1957 Chevy Bel Air Hot Rod - High End Restoration

As mentioned in the video Marvin Meyer acquires this 1957 Chevy Bel Air Hard Top at the age of 15. He tweaks it a bit and becomes the car guy in school. After more than 45 years he is very happy to possess his first car ever, being able to perform a high end restoration and transform it into a show stopping hot rod.

Of course, Marvin’s 1957 Chevy Bel Air restoration was a long term project and it wouldn’t be possible without the help of his brother Jim – owner of Jim Meyer Racing Productions. The Meyer Bros have also built the immaculate Chevelle displayed next to the Tri-Five Chevy, but this hot rod was sold not long ago.

Attending various car shows Marvin Meyer’s 1957 Chevy Bel Air Hard Top was honored with a top 25 pick, then top 5 by his peers out of 2,800 cars and the last ’57 standing at the 2017 Tri Five Nationals.

Marvin's goal was to build one of the nicest '57 Chevy hot rods in the country. Do you think he did a good job?

Mine use to look nice back in the 80s, but now it looks nothing like this. Id be afraid to have it leave my sights.
Now I've own Miss Crazy since 75 so I have him beat by a couple years. She is a lot more sassy nowadays.
I subbed so please return the fave.

What a wonderful Chevy! I like '57 Chevys and this one is really cool. And the sound!

Marvin's brother is a hot rodder too, the orange Chevelle in the video was his.

Just getting into cars. Why does it sound almost like it’s sputtering and about to stall when you were pulling out of the driveway? Is that the nature of the engine in low gear or the intake or the exhaust or something different?

Gorgeous car. Very jealous. BTW

[antoniolink]

What size rims and tires was on that bel air? Also did u have the car lowered? If so how much front and back?

[petemedina]

Gorgeous car nice color sounds great too nicely done

Would be nice if you hadn't destroyed the suspension and put ugly wheels on it so sad that ppl don't have respect for the old auto industry
