Description of 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air/150/210 Bel Air

Bought car about 10 years ago.
It came out of Wisconsin.
Have clear ownership papers.
Frame off restoration started - frame is painted already!
Upgraded to New disc brake system (front only).
Upgraded to a factory power steering system.
Have original steering column (standard) - will need modifications to hook up to the new power steering system.
New Booster, ew master cylinder, ew gas tank, ew fuel lines and brake lines - front to back.
All New body mounts and floor supports.
Front floors were welded in before I got the car.
Has new rockers, ew quarters.
Rockers are NOT lined up 100% at the front, ut will be covered with the rocker molding.
(they are set in about 1/4 inch too far)
Drivers door bottom was replaced with new metal.
Body was striped down to bare metal and repainted - not a perfect job - some defects in the drivers door and rear quarters.
Car is back on frame and motor and tranny are mounted back in.
Needs all accessories put back on. (which are all included)
350 motor with 350 turbo tranny - not rebuilt but all new gaskets top to bottom. (Motor and tranny were tested before taken out of mid 70's car)
Have all new window rubbers and new red carpet.
All glass is good; all moldings, rim, umpers and other accessories are all there.
Chrome is all straight; the rear bumper corners are the only thing that has a fingernail size hole on the underside.
Chrome appearance is all reasonable - not perfect (some scratches)
Interior pieces are all there except the front seat. (have hundreds of used cars on the yard - purchaser is welcome to any seat that will fit the project)
Door panels are there to use as a pattern (the chrome trim is good)
Headliner supports are there and useable.
A lot of work has already been done to this car - but it still needs a lot more. All pieces are there!
These cars are getting harder to find. I have lost interest in this project. I have about $14,000 plus time invested in the car. I know I won't likely get full return but would like to get as close as possible. The car has a low reserve, lso the car is for sale locally - so I reserve the right to take it off of eBay at any time.
Anyone who lives close enough - is welcome to come and take a look at the car and all the pieces that go with it. For distant buyers - we will try to answer questions as best we can. Can do more pictures upon request. Feel free to call for more info Harv at 1-204-346-2201 or 1-204-355-9596.
DON'T bid if you aren't prepared to buy it. Serious bidders only please!!
