Vicki Novas 1957 Chevrolet Sport Sedan-4 door Hardtop Build

first off, I have to say, I have one of the best gal's in the world, a true HOT ROD COUGAR! Mine LOVES road trips to buy hot rods, Loves Shows/cruise inns, Camping, and working on our old cars, I now have 11 and she has 5....

She bought this 1957 4 door hardtop 2 years ago and put it away till she sold her house, well, it's gone and the 57 is in the shop being done...Pulling it apart, doing it right...Harbor Blue, with a Blue Black interior, WWW and spinners and Fender Skirts....Mostly stock...More as we do it, we took it apart Sunday, and will be pulling it off the frame this weekend....if the mounts come in....seeing more and more of these 4 door hardtops, it is the ONLY 4 door, I'd own...and did, I bought on from my buddy Steve Gibson here in the Goshen, Ohio area when I was 25, that would be 20 years ago...where has the time gone...

The family that 57 together stay together? You don't see the hardtop 4 doors much. My 57 Buick was that way. Pretty cool..

It looks good enough to drive the way it is but if she is paying the bill then go for it.

mama said even better when done, new Harbor Blue paint and interior, skirts, WWW and spinners....

And a correct 283/powerglide too.

I didn't know you guys like spinners????
Yes I am confused...

wrong ethnic group type of spinners; geeeezer ethnic group

After I get my 55 close to stock ride height I am also thinking about wide white radials and a set of 57 Dodge lancer spinners but no skirts.

I got a set just like them hanging in the basement that dad used to put on it so they might be going back on.

updated...rockers installed, small rust spot repaired, body work almost done, Vicki and i went and got the Sealer Primer, Paint and Clear coat...$844 employee cost at KOI....wow...next pull off the frame, clean and paint it, and install the new body mounts, then painted within 2-3 weeks, then I get to put it back together...Then the insides.....

At least someone is making some progress. Looking good.

Well it's painted;


and now I cleaned and painted the motor and frame...



Next putting the doors on Saturday and carpet in...project coming to a close....next my 56!!!

Looking good
