What someone did to the mobile home, someone should do with the ‘57 Chevy ... do the same thing with modern materials.

I own and drive a 57 Chevy.. Built like a brick outhouse. As I restore it, I like the engineering more and more. I also have a 67 Camaro, not nearly as solid. And forget the new cars, can’t work on them at all.
In some ways I’m doing what you suggest. The one weak spot is the brakes and I am about to replace the fronts with Wilwood discs. The engine and transmission are early 70s 350 small block and Th350 tranny. But with a magnetic pickup distributor, headers, the new Edelbrock carb with an annular venturi, and roller rockers it runs like a top. Plus, everyone loves to talk about and it is huge inside.
Sorry to vent, but yes, you are correct.
