Hier mal eine Vorstellung meines Autos, habe die Historie mal auf Englisch verfasst da diese für ein amerikanisches Forum gedacht ist:
Tom Matthew / Gary Wisner 1957 Chevy „Low Life“
1st version done by Tom Matthew of Matthew's Garage in 1987 in purple / white paint with 6.5“chopped white vinyl roof, skirts, dummy spot lights, bomb sights in hood filled, twin sunken antennas on rear, moulded grille surround and removed door handles. Lowered 4“ by cut coils front, blocks rear.
2nd version done by

in copper paint with white vinyl roof, seen on a video of the KKOA Sled Scene East from 1992. Owned by Danny Rohrbach.
3rd version done by
in
in copper paint with black vinyl roof
4th Version bought by Gary Wisner (owner of „Louvers By Wiz“) in 1994 in copper paint with black vinyl roof. Bought from Clyde
?? from Reading, Pennsylvania. Clyde had no garage, car suffered from being outdoors all the time. Added electric door openers, hood louvers. In the fall 1996 to spring 1997 he did the rest: 53 Merc headlight rims, 175 Louvers in hood (done by himself, layout done by his wife), moulded lake pipe shrouds, Caddy taillights and moulded rear quarter chrome trim, new paint and restyled dash panel with VDO gauges. The dash panel was done with fiberglass cloth and resin, with exhaust tube to house the gauges, then finished with duraglass. It took over a year to get it like he wanted it. Work on it, cut it apart, start over. New wheel covers are 1955 Buick with 1955 Olds accessory spinners.
He attended the Gettysburg Pa show from 1987 until it ended in 2014. The 57 Chevy was shown at 69 different shows and cruise Ins.
„Low Life“ was given that name by his late wife and the etching was done by Kokomo from New Jersey at the KKOA show in Gettysburg PA.
