Projects My 57 210 2 door hardtop update

I vote for no qtr-panel inserts. I think you will have more fun with the car at shows, out in public, if you present it as the 210 it is. I have a '56 210 HT. I took it to a show about 10 years ago, and listened to some blow-hard tell his buddies Chevrolet never made a 210-HT, but that I or someone else had taken a Belair HT and dressed it down into 210 trim. Ohhh brother...

Being that the quarters are a little wavy, the insert could help straighten/hide a little....however Ive also seen only a straight piece of trim or a pinstripe hide or distract the eye as well in a big area like that

 

A body shop owner I once worked for called all trim, moldings, and emblems "camouflage". The more a vehicle had, the merrier he was.

 

Ok fellas, i went ahead and repainted my 57 210. Time to piece it all back together

Yea, leave the hood closed. Some things you can not un-see

 

Watch Out-The H.A.M.B. will give you 10 lashes with a serpentine belt!

Will you paint the inside if the quarter trim white?

 

I think i will leave it as is. I have seen that l before though, looks pretty cool.

Had one also. Was told in the tech line it was 400lbs less than a Bel-Air. Never did verify that. Sounds fishy and I've tried looking that un and still cant verify that it did. Anyone here know??

 

maybe if you had the Thriftmaster 6 and a manual trans!

 

34Larry, there is not that much difference in weight between a 210 and a Bel Air hardtops. Chevrolet lists the following shipping weights (no options) for V8/manual trans sport coupes: Bel Air....3274, 210.....3256. For comparison, a V8/ stick 150 2 door utility sedan (business coupe), the lightest Chevrolet in 57 except for Corvette, has a shipping weight of 3159. And as strange as it sounds, the 265/283 weighs less than the 235.

 

I have a 56 210 hardtop I like the 210s its your car do it how you like it I would leave the inserts out if it was mine

 

oh by the way cool car

 

Thank you, i appreciate it

It looks blue, but I like Seafoam green too. So anyway, MERRRRRY Christmas.

 

Nice........Hope to see you cruising it around town this summer. I love the 210 look with paint, no inserts. That'd look killer with black tires, steel wheels in body color and dog dish 'caps but that's just me.
I've had a few Bel Air hardtops and the extra trim really does help to hide wavy body work...case in Point is my old 57 Bel Air.

 

Are you trying to get this thread of yours deleted also like your other one.

 

Is that a shop vac turned on its side you got in there?
