Nice to see a show where the people don't have to be "bleeped" every time they open their mouths because they think it makes them look cool or edgy to the particular demographic of viewers that they cater to. This here is how real men act folks. God bless you guys not only in WHAT you're doing, but in HOW you conduct yourselves in doing it. 👍
Hello From England. I’ve been loving these videos. For some reason I can’t stop watching you guys doing the rescue and they look beautiful to me in their rusty state. I think it’s a profound deep experience going back in time and reviving something old and beautiful. I’m no mechanic, I’m an artist. But see huge creativity in your problem solving. The icing on the cake is the way you both seem kind and patient with each other. Beats Netflix :). Best wishes John. Ps I used to own a 59 Sunbeam Alpine GT red sports car, and my first ever vehicle. Just wonderful.
Alex Stoppa - learn by doing. Do some research and buy something that runs, drives and not rusted out. You’ll find plenty of other stuff to fix. Don’t fall for that “ran when parked” always ask: “why did they park it then” and “why are they selling it” if it’s in such good shape?
So glad for the lack of commercials here. I’m blown away by your southern pace. I spent 6 months in TX about 30yrs ago and just now remember how laid back it was. Funny how us New England boys are so strung out. Stay Safe. Love your videos.
That almost looks just like my first car, only mine was two tone, yellow and white and I bought it for $250.00 in 1965. I drove it all through high school and my dad kept it for me when I went into the navy. I drove it for 5 more years when I got out. I loved that car. You brought back a lot of good memories for me, thank you. I would be interested in buying her if the price is right.
That is a beautiful piece of art just the way it is. I can't wait to see how it looks when you are all done with it. Keep up the great work and Rust In Peace.
Great video. I have actually seen that car before. I live in Idabel Oklahoma and that 57 sat in a abonded gas station stall next to a red 57 2 door hardtop. The man who owned the station sold it and took the 57's along with a few other old cars to be auctioned off the man's name was Ferrell Jackson that owned the cars and the gas station. I dont know him myself but my Uncle does. I wasn't expecting to ever see this 57 again. I was born in 1991 and that was car was in that gas station as far back as I can remember. So I guess that was were it was parked in 1985. Glad to see it found a good home.
Love the 57. The smiles at 1:29:30 is priceless. I watched this episode after Live streaming our church’s Easter Sunday Service.... Happy Easter and God bless 🇦🇺🤙🏻
I was with you guys the whole time watching to see if I can hear it run. It was worth it to hear it. Still got some things to take care on it but that was a very good find guys.
See the pretty ceramic block on the firewall It is a resistor to drop voltage to points after the engine starts A wire runs directly to starter from key start position to bypass resistor when starting When in run position voltage runs thru resistor to prevent burning up points Still have flexible tool to adjust points while running Good luck
I once replaced the coil on a Ford Escort without knowing about this voltage drop. In the Escort it was done with some kind of internal resistance wire (never found out exactly how it worked). Never could get it running with the non-standard coil because it never received enough starting voltage. Good learning experience, without costing too much.
I grew up with this car. Ours was new and the color was coral. Dad’s pride and joy. Really enjoyed this revival! Just found this channel from your Restored channel. Cheering you on for success with both.
I don’t cheer and high five and all that,I’m too busy listening to the engine. People cheer and carry on while the motor is self destructing from no oil or something.
@Jason Blackburn>>>> Most professional shops would not open the hood and start pulling on parts without first power washing the entire car period. The process most professional shops like mine use is the first step is washing the car entirely particularly under the hood. The oil gets drained spark plugs radiator and distributor get pulled plug wires old points go in the shit can sometimes the distributor itself ends up there. After the radiator comes back the freeze plugs get examined before any water or coolant go back in the car. Shitty hoses get replaced. No professional likes to see a hose rupture of the engine suffer a mysterious mechanical demise from old sludge and shit blocking the oil journals in the engine. So what these guys R doing disgusts most of us that call ourselves professionals. In no way would have started fiddling around in that engine without getting all the crud out of the way first. We also go over the transmissions and examine old clutch and throw out bearings. Folks do not realize just how easy it is to get a vehicle stuck in gear and have it freeze up in gear. At times trying to force a car back out of gear where it froze can cause a catastrophe to a gear box. I find the car in the video interesting. I find the hosts being a pair of Boobs.. There is a shop here local to me that can a do beautiful job on those old brass and copper radiators. To me these guys offend people like me that call themselves a professional. What happens is videos like this give assholes bad impressions on what a professional restoration shop does do. What happens is shit like this starts arguments that I shoulda just done just this or that. More over we have severe winters and storms here which alters my approach at how I prepare a resto mod job.
@@gmc1284 John politely understand what these 2 guys are representing gives other folks thee very wrong idea how a professional approaches getting an old wreck running again. Now if you can only reach deep down in your confused mind you can consider what I mean. I have people that drop stuff off here and get a very wrong impression on how a Pro Shop approaches this work. I am sorry you are not capable of understanding the fundamentals of this work and the problems videos like these can cause. Just like those videos of guys going creeping around property and personal items left on remote and rural properties. It causes problems. It would be a lot diff if these two guys did not represent themselves as a professional shop. Even the happy the clown wires and battery can be dangerous just have a rouge unintentional spark hit gasoline and see what can happen to a person or their home or garage... These videos give the totally wrong impression of what a Professional shop does. Not to mention as the fiddle and fuddle with a 5 gallon gas can nearby you don't see a fire extinguisher in sight now do ya. I just about duct tape one to my ass when I am fiddling with an old engine that might spark arch or errupt into a ball of flames from the timing being off. Sorry U are not capable of understanding the extremeness of the dangers here in this video
If any car that you have ever got your hands on is worthy of a full restoration, it's this one. They are a totally iconic car worldwide, and if I could pick one up at that price, (approx $3050AU) I would be weeping tears of joy for years. You won't find one in that condition over here for less than $12,500 USD. They actually built these in Australia for a while, but as far as I know, they were all stovebolt sixes. Please (🙏) give this amazing car the attention it deserves.
This is a really great tribute to the way they used to build things in those days. Made to last, easy enough to maintain so that you didn't need a PHD from MIT and a half million dollars worth of tools and diagnostic equipment just to get running again. You guys did a great job of showing everybody what you can accomplish with the bare minimum of stuff. Now that you know what you have, the fuel pump, carb kit and ignition switch are justified. This is the old school way, like my grandpa and my uncles taught me. It's too bad they don't build things based on logic and common sense any more. I totally enjoyed watching both of these 2 vids.
There is a window on the distributor cap that allows for a special flexible allen wrench to enter and you can adjust the points on the fly with a dwell meter. The choke tube goes into a hole in the right side exhaust manifold. Strange I should be writing about this, but we worked on many a vehicle in our time, and most of it was without any computers.
Brought a smile on my face when it started and when it got on the highway again since 1985! You guys should raffle it off! I aould love something to work on during quarantine! Stay safe guys!
Love the video guys, however there are a few things I would’ve did first before cranking: 1. New oil 2. Set points 3. Coolant 4. Drain whatever in gas tank & replace 5. Put a new belt on missing alternator belt 5. Lube up cylinders before cold crank
I was also worried about cranking it on dry cylinders. They could’ve squirted some Marvel down the plug holes and examined the plugs while they were doing so.
To all of you out there now here is something us fans enjoy (this channel )! I hope that all of you are in good health, during this shut down ,and trying to cope with that is happening I agree that there will be a light at the end of the tunnel! So sit back and let TURNIN RUST take us to dreams of owning one their creations and admiring that long drive on a prefect day ! I strive to be one of the lucky people to sit down across the table from these people and discuss what I want in my new ride to be ! And to let them put it over the top as they so often! Wow ! Could it happen, so for now I sit back and let them take me on that ride that my dreams would be? So thank you for supporting them and so can that ride with you all .God bless be healthy!
My daddy gave me his 57 chevy to learn how to drive on the farm. Your video brought back many great memories of it. Daddy was a chevy man all his life. Thanks for the video! 👍
FYI: V-8 Chevys had a "V" on the trunk lid and on the front of the hood in the Tri-Five era. If it's silver/chrome, it's a 265 c.i. If it's gold, that's a 283 c.i. Just sayin'.
Hi boys your doing a great job I gave up doing my rescues I am 72 I love finding old cars and starting them I did a Buick straight 8 woodie still doing it
You guys are something. Enough bailing wire and a 2x6 will always work. If you continue to work on old GM cars you need a dwell-tachometer to adjust the points. I have one I’ll give you if you want it.
I don’t think so. Unless they are chrome reverse wheels. Been doing tires by hand since 1968 and 99.999% of wheels come off the front. Which makes it tough for nice finish wheels. You have to pad your tools. 57 Chevy steel wheels are same as any.
On these older cars you have 2 small terminals on the solenoid. One is the trigger. 12 volts to it engages the starter. The other goes to the + side of the coil. It feeds 12 volts to the points for a hot start. Once the car starts and the solenoid is released power goes to the points through a resistor wire dropping the power to the points to 9 volts. It makes the points last longer.
The 4 door 57 is in very low demand. You probably couldn't get back the money you invested to restore it unless of course you want to keep it for yourself, but again.....having 4 doors makes it far less desirable to most.
I'm the 3rd oldest of 7, but sometimes I wish I'd been born a boy because I love you and your dad's talking under the hood and I love cars and motorcycles, and everything old. Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed this footage.
I would rather have a two door , but hey it's a 57 Bellaire and finding any of them in this condition is good find. I would love to have this car, get everything mechanically sound and drive it daily. It's nice to have a awesome old classic car all fixed up and beautiful but u don't want to drive them much except to car show or a short Sunday drive, but I would like to see them just the shape they are in (long as not falling to pieces lol) and see them on the road as daily drivers, that would be great...
all of a sudden you got the door open and found a key. a miracle. just change all the hoses and wires, and of course, the oil and antifreeze although you don't need coolant to start the engine.
Oh man you guys are cracking me up! Adjusting the points on a Chevy distributor used to be something I could do in my sleep. Normally these points are designed to be adjusted with the cap on through the window in the cap. I wish still had the tool for that, cause I'd send it to you. Lord bless you Brothers
Just picked up our 4dr 57 four days ago as well, needed drivetrain, just got done with the top in accessories tonight! Watching this has me motivated to get it running tomorrow!!!
that is my favorite car the 57 its just been my dream car i was hoping you guys would make a video of getting it started i saw when you guys picked it up thanks for all your videos i enjoy them all
Love your videos. Ya need to pick up an old boat tank at a yard sale and put a electric fuel pump on it. I finally did and can't believe how much nicer it is to get cars going
56's didn't have that and i don't remember any 57's having it .It's how you adjust the dwell on the fly and quite a good idea back then (i bought a near new 56 belair when i was 17,and back then Model T was a 40 year old antique..) )
My cousin Lord Bless the dead had a red 57 he took it to get gas and the young attendant did not where the fill cap was at he had to tell him it was in the tail fin. this was in the mid 80s
After seeing that tire breakdown and change out, y'all are so fast you need to be on a nascar pit crew. That was a really cool fast forward time lapse sort of shot!! Kudos to the cameraman.
Iv seen about 2 or so months worth of your videos. Just subscribed to ya not to far back. Wanted to make sure i liked what i seen cause i am picky on what i subscribe to. Well love what iv seen so far great to have the father son thing going and the great old cars are a huge bonus for sure... One other thing i Love is how yous dont care how long the videos are. Love to sit back relax with some wine and not have to worry about looking for the next video every 30 secs.. Great show/entertainment.. Keep it up and ill keep sharing..

Hey man a guy wants to come with and learn how to fix on old cars like you
I mean a guy can fix on. But I want to learn more
Alex Stoppa - learn by doing. Do some research and buy something that runs, drives and not rusted out. You’ll find plenty of other stuff to fix. Don’t fall for that “ran when parked” always ask: “why did they park it then” and “why are they selling it” if it’s in such good shape?
Yeah but this guy is hilarious. And hes always doing some cool shit with cars in the woods. I prefer the "ran when parked" sales

I like how you walk us through the process no editing no music in background very 👍.
I was 10 years old in 1962 when my dad came home with a '57 Chevy 2 door post. I've loved the old Chevys ever since
I was with you guys the whole time watching to see if I can hear it run. It was worth it to hear it. Still got some things to take care on it but that was a very good find guys.
Thank you for this wonderful experience, in this tough time, your video brings much peace to my mind. Well done gentlemen.
Lockdown boredom buster! Just what the doctor ordered for my anti-COVID treatment. Bless you guys, keep 'em coming!

That’s right. Connect jumper wire to t.

Never could get it running with the non-standard coil because it never received enough starting voltage. Good learning experience, without costing too much.
Agree change the oil and ideally drop the pan and clean it and the oil pump screen
it's fun watching these young kids learning how to adjust points. 1/8 inch Allen head and a match book cover.
Chevy had the magic distributor you could adjust while it was running. You adjust the points and timing by ear.
I went on Google street view and found your shop and the car wash while I was watching the video, a very cool small town!
I wish l could find a deal like that in bc

When changing tires on the wheel that are on the 1957 .... You dismount them from the rear!!
I changed a lot of them back in the day.
I don’t think so. Unless they are chrome reverse wheels. Been doing tires by hand since 1968 and 99.999% of wheels come off the front. Which makes it tough for nice finish wheels. You have to pad your tools.
57 Chevy steel wheels are same as any.
Greg Blalock is correct. ’57 steel wheels are different that way. Many of those wheels ruined by doing it the ”standard way”.
On these older cars you have 2 small terminals on the solenoid. One is the trigger. 12 volts to it engages the starter. The other goes to the + side of the coil. It feeds 12 volts to the points for a hot start. Once the car starts and the solenoid is released power goes to the points through a resistor wire dropping the power to the points to 9 volts. It makes the points last longer.
Great video!! America nothing is impossible
The hood alone is worth more than you paid...For the whole car...Thanks guys fun to watch...God Bless...Stay safe....!
The sport sedans are my favorite! I’m trying to get mine finished.
Four door hardtops were great!
That four door really grew on me watching this video. LOVE it and I'd definitely restore the old girl.
Makes me want to go out to the garage and work on my 57.
Well, get out there...😁
I'm not normally a jealous guy, but that '57 is killin' me-awesome project!
Personally I think you should restore the Chevy. You basically have a complete car.
The 4 door 57 is in very low demand. You probably couldn't get back the money you invested to restore it unless of course you want to keep it for yourself, but again.....having 4 doors makes it far less desirable to most.
I'm the 3rd oldest of 7, but sometimes I wish I'd been born a boy because I love you and your dad's talking under the hood and I love cars and motorcycles, and everything old. Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed this footage.
I would rather have a two door , but hey it's a 57 Bellaire and finding any of them in this condition is good find.
I would love to have this car, get everything mechanically sound and drive it daily. It's nice to have a awesome old classic car all fixed up and beautiful but u don't want to drive them much except to car show or a short Sunday drive, but I would like to see them just the shape they are in (long as not falling to pieces lol) and see them on the road as daily drivers, that would be great...
Four doors are now cool also always were
I like 4 door cars but a 2 door will work for me if I can't find a 4 door
Could spend all weekend watching revivals like this. Thanks guys!!
Cold start. Will you guys ever put oil in the heads. Wind by hand. Or at least run two stock oil in fuel. Take care . Stay safe from vires.
And make sure that the choke an fuel pump are working too
all of a sudden you got the door open and found a key. a miracle. just change all the hoses and wires, and of course, the oil and antifreeze although you don't need coolant to start the engine.
$1,900 for that! You got lucky. Around here (Mid Michigan) its be closer to $8,500 - $10,000 for that the way it sits.
Yeah that's a steal anywhere!
yea, how does a mortal get a deal like that? Next he finds a 55 nomad for how abouta tree-fiddy?
@Dave Micolichek Can you point me to a 55 in decent shape for decent money?
Oh man you guys are cracking me up! Adjusting the points on a Chevy distributor used to be something I could do in my sleep. Normally these points are designed to be adjusted with the cap on through the window in the cap. I wish still had the tool for that, cause I'd send it to you. Lord bless you Brothers
Love this old car, be a great fixer upper and get it back on the road!!!
Just picked up our 4dr 57 four days ago as well, needed drivetrain, just got done with the top in accessories tonight! Watching this has me motivated to get it running tomorrow!!!
I’d love to see the interior detailed.... in a video somebody will be a lucky owner oneday
i am In Trinidad and Tobago and would have loved to own this car... it would been nice to see this car get a full build and restoration!
Well look like to get the old girl up and running. I’m sure you’ll be able to flip it. Enjoyed watching you guys work on her.
I find it a little odd that we are looking at 1995 as a long time ago. I mean where did the time go ?
Levitating skateboards are coming next year
gone like DeSotos
That was 1985 that the car was parked.
@@jack002tuber Man, Levitating skateboards were 5 years ago! Unless there's another movie which mentions them in 2021.
Flew for me mate. lol.
loving this bel air!
would love to see you guys work on something with a slant 6 in it that'd be awesome
I would really like to see a budget restoration with wd-40, Lindseed oil and rattle cans. A restoration under $500. You guys up for a challenge?
Awesome sign on name bro
that is my favorite car the 57 its just been my dream car i was hoping you guys would make a video of getting it started i saw when you guys picked it up thanks for all your videos i enjoy them all
Son: Looks like there's some green stuff in the radiator.
Dad: That's-not antifreeze.
Man you got an absolute steal for that car. I fairly complete ‘57 for $1900. You can’t beat that. Excited to see this car on more videos!
did y'all end up getting that International Scout?, would love to see that get going again.
You guys are so calm and work great together I wish I could say that I can keep that calm on my restoration of my 52 Chevy truck
Clean up the interior, fix driver window, buff out yellow paint, drive her the way she is.
Ya, cause I get seepy in SLO mo real time. You have the tec to do so. Take a look at,Cole the Corn Star, to see what I 'm sayn.
Love your videos. Ya need to pick up an old boat tank at a yard sale and put a electric fuel pump on it. I finally did and can't believe how much nicer it is to get cars going
power steering , 4 barrel and power brakes pretty rare
Iconic shot of the car in front of the old barn.
I got my Belair on the road in 1990, still own it. Part of the family.
most dist. cap has window slide it up adjust points
they make a tool for that adjustment
I've got that tool , I don't think I have ever used it... an allen wrench on a flex..
@@Reroy55 I've had one of those in my tool box for years my grandpa gave me, ive never used it either.
56's didn't have that and i don't remember any 57's having it .It's how you adjust the dwell on the fly and quite a good idea back then (i bought a near new 56 belair when i was 17,and back then Model T was a 40 year old antique..) )
Great getting the old cars back to the streets ( awesome )
Ol Derek from VGG would of had this ol sweetheart running right away for a guy.
This iconic car is very popular here at the other side of the pond. It's very inspiring to watch you bring her back to life.
My cousin Lord Bless the dead had a red 57 he took it to get gas and the young attendant did not where the fill cap was at he had to tell him it was in the tail fin. this was in the mid 80s
wow...an attendant that pumped your gas...wow.
After seeing that tire breakdown and change out, y'all are so fast you need to be on a nascar pit crew. That was a really cool fast forward time lapse sort of shot!! Kudos to the cameraman.
Is that a powerpack engine? 4Bbl,sharp hump on the end of the heads? .I see power steer which wasn't that common.
It sure does look like a327out of something latter to me a
Was expecting a 2 bbl. 283... 4 bbl. is a good sign...
@@thomasjasper9143 Thats a 327, early to mid 60s. Style of the valve covers. 283 had Chevrolet name embossed on the valve covers.
Iv seen about 2 or so months worth of your videos. Just subscribed to ya not to far back. Wanted to make sure i liked what i seen cause i am picky on what i subscribe to. Well love what iv seen so far great to have the father son thing going and the great old cars are a huge bonus for sure... One other thing i Love is how yous dont care how long the videos are. Love to sit back relax with some wine and not have to worry about looking for the next video every 30 secs.. Great show/entertainment.. Keep it up and ill keep sharing..
