American HotRod sometimes those guys don't know what they are talking about. They will say almost anything on that show because they are on TV.Boyd HotRods are nice to a certain point and then the go to looking like a Cheap plain Jane cheap out design.

NOT the 1957 Chevy was NOT over Ebgineered. Looks was in at that time. That is a prime example of American made car. New ideas were coming into play.

Well, Boyd's crew is used to 30s cars (well, those that haven't already quit or gotten fired), so compared to those, I guess it could be said it is over-engineered. Good thing they don't have to deal with anything newer than 1972, or they would really be out of their element.How do I set up a blue tooth phone on a 2004 BMW 645ci with idrive?
I didn't see the program, however i don't believe that a 57 chevy would in anyway be over engineered any more than any 50's car was. Cars in the 50's and 60's were built pretty stout, I'm assuming that is what they were talking about. They certainly were not very advanced by any means. There wasn't anything special about them in that aspect. A little 283 (although new for that model year) wasn't anything too earth shattering (although you could get it with fuel injection, which was a big deal at the time.)Where is the O2 sensor on a 1996 Chevy Corsica?
As for being overengineered, I'd have to say, no.

I had a '55 for 15 years, basically the same car. They are in no way over engineered. There's nothing complicated on shoebox Chevy's at all. Basically everything on the car comes apart just like you'd think it would. Those guys are just used to only reusing a body and replacing everything else.I wana put my 1995 Ford Ranger on a diet??
no way. i own a 57 chevy 150. same body as a bel air just a base model. i also had a 57 bel air. no way are they over engineered.It is actually under-engineered. They over built to add to the factor of safety since they were unsure. This is very common in older cars, buildings, bridges, machinery, etc. Most stuff designed now is optimized with little waste and room for screw ups. I think that 57 will be a great build.
