Undercoating and POR-15 on 1957 Chevy MUSCLE CARS & HOT RODS episode 79

In this episode we look at a 1957 Chevy Business coupe that needs some undercoating and POR-15 on the frame in preparation for a crate motor T-56 Transmission, and vintage air. Then we introduce the 1968 Chevy Pick up project and show some of the metal work and bodywork. Lastly we get a quick update on Jeff's 1972 Dart and how the short block bench seat and instrument cluster are coming along.

the 67 chevy truck is not a 67..... the cab is probably a 68 as the back window is too big for a 67...... the bed sides are atleast 69 as they had the marker lights that have been filled in.......

If you listen in this video or the next one I corrected myself. Thanks for pointing out some distinctions between the years for us.

See if the wife will let you put that bench seat out on the front porch...

I can't wait to see that 360 go in... I have a spare 440 if you ever get bored with the 360! Great job as usual. Happy Holidays

where's that 440 I always bored enough for a big block.

Hey Jeff, does anyone make brackets to bolt aftermarket seats like these into Darts? I am currently looking to install race seats in my 75 swinger.

I've also seen a variety of different options including some very affordable ones in the summit catalog. I just going to fab something up for my Dart.

loved what you did to the cluster nice and sexy on australian special modles wn had aluminium fish scale finish on the cluster and consoles just an idea

using the origional runners of factory buckets remove the plastic spacers you save 1/2 inch and then weld a square sheet of metal to the top of the runners and then you have a flat surface to mount the new seats to then you can cut off anything that dosent fit or look right :D
