World’s Worst 1957 Chevrolet: CHEAPER THAN REBUILDING – Tubular Control Arms AND Slotted Disc Brakes!


World’s Worst 1957 Chevrolet: CHEAPER THAN REBUILDING – Tubular Control Arms AND Slotted Disc Brakes!

He’s back at it, and this ’57 Chevrolet is, dare I say, getting better looking? It’s getting more and more parts and is certainly showing whoever wants to watch, just what you can do with some simple tools and enough balls to try to pull it off. I dig it. Check it out.

When Dan dragged this nasty 1957 Chevy home there was no doubt that it was rough, and we mean ROUGH. So much rust, so much nastiness, and so much patching required. He did a lot of work using good patch panels from donor vehicles, but the floors in this thing were so bad that the only smart way to repair them was to do a complete one piece floor pan. It’s had a donor chassis put under it, modified for some tire, and more. This thing needs just about everything to be honest.

Check it out.

Video Description:

No surprises here…. The 70 year old chassis had totally worn out front suspension and brakes. The unfortunate reality of 2023, it’s cheaper to replace than rebuild.

This kit from Ebay includes tubular control arms, drop spindles and slotted front disc brakes. The factory stuff rides nicer but this kit was much much cheaper and faster.

What do you think? Money well spent?
