57 Tri-Five Chevy BARE METAL to PRIMER! 

I was 40 years old 30 years ago. Time goes by fast. Enjoy every second of it. Happy birthday Emily!

To hell with deadlines. Record what you do and post that. Even if it's lounging in the pool, drinking a sweet tea. 😊 Oh! Is Super kid going to do a build for her first car???

That really is the best way to restore an old car. Keep the kids involved they need to know how to do this. That's what my dad did with us.. awesome job you guys on the right track..from Vancouver Canada.. GB 🙏

Teaching the kid well. Describing what it feels like and what she should expect helps take a lot of the fears out of learning something new.

The Kid is killing it. what a great aunt and uncle!

Emily you speak the truth. I have had my '56 Buick for 38 years. It still isn't "done" and never will be. It is just more done than it was 38 years ago. I have been under, in and around every part of that car. So much so it is now a member of the family.

Happy Birthday. It's just nice seeing a youtuber actually strip and paint a old car instead of they pull it out of the weeds or trees and get it to run and move then say Patina and shove it back in the trees to finish rotting. I know it's not a popular opinion. I'm a 70's kid were you couldn't even enter a car in a car show if it was rusty and your hot rod was completed when the paint dried. Sorry if I upset anyone, it's not an opinion unless you express it.

Y'all are such a cute family!! The family that sprays together stays together! lol I loved watching y'all!

Take it from an old fat man , I've got almost 30yrs on ya . Enjoy life , and do what makes you happy . Time is fleeting , great video , loved that y'all are including the kid . She'll look back with fond memories of the experience with y'all .

Even though the " Kid" is your niece, she acts like she is yours and Aaron's daughter. You all are great parents! As well as aunt and uncle! Refreshing to see the Kid is respectful, and the willingness to learn, and wants to do the work! And adds alot to you alls video. 😊

I wish I had the opportunity to do stuff like this with my boys. You guys are giving the kid a fantastic experience

Look at the kid painting! So frickin cool! (BTW laughed put loud at 'bring back child labor.')

By doing what you are doing you are learning, but you are also teaching everyone watching at the same time. I have tried to do some of the things that you have done with limited success, after watching you do the things that I have tried (wrapping your corvette) I retried wrapping mine and I came out much better and easier after learning how to do it watching you both. Thank you for all you do.

I must admit I sped through your beautiful video. Because I’ve done this work so often and I do not want to say, oh you should have done this or that. I watch because it helps you guys out, but I like keeping my seeing things to myself. BUT SAYING THAT, cover all your tool boxes with plastic? My 2 cents. Many years ago I had purchased new boxes, left them open while I sprayed a candy apple Dodge Challenger……..To this day I walk in my garage and I see red……good memories but I cleaned red paint for a week off everything 🙄😁😂🤣love you guys. 👍

Listen, Arod and Em, nobody is rushing yall at all. Yall take your time when yall have what you need to upload, then do that. Don't let anyone know rush yall. I, for one, appreciate the fact that yall includes us in your lives.

Greetings from Malaysia… Suprised me that i can sit and watch this 1 hour video without noticing the time passed by. Great work by a great family. Eager to watch the next one…

this format and your production value is great. thank you.

When I paint my cars I sling the hose over my shoulder & around my neck it helps control the hose off the product . Nice work enjoying watching you all 3 . I getting ready to finish paint on my pickup but first need to repair exhaust manifold repair . Have a nice night see you in the next episode .

Picking an honest and highly skilled body shop would probably take a lot more time and energy than jumping in and doing it yourself! If you follow your heart doors will open for you that are not available to others. It was also a very smart move to pay the price for a very clean and straight project car! You remain the Super Dynamic Duo + The Kid! Congrats!

I was born Dec 6 1957!! These cars hold a special place in my heart. Awesome job!!!! Great videos!!!!!!!! I was a USAF aircraft mechanic for 24 years. HAPPY B-DAY Emily!!!!!!!!!

First of all happy birthday Emily, and you do not look 37 but 25.. And as I am 80 now your just a Kido HaHa . Love your channel, and I am sure that most of the guys will agree with me. We also watch it because your in the video's. Can't wait to see how this 57 chevy looks when its done, even though I am a Mustang and Sunbeam Tiger guy.

Im building my car one part at a time and slowly getting tools as i go. Im learning on my own to weld and do body work. More sense of pride I can say I did that on my own

It just dosen't take very long for Kid to get it going..major smarts !!

I hope y’all don’t mind some more comments about how awesome I think you are. Once again, I just love watching you guys, and this video really encapsulates the way I feel as well about doing things you’re passionate about and doing things you want to do regardless of what people want from you. Definitely, don’t rush the project on our account, I think I can speak for basically everyone when I say, we would definitely rather that you take your time, live in the moment, and enjoy every part of what you’re doing. We can wait for videos. I know you will, but keep being the awesome people you are, God bless.

Hi Folks, Great video and great progress. I like how you went with stripping paint over dipping and blasting. (I wonder with chemical dipping, how do they paint inside the rocker panels etc?) As for vibration with the D/A sander I wear two pair of bigger,(and maybe thicker) gloves and it helps with the vibrations. I really enjoy the process too, so have fun. Cheers Chris.

I have a friend who tried Evaporust for the first time on the bases of some oil filters that he got at a swap meet. They had some surface rust near the threads and the gasket surfaces. He soaked the bases over night and the rust is gone! He was amazed. I am going to invest some myself.

Well Happy Birthday hon. Cake and ice cream for you! You two are doing great with the 57. It's a real solid car. Preparation is the real work and the key to a great paint job. Spraying was always the best part for me. Each time I tried to lay it down better than the last one. Learn from mistakes and have a better result the next time. I am so glad you finally put some visqueen over those two other cars. I could just see some paint stripper or paint thinner splash landing on one or both of them. Ask me how I know.. You kids keep up the great work.

Old man tip, place a small air flow into your soaking pots, it's amaizing how much faster the parts clean up, ..you're welcome.

You know, in Houston if you strip a car today, it will be rusty tomorrow.Make the bottom of the hood look nice. No mat because the hood will always be up at the shows. Consider chrome for all the braces.

Everyone that watches your show appreciates watching you build this car. I wish I had the patience.

It’s so amazing you guys chose to do this yourself. This car will be awesome. Can’t wait to see the videos . Happy birthday and keep up the awesome work !

You are from the built not bought crowd HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

We all get to do Birthdays ? 1 Feb 47 so if you add both your ages, we are the same. Great entertaining and informative video. I have done a number of strip reprints and have used neutralizer so the chemical reaction stops and surface rust does not reappear. Happy Birthday Emily !!! This is the kind of rebuild we have been waiting to see. Take your time. Film it all....we want to see. Suggest all new rubber suspension parts while it is apart. This was fun. Thanks for letting us all tag along. Take care and stay safe.

So much amazing progress. You guys have such great motivation. I'm sure there are days where scraping that paint got really old but you kept going and it looks great. Can't wait to see it in final color. Keep on wrenchin'

This is a slow arduous process...but keep at it, the car is looking great,

Evaporust is so handy. And they sell it in 55 gallon barrels. So handy for cleaning out engine blocks. I just hooked up a transfer pump to block adapters a buddy 3d printed, then plugged the transfer pump into a timer switch that flipped it on for 5 minutes every hour and 15 min every 6 hours. When I scoped the block not a speck of rust.

It looks so good y'all! I bet y'all are so proud of the work so far! There is truly nothing like doing things yourself GREAT JOB!!! 👍👍 Love and hugs from Waco.😁

Love this! And don’t be afraid to do this longer videos

Happy Birthday Emily !! You guys are doing a great job on the 57!!Im an old body & paint guy and you are doing things like I always did we did not have the modern ways back then so good job!!

Will be nice build when done! Are u protecting that bare metal with anything? Rock on kids!!!

What a great job. Love the patient you’ll had with the young girl. She will remember those moments. This car is going to be a treasure. Love the video. Oh Happy Birthday.

My mom drove a 57. My uncle had a 56. My sisters boyfriend had a 55. I come from a large family with lots of aunts and uncles cousins etc. The amount of classic cars I grew up with is amazing. The list is just crazy when I think about it. I rode in some NICE cars when I was a little kid.

Happy Birthday Emily 🍻🎂🤙 it’s a lot of work on your 57 but it’s the closest thing I have ever seen to a EZ restoration 😂👍 Plus I really like the longer video

Always look forward to your latest videos. This is neat you are showing start to finish. Got a look forward to after paint. That will be a blast. Glad I saw Emily on a peak commercial. Got to see Aaron and the sparks garage. Better than regular tv shows!

Much joy to you both… I love the cats looking at your work and owning the garage …..

What a labor of love! Had my eyeballs hooked on this project from the beginning. So glad you are doing a total strip restore-this beauty deserves the best, from the best, and you are bringing it!❤

the 57 chevy was my first car,a 2dr htp 283 v8 with 3spd on the column.I was 16.I am 79 now and have owned 8 57s,obviously i love them.good work guys.

Happy birthday Emily and I repainted my grandfather's 73 Ford pick up it was a almost year process of sanding and body work I done all the work by my self and I was only 17 years old the engine and Trans work I had some help from my step dad, great video keep up the good work God bless from GA and stay safe

A bit of dawn dish soap in your final rinse will eliminate that chalk when it dries

Thanks for the great video. I'm learning a lot of good tips. I have a 66 Nova coupe that needs stripped or blasted. Leaning toward buying the blasting and painting equipment soon. I'm glad the kid is homeschooled. I have two in their 20's who were homeschooled and I don't regret that decision.

Might be "Water under the bridge" now, but use a little Baking Soda & water 2 or 3 tablespoons to a gallon of water To Neutralize the remnants of the acid bath. Plain water Won't Neutralize the acid. It doesn't take much baking soda at all to neutralize it. Go back over it Fairly quickly with a damp towel or you'll have a chalky residue of the soda. Get it dried fast or rust will develop. Helps Promote the primer adhesion also. --- Retired from a 26 year Paint Lab stint. Just Sayin' lol -- Happy Belated Birthday

Happy birthday! Yes, time passes you by real quick. We have four daughters and two sons, and now three grandchildren. Just turned 55 last November. Really weird knowing I can now order off the senior menu! 😳 LOL 😂

This is such a awesome series! I am especially enjoying it as my daughter and I are currently working on our own family Tri-Five project, a '55 210 two door sedan.

Happy B-day Emily 🎂! I'm 69 years old and if theres one thing that life has taught me is Nothing Is Free.🤔🚜 You go guys! What ratio do you have in Roxy's differential and did you change it after getting back from Drag Week a couple of years ago?

Hi!!! One thing u guys can learn from me!!! Do NOT work 350 hours a month...Thats dangerous! Dont ask me how i know...Happy birthday Em enyoy your day the best you can😍

This is a great build! The kid is either growing like a weed or I've been watching y'all longer than I thought.

Please remove the DENTS on the Finder,s and Hood While it,s Easy to get to , Looking to good to not fix Theirs a Kit that you put a drop of Glue on a disk pad ,let it set up screw Down a screw and it pop,s the Dent up Very little Spot Putty ,sand down never worry about it , Like a Hot Glue Gun? Sorry I cant stand dents

I was paint and body.man for years. The yellowing after you wipe down with water , is rust starting instantly. Just appears to take awhile to come out. To keep from happening , all you do is use Lacquer thinner, to do Final wipe down . Instead of water.... The water is the problem. Try on a small section and you will see the difference when dry . Happy Birthday...

When are you going to pull the Dent,s , have you tried the spot glue puller ? tighten it down till it pop,s the dent Then put on primer ? HAPPY BIRTH DAY! EMILY

Happy Belated Birthday and the 57 is looking very well done. Amazing outcome. God Bless.

I feel your pain , I did the same thing to a 56 Chevy back in the 80's , aircraft stripper in 100 degree heat for days , If I remember correctly we washed the car with baking soda and water once we got it to bare metal to neutralize any stripper that may be imbedded in the metal on it , car came out nice , learned it all from a man that restored hi $ brass era cars , keep up the good vids , New subscriber here

Love it can't wait to see your beautiful finished product ❤️ love you guy's come to the Syracuse Nationals N.Y this year ❤️

You guys are killing it… That car looks amazing …. Of course you picked a good one to start with. I can’t wait to see what color or colors you go with. It’s good to see you guys making special memories for the kid too. That car will be special to her forever

Awesome explanation on why you didn't get the car dipped. Yes, indeed you get more content showing the entire process. Excellent. I was wondering the yellowing is that because you didn't have ph balancer to clean it off? The Water being neutral wouldn't be enough to balance the ph on the metal. Great work.

Nice job on the 57, I have a 55 for many years my 1st High School car.Just a note as you both reflected on your age. My beloved oldest brother who will turn 87 in a few days.He told me recently with a smile our casing gets old but we are the same young at heart & inside all our lives...Glenn

Thank you very much for doing this old school. It’s all I can ever do, so it’s good to see it. You both rock.

My Saydee pup enjoys watching for cats in your videos :-)... y'all got a lot done in this video B-)

Why can't y'all get it done like Alan Jackson did on the video Someday he had that thing done in one verse of a song😂

I am loving this build. this whole process. One phase of this rebuild I am looking forward to is A wiring harness being put into this car. (electrical nerd)

Looks Marvelous. The kid is a good worker. A really fun video to watch. Can't hardly wait for the next one.

The Shorts are like snacks before the meal, they hold the hunger at bay. Plus the Shorts were funny and a lot of fun.

I just love your videos, they are so informative especially this build because my second oldest brother owned a 55 and my oldest brother bought a 56 Bel Air white and turquoise when it was only two years old and was passed down to my mom and then to me! 😊

Very happy you decided to strip it yourself, instead of dropping it somewhere. More videos, and more DIY!

Happy birthday Emily was wondering why you guys weren't sandblasting what you said makes sense take time and pride ausome job😊

When my sister passed away I inherited her 71 Malibu coupe. I was married at the time so suggested we find another one for her for "his & hers" Malibu's at car shows. The one we found was a roller that someone had put a battery on the trunk shelf that had spilled acid. There was a huge pile of white "stuff" from the acid reacting with the steel. The acid had seeped into all the little cracks in the detail parts welded behind the rear seat and no amount of pressure washing or rinsing with baking soda & water would stop it. The surface tension of the soda water kept it from penetrating into those cracks. A quick check of the design handbook found that ammonia (easily found and low surface tension) would do the trick and it did. Although it is also corrosive, it's not nearly as bad as the acid and 20 years later no problems at all. I've never had a problem with phosphoric acid as long as you get it off any surfaces you want to paint. (Mine did the yellowing too but was never an issue - I always gave it a scuff right before the epoxy and never had an adhesion problem. (Not making recommendations - just sharing my own experience from many years ago!). Looks awesome! Great job everyone! We used to say try to avoid "paralysis by analysis" LOL!

What a joy watching you all (y’all) do your work. Especially nice to see “the Kid” working with you. Happy birthday Emily! You both are very beautiful and talented. I am 76 so I could be your grandfather. Keep up the good work! God bless and keep you all!

Your analogy regarding your plane is spot on, keep up the great work.

Emily, the "kid" is sure growing up fast. I remember when she was still pretty much a toddler.

Looking awesome! I have a 48 chevy pickup I'd love to do that to. Looking forward to see how the rest goes.

That’s such a nice car to start with, definitely worth all the efforts. I agree with you guys about doing it yourself, I’m not rich and I hate paying someone to do something and it not coming out to my expectations. I had my trans am media blasted and the guy destroyed the factory hood, too warped to fix when he was done

I would love to see you guys turn the 57 in to a Black Widow. That look with a brutal Big Block and maybe a Lenko transmission? Or just a really beefy 4 speed Rock Crusher. Ok..that's what I'd build. I GUESS you guys can build whatever YOU want...but still. A Black Widow would be kind of bad @ss.

in Canada because of weather here is BC we use for blasting we use corn starch it will not rust flash , i saw priming em next time throw hose over your shoulder and line will not get in your way . so try that . but what did with stripper work too.

Big fan of all your builds but this one is going to be really nice to see up and running. Such an iconic car, glad it’s in the right hands best of luck with it 👍🏻

Cool video like the way you showed your niece how to clean and paint panels, life time memories, hot rodder in training. Happy birthday 🎉 . Old chevys never die just get a new paint job n a new heart .

if you ever get a chanse to have a car dustless blasted and coated with there coating it is amazing but i getting doing it your self. happy birthday!!!

Another Feb birthday here, turned 69 on Sunday. Happy birthday Emily.

Love your new style and attitude.

The reward of this project will last forever. You guys have an awesome channel. Not just inspirational but I’m getting up in the years , 60 this year and I love watching you guys doing what I grew up doing. If you can find a 3m accuspray gun to lay the paint down you won’t regret it.

from start to finish ,it takes time with a build such as this. so please take your time in this 57 rebuild .the people that you bought this car from , i know that the man will just love just how his 57 turned out as well as his family and friends , good luck!

I have a tip I'm not sure anyone else has said it. Take the air hose and put it over your shoulder it keeps it behind you so you don't get it in your work.... 👍😎

Are we enjoying it? It is a privilege to be able to watch bringing back to life of the 57. Looking good. Keep up the great work❤

It's really neat to see ya all doing it the right way, lots of work in it in the end you will have something you will be proud of and show us all what's involved

Love y'alls videos. Rockingham North Carolina watching

Hey guys just wanted to let you know that white vinegar will do the same thing as your rust remover if you want to save money!😉

I love the content and the long episodes the best you all are freaking awesome and I think your mom is hot too oh wow😊

teaching kids to do these things, is so important, my daughter starting working on cars with me before 10 yrs old. now she manages an auto body shop.

I like it ,anyone can pay someone else to do the work. Getting hands dirty is much better

Best to always keep DA sander flat. You will see why when you put the finish on!

You all are awesome teaching that young lady how to work on cars❤

I absolutely love watching this channel!! Keep learning and teaching the rest of us!! I can’t wait to see how this 57 turns out!
