After a 1700 mile trip just to get there, it’s time to put in some real work and this is going to be interesting. Nothing is done yet, and there are some issues with parts, but can they overcome?
We told you how DD and Newbern ganged up on Brandon’s ’57 Chevy to surprise him with it running and driving for Hot Rod Power Tour. If you missed that video, there is a link to it below, but the lowdown is that Brandon was expecting to go to on Power Tour with Newbern in his car and instead, Newbern decided to surprise him with a rebuild so they could take his car. Never one to miss out on a bit of fun with a Tri-Five Chevy, DD decided to join in as well.
Video Description:
Day 1! Naturally we’re already behind… Plagued with missing parts and a HARD deadline.
All we have to do is completely “rebuild” a 1957 Chevy in 3 days and take it 1000 miles on power tour. Today we managed to set in the motor, transmission and hung the rear end.
While that seems like a lot got done, it’s the little things that will sneak up on ya. Plumbing brakes, fuel, wiring ect ect are all going to be time wasters After a 14 hour day we had ourselves a roller and could see just a little light at the end of the tunnel.
