Hello all,
Just bought a 57 4 door. THis is my first 57 style build so any information would be appreciated. Not sure where to go with the suspension brakes steering etc... came with the original 283 rebuilt and a the three speed overdrive.
Thanks
Have photos but cant figure out how to upload them
Welcome aboard! Nice project.
First let me say welcome to the site. A lot of good people on here. My first question is what type of build are you looking for? Pro Touring, Pro Street, Cruiser ect...Either way good brakes and sway bar make a huge difference in these cars.
Welcome to the site. Appears to be a good solid project. The terrain looks like it came from eastern Colorado, Kansas or Wyoming? Do you want to restore it or resto-mod it?

Thank you,
That is a good eye Chevynut, I live in Parker and so did the car. Been reading a lot of your posts already on here and saw your from Fort Collins, I enjoyed my time at CSU.
As for the car part of me wants to resto-mod it but I have a 70 Camaro already so do I need two "fast" cars? lol
I have always wanted to put a C4 IRS in my Camaro but it takes a lot of body work and frame fab. Looks like with your kit its not that difficult to slap a C4 under there...
My other idea is if it should convert it to a two door or not?
with the second frame though I was thinking building the frame with all the fancy stuff but get the car running on the original first then when the frame is ready swap it over.
Welcome to the site, looks like you have a lot of fun ahead of you, enjoy it!
Always good to see new blood on the site, welcome!

Stroker, my shop is just off of the interstate a couple minutes on the north edge of town, so if you want to come up sometime to look around let me know. IMO the front is where much of the handling improvement and modern car feel is realized with a C4 setup. We're building a frame right now that needs to be done in 3 weeks for pickup. I'm almost always around, just PM me for my number or get it from my website.
