Not the most tech savy here, but will get familiar. I'm excited about my 1957 2 door hardtop Chevy Bel Air that I purchased last month. Overall body and interior is nice. Has the 283 V8, powerpack, runs nice. I'm not use to operating the "3 on the tree" Most of the Chevy is original except for valve covers, paint job and seats. I will be trying to restore it back and dress up engine some. I like the paint job even though not original, like a rust brown color.

I found original front bench seat on eBAY for 2 door Chevy and they should arrive here soon. Will be re upholstering to match interior and give it classic look.
