4am and you’re driving something this loud in your neighborhood - what a legend 😂😂. Seriously tho that thing is cool, you’ve found a real gem there.

Man, you lucked out on that purchase! I was gonna say "I hear an electric fuel pump!" the first time you flipped that main power switch and cranked the key to "on"! Good stuff, man!

I would bet that the starting issues are from timing. Would also explain the running better at speed.

To be honest before you opened the hood I really wondered why you bought this pos. But inside was quite a surprise

That was a lucky grab it's cool you found that toggle switch.

Great show keep up the amazing work be safe my friends God bless all sweet golden goodness in one place

Awesome video. Nothing better than driving a 57 Chevy. Gonna keep watching the progress.

The seats look like the two middle row seats out of a Chrysler Town and Country minus the headrest.

A lot of guys put hidden security kill switches on their vintage cars. I knew a guy who rigged the cigarette lighter as the kill switch.

The head light needs check most of the time replace the bulb will help.

Of course it looks good, you've got yourself a 57 Chevy, you Lucky Dog!

The perfect sleeper

nice drive stay save the best from holland

Timing light is a must have and screwdriver maby adjust timing and carb adjustment  pull a spark plug ! when you go buy something like this. Wrap the fuel line with heat shield.

Great video,  glad you made it home safely.  There was a lot of traffic for being in the middle of nowhere. Like to see more on this classic.

Was about to comment about the old girl being a bit far advanced timing-wise, but I see someone's beaten me to it!  

The ol' Chev still got plenty of life in her and sounds great.  You aren't the first to be surprised by a little toggle switch under the dash - when I picked up my Triumph Stag and drove it up both islands of my country to home, the clutch spring got a bit weak, so I was under the dash trying to shorten it and must have knocked a hitherto unknown switch with my shoulder.  Next thing I knew, the horns were sounding off loudly at regular intervals in the carpark of the motel I was working in!  The car had an alarm fitted that I didn't know about!  

The '57 looks like a great starting point for a project and that a lot of the expensive engine side of it (and brakes too) has been sorted already.  It didn't look like the pipes went far back from the headers when you fired it up at the beginning (the way a puff of black smoke came out the back quite spread out was indicative of that) so I reckon that's probably a good part of the fumigation that was going on for you.  The tach showed me something else that you might want to check - I reckon her gearbox fluid might be a bit low.  She seemed to be a bit lazy on acceleration - there seemed to be a big jump in revs without changing down before she started accelerating to catch up (like a slipping clutch does in a manual vehicle) which usually signifies the oil in the box is less than the ideal amount.  I could be wrong and its just a feature of the box, but better safe than shelling out for a rebuild, eh?  

Thoroughly enjoyed the video. I like your easy-going style, mate.  Looking forward to the next one.  All the best from a new subscriber in New Zealand.

Well done mate great deal and that old girl did well

Great video.. glad you made it home .. I like to take chances but the old gas tank could have been a major problem.. in the tank there is a sock on the pickup tube that notoriously will stop up .. I throw them away and use just a in line gas filter and no problems pretty much forever if you change the filter .

Nice car cant wait to see more videos of it

Sweet ride brother remember the car hasn't been driven in a long time and it's a brand new build that you didn't build or put together so have to learn her tuning and timing first and four most what's the internal goodies you have on that build to then learn how she performs kinda like meeting a woman 😁 anyway good luck with your ride brother 💪🤘🤙
