for a 55 project they were working on so these doors just got thrown on there i guess the doors are for display only those are absolute junk they're not even they're nip well there's nothing to bolt them to so that we're gonna have to ratchet strap around the doors to get it home they're bad you know about one of one of these cars oh i know every time we drive anywhere you're like looking yards i have this car saved the marketplace this car yeah no way i swear to god i swear to god such a small world i was like yeah that's a decent car for a good price i was like so i saved it i just do that like i'll randomly get on there and like find stuff this car is on my stable i i don't i don't have any alerts set up anymore i'm trying to not do that to myself but uh but every time i get on there i just type in 57 chevy just see what comes up and they're either 80 000 the cheapest one i've seen was 18 grand you know and uh i don't know i like the idea of rebuilding it better than just you know buying one that's already done so i'm i'm building in my head right now i'm already like yeah well i figured like the nova is mostly done you know like sure it needs some work but that's a running driving go down the drag strip car now so you need a new project loader up [Music] new bernie's new project [Music] 57 chevy found it at a wrecking yard in lillarika georgia [Music] i think it's going to be cool man it needs one of everything too so if anyone out there has good sheet metal particularly the doors the doors are trashed hit us up [Music] yeah those tires don't look like the kind of thing you want to put your face next to [Music] 57 chevy is the only fitting car i like what's has your cadillac i mean big fin like my caddy's got small fins there we go newbern's new project needs one of everything really needs doors so if anybody out there has a good set of doors for a 57 chevy hit me up let me know because these doors only kind of slightly resemble doors but without the metal you
