New guy from Midlothian, TX

[Big-Foot]

Hi folks -
just registered tonight. I’m a life-long car-guy an live most of the year in the Dallas TX area. We winter in AZ.
I’m doing some research to build my basket-case 57 Bel Air 2dr HT that my best friend was rebuilding before he passed away suddenly last fall.
I’m Hoping to find some assembly diagrams of all the front Sheet Metal.
It’s been more than 50 years since I had my last 57 in High School.
This car is actually pretty solid with zero mud in it. Solid floors and rockers with just minor rust.
Are there any online repositories of drawings or photos that might help me?
Thank you!

Welcome to the site.

The first thing you need to do is get a factory shop manual and a factory assembly manual. Both are online, but print copies are sold by trifive parts dealers. The graphics are better on the print versions, but the online versions are very useful too, and you can post a page in a thread here to help ask or answer a question.
