My 1955 Chevy 210 built in Van Nuys , Ca.
I was born and raised there.
My dad worked at the GM plant from 1959 to 1994.
Video is my journey from the day I purchased the car to the modifications and other repairs.
Car is still in process as I work it Tuesday and Thursday every week after my real job.

I never knew you could buy the B Pilar or the tops of the quarters that's really good to know my best friend was doing a frame off on his 55 and he had this car acid dipped hear in Louisiana the chassis was 100% complete all the body work was done the car was ready for paint he still had the car at his father in laws storage building and he was getting ready to bring it home to paint and a tornado went through new Orleans east and destroyed the building the car was in and a I beam from the roof of the building fell across the roof of his car . He brought me to look at it and he wasn't even that upset he told me he was going to take a port a power and jack the roof up and see if he could get it straight I'd been sick he said just a Lil bump in the road.. lol your going a great job

I didn’t know either until I stumbled upon them. I was going to chop up and piece it together from the four door. I started to do it that way. I don’t know if it was for the better, if I could go back I would just use the windows and do it like Japhands did.

I agree with the other comments that the floors are in good shape. I had to replace floors in my 57 in 1968 ( before they reproduced them) and they were pretty rusted out. Some of the 210s and 150s came out with rubber floor mats from the factory and they were a nightmare when it came to rusting the floors out. They would hold moisture in and cause a lot of damage. A lot of owners would wash them out with the water hose back then which didn’t help matters. The ones with carpet floors lasted a lot longer because the moisture could evaporate. Good job on the door deletes. 👍
@theunravelers3995
@theunravelers3995 Год назад
All in all the car was in very good shape, all interior was removed as it sat, no carpet or headliner. I’m sure that aided in slowing the rust. Thanks about the door deletes, one side is gonna need a bit more fitting to the door. Thanks for watching!

I really appreciate the compliment, I had a ‘57 when I was 19. Marriage, kids, life took over. I finally found myself in the position to take on a project like this , with enough skill acquired from working. By all means I’m no fabricator like say Japhands is, this project (at least the sheet metal part of it) has been challenging. I’m trying to find the time to get back to working on it, I’ve been slammed at work and I’ve been finding myself writing music with my spare time. Thanks again!

@stomper2582 Год назад
Not to be critical, as you were, but rot is deterioration of organic material. Rust would be the deterioration of metal which is inorganic material. Sometimes rot can get congested in the drains and gutters and hold water and moisture causing rust. That is why it’s important to keep your factory automobile gutters and drains clean.

​@@theunravelers3995 I am wondering when you are stich welding in your new metal, do you stop before the spots add up to 100 percent weld around perimeter of you patches? I don't have any issue converting any 4 door into a 2 door. It's a custom car right? Good work.
@theunravelers3995
@theunravelers3995 Год назад
@@jimw6991 hi Jim, I do a series of tacks, until they ultimately become a full weld. A lot of tack and force cooling to minimize warping, hammer and dolly and then planishing. After grinding the weld down you will see pin holes that you will need to hit with the welder. You always want to complete your welds on sheet metal because when you add your body filler moisture does not get trapped behind it. There’s alot of vampires out there that will tack weld a patch panel in and then fill it with body filler or fill up dents with filler or some other horrendous hack. I hope this answers your question properly And thank you

I am delivering a sermon to you 🙏😊 please read Consistently Pray for forgiveness, guidance in a good (positive) direction, and for help against evil. Pray to be saved from hell (whatever that may be). Pray for your friends and your family too, it only takes a minute or so/less at a time to pray. Do it and your life will slowly get better, or maybe quickly. It probably just depends on you and the kind of person you are/have been. Don't wait until its too late and you have to suffer the consequences of built up bad karma from immoral acts/unrepented sins. Maybe together we can help make the world a better place by changing ourselves for the better, and changing things around us for the better. And addressing/thanking the CREATOR, LORD GOD at the beginning and end of your prayers would be a good idea 😊 Or just be my friend if you don't want to say the prayer 😄 I'm trying to help you get right with the LORD 🙏 Amen. I have worded a short prayer for you to say if you are not sure what words to use, it may not be the best but here it is 😊 '' CREATOR, LORD GOD, Please forgive me and my friends and my family for our immoral acts, please help guide us in a positive direction and please help us against evil. Please save us from Hell and have mercy on our souls. Thank you CREATOR, LORD GOD. Amen. '' Please say this at least once a day for at least a month, do it longer if you want to and can 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 You should prostrate yourself if you don't want to do spoken prayer, or do both 🙏😊 Please worship the LORD GOD and not any idol. Please put your hands together 🙏 bow your head and say this prayer: "CREATOR, LORD GOD, please know that I worship you and not any idols. Thank you for everything CREATOR, LORD GOD. Amen" Say ' Om Namah Shivaya ' out loud or in your head 108 times, or try to do it 1008 times 😊 try to do it everyday if you want repeat this aloud for as long as you want to, try to do it for like an hour a day or say it in a prayer "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner" You can also say this prayer once a day or repeat it aloud as many times as you would like to: "Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen." Thessalonians 5:16-18 "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." Philippians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." "O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You!" Repeat this aloud at least 3 times or as many as you want, do it everyday if you can I apologize for all the words 😊 I know how it may look
