Project X - 1957 Chevy at SEMA

[guinness138]

Good job of turning it into every other custom '57 that the average guy can't afford to build. You should rename the car Project Fail.

[Hot80s]

I remember ((( PROJECT X ))) as a young boy in the SEVENTIES & bought a yellow 210 recently. I went online to get old pictures & saw what they did to my Hero...

You guys fucked it up, got it all wrong & one day we'll tear the car down of all that horseshit you did to it.

I will build mine the way it looked in Hollywood Knights.

Why dont you go & RETRO ROD the 55 from GRAFFITTI? Now you know how STUPID your tranformation IS.

[Thumper69696]

You should be ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES for what you did to that car....

[calimar28]

Awful. Changed the cluster? THey did everything they could to strip the car of its originality. Garbage

[belair55zz56]

I still have the original books they sold to folks, It's kinda changed over the years.

[fireinsyde]

Project X-tremely plain, boring, and ugly. Stripped off the original beauty and replaced it with blah. Nice work guys.

[fireinsyde]

let's see more video of the car, i don't mind listening to this guy yapping, but i'd rather be looking at the car than his mug.

[SportSuperBigblock]

A '57 Chevy with modern billet wheels looks like an old lady wearing mini skirt... I like the traditional five spokes like the Cragar SS.

[ten8goa]

Ruined that car

[zrulz]

A project manager - seriously? They wasted a lot of time and money considering way better retro customs are born everyday from private custom shops. I think this team is actually years behind the talent that exists in the custom car market. Great mis-allocation of resources from them as usual and continued rewarding of mediocrity.

[2fingersbobby]

well its not fwd LOl

[TSN1957]

I agree with the majority of you guys....they really overdid this car and ruined it! It's ugly from every angle. If there's a positive out of all of this, it's that they never got their hands on Bob Falfa's black '55 Chevy in American Graffiti. Long live old school hot rods!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[greasy1957]

bunch of old rich white guys with too much money on their hands. shoud've left it alone!!!!!!!!!!1

[sparkie231]

real hot rods have blowers. i remember when they installed the blower back in the late 70's. Long live the original project x. this car is a piece of crap.

[MrJimbo7974]

this car looks like shit next to the old one.

[olskool29]

they worked very hard... to fuck up a piece of history.

[bigdaddy0228]

Those rich stiff knecks at sema dont know nothing about a real street/strip car.Bring back the old x

[bigdaddy0228]

The car is very nice but the old project x with the blower hanging out of the front is the ultimate street ride.I liked the old much better.

[wildndn15]

That aint worth the true Project X

[badVWbug]

I take this is as a slap in the face to the true Hot-Rod spirit. If you want to build something along these lines, all the power to you, just please please don't try to label it as sumthing it will never be.

Fat byas-ply wrapped chrome reverse, real chrome bumpers ahead of a topless blown small block is the only way to do it.

Long live the Hollywood Knights!

[molotovcocktailsband]

the wheels are dumb looking why dont they make it to look like an old school gasser project x is supposed to be a hot rod. what happened?

[ten8goa]

To me, the one from Hollywood Knights is Project X. The way it looks now, you can't tell it's the same car. It looks like any other mega buck 57.

[jarronjo]

I don't want to drive it across the country. I want to race cobras from redlight to redlight. The Hollywood Knights version was absolutely the best.

[badVWbug]

you nailed it man. Thumbs up for you! :)

Long live the Hollywood Knights!

[kogenta81]

the car in hollywood knights, mines just like it, but without the blower. i'm starting a blown 383 soon, but yeah, that's a BAD!!! car. and to mrich21087...forget an LS7, a blown chevy block, done right, could send a piece of crap LS home crying...go carb, or nothing!

[thirtysford]

Hot Rod should have kept Project X to themselves and did the work themselves. HotRod should know, Hot Rods are made by people not by the manufactuare! I have followed this car for over 30 years and although it is nice now, it was better when Tony Danza drove it in Hollywood Knights!!!

[mrich21087]

So you have all the comforts of a modern car... except with a carb on it! Do the LS7 or go home. Carbs are dead.

[sivvybee]

This car was doing wheel stands dragging the bumper 30 years ago with a blown small block. It was one of the first 57's with a Big Block in it in the 60"s. I believe it has had over 30 engines in it. Now it is a pretty cool driver and the most famous 57 of all.

[smoothie6ft3]

Ho humm. There are so many other custom 57's out there that this one just does not move me at all.There is nothing dramaticly different about it other than the 427 logo on the front.Try again fellas.

[NICECOLDBEER]

Ok! 6 Sliders and a big glass of prune juice comin' up

[doggiestyle247]

lol...retarded...wanna be classic car then

[Krong32]

Holden Efijy? That thing is one spectactular vehicle. Wow. Peasantmoon, Thanks for pointing that one out.

[ratatoi2000]

this is nuts. this is not authentic anymore

[filipekaka]

whats next? electric power engine or a solar panel in the saeling? what a stupid joke of a car...

[macfrederick]

They absolutley RUINED project x . that is a shame on so many different levels its not even funny. Stupid bastards . Chevy has not turned out anything worth a damn in 20 years . And im a die hard chevy guy

[Buick61]

BOOOOOOOOOOO

Waste of a car. It should have been restored to factory specs, and not made a performance parts abomination.

[REHJR1974]

the 572 would been a better engine . because it has the number 57 tight in the front of it and has a lot more power then a 427.

[InLineRecordSource]

It would be alot cooler with a 427 Cammer

[peterm3964]

Music too loud couldnt stand it

[biodcel]

You guys at GM, just don't get it, if you are updating a 50 year old car, put a damn electric motor in it! 0-60 in 6 seconds and NO gas?

[Souljah2610]

Go hug a tree motherfucker

[Testdriver2003]

I remember Project X from the movie Hollywood Knights...Awesome

[skruffyvalentine]

BRING IT BACK!!!

We want a 57 chevy brand new with all new shit. You build it and we will buy it. Tryst me. . . you will sell a shitload of chevies if you bring that damned thing back!!!

[neelradhakrishnan]

[pimpferike]

Felhívnám a figyelmedet az I. HTW Tuning Partira, amely 2007 November 23-án kerül megrendezésre a Hajógyári szigeten a STUDIÓ-ban.

[Shultzgti]

GM killed the electric car. Why? So they could build the Hummer and sucks Hummer owner's pockets dry for maintenance. Oooh, the irony of the Hummer. "We're proud"? Laughable. I'm surprised there wasn't more U.S. flags in the background. C'mon guys, you're not thinking. Google "who killed the electric car?" It's an awesome movie.

[Rockettter]

Project X looks like any other 57' Chevy.. So what the big deal... Billion dollar company and this is the best they could do? Oh well smoke and mirrors! GM Come bring it on''''''

[kingvidiot66]

Why make 1? Get these back on the road!

[BrightArse]

if it were made in germany or japan they would have used a totally new frame design since the frame is one the keys to cornering stability

[SGR8]

thats right thats what i thought too

i dont think its really aerodynamic

[AUSY18]

its not for speed or corners........its for cruising. its a classic how they shud be.

[shootme243]

thats sick

[nelson1534]

cool

[emrer6]

helal olsun adamlar iyi

calısmıslar

[vockytoria]

[sahaf4omeiri]

[nomenclature3000]

cars stink! ride a bike instead!

[drhanniballecter1977]

chip foose is number1!!!

[coolyoriginal]

cool car =D can santa give me one ? eheeheh

[motodad59]

such a cool car, i want one!!!!!!

[seef0]

Holy ventilation Batman, I think we missed the sale on mesh.

[jezipoo]

YAY, Even more greenhouse gas ! ....... wankers

[andym2k7]

Cars make up about 3.5% of the total greenhouse gases you fool, cows make up 15% you cock.

[jezipoo]

you are not including car production in your estimate.

The seven sources of CO2 from fossil fuel combustion are (with percentage contributions for 2000-2004)[8]:

Solid fuels (e.g. coal): 35%

Liquid fuels (e.g. gasoline): 36%

Gaseous fuels (e.g. natural gas): 20%

Flaring gas industrially and at wells: <1%

Cement production: 3%

Non-fuel hydrocarbons: <1%

The "international bunkers" of shipping and air transport not included in national inventories: 4%

[GreaseStain]

those produstion estimates cover everything you own and uses everyday.(light bulbs, tooth paste, lumber, condoms, so on)

i'm not sure about air transport, but i know i've worked on ships that burn 24 cubic meters of fuel a day (24,000L, or 6340 gallons.). cars are a part of the problem, just a too small of one to be so focused on.

[JanjaapvanAdel]

indeed, so stop eating them, so the number of livestock can go down, and the emissions will be vastly reduced. Agreed?

[GreaseStain]

but, vegatarians are so skinny.. theres barly any meat on them. eating cows is far more efficent!

[arroncoh1]

Can I buy it?

[Fsizofreni]

yes yes the cemende baby BİRİNDAR MURAT

[JDtheMusicMan]

It's a nice car after you're done with it, no question. Too bad it's not a 57 2 door hardtop instead of a sedan. 57's were ok looking, especially the hardtops without the piller... and they are still very popular but I always liked the newer models better, like the 59, 60, 61, body styles were far better looking.... more streamlined, and had fins that were horizontal instead of vertical. '62 was hot too,but don't care much for the 63 and later models tho. But nice job.

[dobrzan12]

bardzo słaby i nudny

[BKALEY]

300K + lots of time and money = custom Jalopy

[jerrydoubleu]

The orig 57's were very good cars to start with. I drove one like crazy for a long time.

[mycheesesteak]

'57's forever!

[luzzac]

legal

[gnrdude]

Ok WTF are they going to Build this car?

[kaymanclark]

ooo i don't know my grandpa's 56' would give that car a run for it's money

[GnosisMan50]

WILL YOU SHUT THE MUSIC OFF!?? PLEASE!?

dam!

[Azz2TheFace]

I'll take 2 thanks.

[music4lyfe123]

sorry i dont like i like more of the 67' camaro and 74' cuda

[chrisofthetube]

gm engine, one of the best in the world imo,, nice way to celebrate it but are gm gonna sell any of these?

[HottestSnapeFan]

i love those cars!

[ljkj60]

Takes me back. My high school boyfriend taught me how to drive a manual in his '57 Chevy. It just flew. We attended SEMA in St. Paul in 1977 when we were in high school.

[JustMightBeGod]

Looks great. Thank god for the manual trnsm!

[freakbuster]

Look into future, please!

[stoned797]

[m22rockbox]
