We would love to do cool things like this again!! Help us out and go thank Summit Racing by subscribing and watching some of their videos!! Wile there thank them for helping us out so much!!!
youtube.com/@SummitRacing?feature=sharec
Man Robbie I hope you had a two more gears to that transmission or it's going to be a really long journey
If you were worried it wouldn't fit you've obviously never watched eDD speed shop
Are the videos up on Summits CZcams page yet? I can't see to find them.
17:40 the tears down takes a derisive turn with summit racing.
How about Rolling Rust?
That “spreader bar” was used to replace the cut out piece of radiator support, it was to used adjust the front opening. It kept the front of the fenders sagging inward. That’s the way us old timers “I’m 75” removed and installed engines back in the day. This week a 6 cylinder, next a 327, then a 396 and then a 427. After blowing the V8s up back to the 6 cylinder. We didn’t have all the modern technology.
I kind of laughed when robby pulled the bar out wondering what it was for he just may fine he needs it on way home when fenders go flopping lolol
I’m 77 and hated it when people cut that bar out. A few more bolts and you could just remove and put it back.
Now I need to watch this video again dangit. I'm 31 and work on diesels but refuse to allow this kind of knowledge to be lost to time. There's no telling when I'll work on a stock '57 and I might forget this tip, but I've remembered 20 year old abstract facts before.
Almost that old Only 73, but I've been there and done that, more times than one!!!
We're GM guys. Said with the Ford placard prominently displayed on the wall behind them.
They have to be all things to all brands. Love that Summit guy.
Lol
The good news is, you seem to know someone with a trailer, in every state, so even if you find a new problem on the way home, you'll still be fine.😂
Chevrolet began using 12v electrical systems in 1955. And the 350 was introduced in 1967.
X2 what he said ^
I knew I had a 4 bolt main 350 in a 73 Cheyenne Super.
The 350 was 1st available to the public in 1967 model year Chevies. My dad's 50 Belair was 12 volt. Thinking back, that was changed when the 6 got replaced with a 62 Vette 327 Fuelie. But yeah, you got the idea.
1967 was the birth of the 350….come on Summit….should have know that!!!
The engine in that 57 is not original that engine block has side mount boltholes. The original 57 Chevy did not have side mount bolt holes on the Block.
WOW, Building a car with all new parts, sitting there waiting on you, not you waiting on parts! That's like a dream come true!
I am glad Summit is providing all of the New, Safe, parts for reassembly of your '57
10:16 Guy in the background: "LOL, there's no way I'm doing this again!" 🤭🤣
I couldn't imagine Summit racing being outfitted with anything but the best but that's the mecca of garages right there. Such a great situation!!! Good job Robby and yup I subscribed to summit racing!!!💪
The summit guy rocks! This is a hell of a build! Awesome!
This is being a very interesting build. I can hardly wait to see the end. When you're on the road with the 57 Chevy!
Picking on Hillbilly a lot lately aren't ya, love watching you guy do crazy stuff
@robbylayton, This is a great series. Love this project. What made this more fun to watch was your wife was included in the video making. Her making one liner comments were awesome. Example the time she worked with HillBilly on the control arms. Anyways can't wait to see the test of the build video and it's voyage home..❤❤❤
Glad to see that the professionals ( Summit) are wearing safety glasses, while Robbie and Hillbilly don't need no stinking safety glasses 🤓🤣🤣
With all the help you're receiving, you should call it "The Summit Racer".
I guess I am vintage also because I was born in 57. Thanks Summit racing for helping with everything and I just subscribed. Thanks Robby Layton.
Hanging new parts on that rusted out hulk is like trying to make a cake out of horse manure!
who is the cake for ?
Robby I'm absolutely loving this build , the closest Ive ever gotten to this is my pile of 57 Chevy model car kits , I can't wait to see what you do with the body and paint when you get it home. Safe travels buddy and thanks for the content.
I went to Summit Racing and Subscribed and thumbs 👍 so im on board and hooe the help with more builds. Thanks Summit Racing for letting us in on the build.
You will be able to call her Christine but watch out for the car radio...🤣🤣🤣
I absolutely LOVE that Summit Sponsors SO many events, projects and people like you.. I'm currently restoring our '65 Chevy C10 and purchase from Summit as often as I can to help support THEM.. My wife and I are looking forward to ALL these videos..
Boss lady is a trooper to follow you 2 on these adventures! I think a nice week in the Bahamas is in order
I agree , she the smart one sitting back & looking pretty.
This is a vacation compared to raising kids😂
How skinny these suspension parts are. I know these cars were simple body on frame constructions and most were built on the same platform for decades, but it still amazes me that you can get parts for these vehicles. We have a 1963 VW Beetle, 6 Volts! It has been impossible to find a starter for 30 years. I was able to fetch one from a Type 3 (the VW "Station Wagon") but now most guys swap the electrics for a 12V system. EDIT: I love the Summit guy!
Will you share with the fans the costs of all the parts for the build? It would be nice to let home builders understand the budget costs for a partial rebuild like the 57
It probably differs from area to area, store to store, so pricing wouldn't be accurate.
Plus, since this is a collab with Summit, Robbie probably gets a discount... or for free.
@@jilbertb I'm sure he's asking for retail costs.
@@jilbertb All parts are from Summit, said thousands of time, so they can publish the prices of the parts used in the video easily.
I know it's not exact, but Robby said "$1,000's of dollars in parts".
@@garyg2882 from my 68 camaro rebuild i spent 15-18k to get it running for drivetrain and suspension. then came paint, interior and detail parts. lol
I'd love to see this car named Lock Jaw. So much rust.
The Lockjaw name has already been used by Bankspower on their SEMA truck build.
@@garygardner9677 thanks
Subbed to Summit.
They have some really good content!
The Boss again is the voice of reason!
Now this is awesome. A quick simple runner in no time. Just goes to show you what $$ and people can do.
When i was getting my 69 c10 going. A majority of the parts came from summit. During corona even. Most places were 2+weeks minimum, summit i had 4 days later
This reminds me of my dad and his 72 f 100 we put a complete rebuild of the truck in a three months and we put a race car engine in it and great video keep up the good work God bless from GA and stay safe
Crazy the things you don't think about never imagined summit had a CZcams channel I can't think of why
I would love to get in there with my welding gear and get those holes gone….👍
Congratulations on your CZcams Award. Keep up the great job you and your team are doing..Love you guys.
Brings back a lot of memories. I had a '57 Chevy Bel Air sport coupe after I got out of high school. It was 1962 and I paid $1095.00 for it from Baher Chevrolet in Manhattan Beach, CA. It seemed like a lot of money then because I was only making $1.45 an hour at a Union 76, (Unocal) later, gas station. I could kick myself for ever getting rid of it, but who knew. Great series. Love your channel.
Interesting , A big Thank You to Summit Racing and the team
I've been a ford man all my life, but the 50s were good years for gm!! I did have a 52 pontiac chieftain w/flat 8! Might have kept it if it was a 12 volt LS system with a posi rear!
Can't wait to hear it running, great video guy's.
It's kinda like the Ghostbusters mobile when they first got it.....all it needs is, transmission, engine, brakes,muffler,steering wheel,clutch,tires,brakes,suspension, shocks,seats,heater,windows, driveline,axle,.wipers, heater, body panels, fenders, ........
We can see how this rebuild is coming along! I love it! I love seeing how a lot of company's are keeping the classic cars and trucks alive! I hope this restoration get fully restored! This 57 at one time was a beauty, and deserves to be restored to what it once was! Til next time, take care, and we'll see you on the next...
57 Chevy LS “Light Speed”
That’s the nickname for the car and how fast you’ll be driving it back to Utah.
Use to work at Summit Racing in Tallmadge Ohio back in 1986. It was two separate warehouses then, quit after two weeks. Kinda regret it now. Can't wait for the finished build Robby and Hillbilly 👍
Back in that time frame, 86 , you couldn't get to the store with a semi truck , so we parked on the berm of rt 76 and crawled under the fence .the sales guy would follow you out of the store to hold up the fence for you and help you load up . Good times !
@@tomsisk6811
Do you mean Rt. 18?
Summit was adjacent with I-76.
Try fetching tires from one building to the other building in the rain, no fun.
Love it robby can't wait to see you paint it and take it to seama
Saving a Classic ! Fantastic ! Thanks for sharing !
Totally enjoying this build
I am questioning frame stability.
Was on my way to Corydon Indiana and saw this car on 64 west 15 minutes from my destination. That was really cool wish I could have met you all.
Fav Chevy year! Would love to see this gem shine again
Keep up the good work love watching you on CZcams Robby I enjoy it a lot
Well it's beginning too look like a chevy each and every day, and the people that we meet, say hooray....😁👍nothing like Christmas in summer.... can't call it a f.o.r.d. anymore, well almost anyway. Have a good week and count your blessings amen.
is it only me who notices a more confident Hillbilly not mincing his words as much, and that smile
That's amazing teardown and rebuild in such a short time...thx to Summit Racing.
did you read instructions...Hillbilly "I done did that", GOLD.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man. WHAT, A. TEAM!! That last shot of all 4 of them standing together. Powerful picture. And right before that, Robby, was going over all of the thousand’s of dollars they spent on the car. “THE UTAH-4 is what I’d call it!!! `
Good morning Robby watching new videos you upload is a great way to start my day.
I really enjoy listening to the boss her commentary is hilarious and very accurate anytime a guy reads instruction you should be concerned. Normally a guy will wing it and hope for the best and screw it up before reading instructions.
I have subscribed to Summit racing on here I am waiting for them to upload the motor installation video.
Good job!! You guys are doing a great job getting all the rusted and no good parts off and replaced with new ones!! Still got some ways to go but you got a good start!!!
Looking at the Chevy Advertisement for the 1957 Model Bel Aire - the terms: "Sweet Smooth and Sassy" were used! Call it that!
Cool video, and the Summit dude is cool too...love the energy!
Hillbilly’s shoulders are broad, he lets it slide off like rain water. He knows you know, that he knows. Great team work.
Here in the Netherlands we call it a elephant. A cherriepikker is wath they use in big warehouses to get stuff from a high story. Love what your doing btw.
Robby I just finished watching Summit Racing video and yours the other day. Absolutely awesome videos. You two work so well together. The 57 sounds awesome. Keep up the good work and you'll be on your way home soon.
This is a great series, realized what I have done correct in the pass, what I should of done differently. You made a difficult task look easy.
Yes, this was fast and good work, nice to see it complet now!
Name for 57 Chevy ... Maybelline ! This is what Chuck Berry named his Cadillac De Ville in his famous Rock n Roll song that came out in the 60's... Music please ... Maybelline, why can't you be true... Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true... You just thought about doing the things you used to do ! If you know the song then you know it was written for this sweet Chevy ! If you listen to the song you'll be hooked and I'm confident this is her new name... From one Robbie to another Robbie !
Great summit made it all possible fot you guys good entertainment
Very good. Like these kind of builds.
Pinion angels should be set while the axle is under load,,,I.e ride height guys...
✌️👍🇬🇧
Being from Akron, seeing all the Summit Racing love is awesome!!! Wish we knew you were here :/ !!!
You know what's odd is. Since i was a child I always wanted to goto Summit. I used to just look through there catalogs and dream. Now, I like like an hour from it, and still never been there. I always said when I could afford to do a real build, I would just go there for the day and get everything I need. Hopefully soon before i get too much older.
I am a Sub of Summit .
Love your videos...so fun to watch.
I love the 57 Chev rebuild.
You never stop with the new projects. Keep up the quality aoriste my mans.
I love Hillbilly even more FORD standing his ground!
`57 siting in Booneville, Mo, great seeing you guys be safe
Really enjoy watching this thing develop. Guess it will take another year or so for Robbie to get the body done when it gets "home".
its good to see parts. its coming alone well. keep up the great craftsmanship an hard work. fab on. weld on. keep making. god bless.
my favorite car in the entire world is a 57. the 56 and the 55's fins dont surf like the 57 does .you and merlin both with the 57. cant wait to see what you and summit end up with. gunnna be awesome!
i want this sweaty 57 chevy! what an awesome build! I love it!
Hillbilly loves the hammer best tool in the shop
Those Saginaw transmissions were bad a$$. Had one in my 67 Olds 442. Only shredded it once when I missed a power shift. My bad! Had it rebuilt, installed new clutch, throw out bearing, new U-joints, and Hurst shifter. Did all that for less than $200 (1971). Wish I had that one back.
Went over to Summit Racing Video and watched the engine and trans assembly. Only 454 likes. Come on Robby Layton Nation, Lets blow up Summits channel because they are really stepping up to the plate for Robby and the Channel !!!!
name it The Ole Gray Whale
I had one in the 70's, bought it for $750, I put a 67' 327 4 bolt Vet engine it it. Wrinkled the roof at the rear window from Banging the Clutch Street Racing.
The Pickle Green Monster!
Great fun series. You folks are always so positive. I dislike giving negative comments so I'll just say, judging from what we can see from the condition of the frame, I'd be real careful giving that LS the beans. You may end up with some kinda lowrider. Sparks a flyin' off the road.🔥🔥
Impressive work there guys
Your easily gonna have a million subs soon. Great channel!😀
Can’t wait for the next videos.
Im never this early looking forward to a great episode
Awesome build
Summit runneth....nice work guys!!😊
100 percent Hillbilly an apron guy, gits him well. looks like a blacksmith
Bella gets second chance at life!😊
They should call the Chevy... HillBelly...
It's always funny when watching someone try to put petrol into a '57 Chevy for the first time.
That is frightening to see all those rust holes in those rails with you planning a 2000 miles journey. When you get it back to RL base, are you going to lift the body off the frame and fix that frame at some point? Right now it has more holes than a tea bag.
AWESOME JOB EVERYONE!
Thank you Summit Racing
I feel your frustration, I had a crew chief, called Hillbilly, that also had that problem regarding the turds from Dearborn... My ancient successes came in GM, Toyota, or Jeep (RUBICON!!).. More recently on a Triumph competing in the Summit ET Bracket series at LVMS against a turd from Milwaukee, and 8- 10 second trailered monsters 13.0 @ 100 was good for 25% of the qualifying poles!
Watching your show right now
Ordered all new parts for a gmc pickup today, Parts will be here on friday.
I bet Hillbilly would be rockin' at a SEMA 24-hour build challenge.
Quite an undertaking
Hilbilly is right. 5.0 is on point. Best sounding naturally aspirated engine out there.
Really digging the build. Best way to eliminate the future issues is to replace the old ones. Good call on the fuel lines brake lines and all the suspension parts. That stuff was really going to disappoint you somewhere not far from Cleveland. Keep up the great content.
Safe travels!
