it astonishes me that a 57 Chevy can be ignored and neglected at all, but this blows my mind, this one has been left to rust since 1993

What started as a restoration project in the early 90s, quickly turned into a "store it and wait" project as the owner fell on hard times. Now over 30 years later, and a LOT of rust, and a supporting beam falling on it, you tubers pulled it from the collapsed Ohio barn

 It cleaned up really well, but they didn't stop with a good washing. They tried to get it running, but failed. It's a 4 spd, small block
