This is Bertha, my 1957 Chevrolet Sport Sedan (4 door hardtop). I drove through Florida on 2/17/2007 and somehow she followed me home. I have begun stripping her down in preparation for media blasting since she has 50 years of crap all over her. She has a little rust, but nowhere near what most '57s have. I need to replace SMALL places in the floor pans, but the majority of the rust is in the rear window frame. I hope you enjoy!

Here are pictures of the trunk area after I cleaned it out and got rid of the old rubber mat that was dry rotted.
Here are the pictures from the latest work I did on Saturday, 4-27-2007 (remove rear bumper-what a PITA and sand on the roof)
Here are the latest pictures. My father and grandfather were down to watch my graduation at Auburn. My grandfather bought a 1957 Chevy new and sold it in 1962. This is the first time he has sat in one since.
Here is picture of my father sanding the rear quarter panel.
And me under trying to strip the remaining trim.
Here is the beginning of my sanding marathon. These are from May 15, 2007
And what happens when the grinder gets away from you and runs amok.
