Messing around with some A1 images this morning...I told it to make the 57 Chevy Surf Wagon into a boxed 1:24 scale model kit. Here's what it gave me 👇

Touching on some dress-up shiny stuff on the project '57.
Today, we installed the chrome hood Vee from Danchuk Manufacturing, and the chrome hood bar from Trim Parts, Inc.
Both pieces are USA made, come with fasteners, and fit just like the originals. 👍

In this edition, we are installing the new windshield and all related exterior trim. With a brand new windshield from JRD International of Montclair, CA, and a new rubber seal from Steele Rubber, Inc. we called on a local professional to handle the actual installation. With over 5000 cars on the books, we called Paul's Auto Glass. Paul and his son had it installed in under an hour.
The upper trim goes in WITH the windshield and the seal, so the remaining lower trim was left up to us. All 5 of the lower trim pieces were still intact, but with the typical rusty hardware. So, we hit up ebay motors and scored an Ol'55 hardware set from trusted seller I-5 Classic Chevy. It was somewhat of a puzzle, but we managed to get it all back in order again with a bit of patience and attention to detail.
What a difference to see this car with the front glass in!
Thanks for following along.

Our Story

My name is Kevin Williams. I have been an independent delivery agent for my favorite magazine, "Drive!" in the Southern California High Desert for the past 20 years. I established and maintain a clientele of about 150 retail locations where readers can find their favorite car magazine on a monthly basis, including local car shows as needed. In 2004, the former owner and founder of Drive! Magazine, Mike Calamusa approached me with the idea of taking my old family be**er to the pages of Drive! and doing a complete renovation with the full editorial support of the magazine and its resources. I loved this idea, put together the plans, and started my contact list. Three print articles have shown up in the magazine so far, but major staff changes and this little "recession" thing have resulted in delays beyond our control. The original completion goal was Sept 2007, the FIFTIETH birthday of the car, but to no avail. It was reset to Sept 1, 2011, and now it is again reset to march 1, 2019. I am determined to not let this project die. Please "Like" this page and follow along. Thank you for your continuing readership of Drive! We appreciate your support. -Kevin
