I've never seen a bel-air with that colour scheme before. Looks pimp man! She definately needs some bigger shoes though ;) If I were to build a bel air it would look similar to this, it has a real gangster feel with that sort of mat pearl white on that black. Although I havn't seen it in person, maybe get a different personality off the paint in person.
Nice ride though man, brave posting it around these parts! :P

That car is beautiful man! Loved the '57 Chevy's since I was little and got to watch my Dad's friend race one! :)

Looks nice man. I have a new appreciation for Chevy's

My dad was about 85% done his full restore of a 55 chevy handy-man wagon.... fully redone engine, 4 corner coilovers and disc brakes  about 40k+ into the car... to bad  he wont ever get to finish it.

I always liked the older "Shoe Box" Chevies, nicely done!  And Patrick Swayze drove one just like it in Dirty Dancing, so now we have to call you "Johnny"  :D

PS, it can't be numbers matching if it has a 350, as Chev didn't introduce that engine until over a decade later.  Fuely 283, for damn sure, but not a 350.

Is it the original style Rochester mechanical FI, or did you use tuned port from a Camaro etc?

What kinda tranny?
