As a Tri-Chevy lover, I missed the 50th anniversary of 55s,living the joy in my 56 and overhauling my friend's 57 for her 50th birthday.The car originaly was 210 2door sedan w/Lsix, now it has 350/350 power plant,PS,PB.

I've been working hard on her body over a year to make her a real sharp,cute,fine example.Working on 55 and 56 is a piece of cake comparing to 57s.
Most painful thing is introducing new body trim and mouldings to and old 57 body.God! They don't like each other.
The orignal colour was Colonial Cream /Ivory. At first I dreamed cruising along Bosphorus in a 57 Chevy,50 years old and looks like "a brand new car just rolled out from assembly line".

But my friend said he had always envied Bel Air aluminum side inserts...
...and bumper guards and his favourite colour is blue.So, I name the car Bluemix.
It took almost a week to perfectly fit brand new bezel.57s need alot of "hammer into shape" thing.
And again hood bar extensions.Its really hard job to fit it all to fender,bumper,headlight and hood perfectly.
Actually,most blame can be put on reproduction parts.This new hood rocket backing plate for example,has a defect (look closer at middle groove)and doesn't fit to the bonnet as I dream.

Finally tinted windows arrived, and lamb skin seat covers applied ('55 convertible style)

And,,,engine compartment is inspected by "Pitir" the kitten:)
