We were honored to put this heavily damaged 1955 Chevy back on the road in its original glory. The TriFive features an Art Morrison chassis and GM Performance LS3 engine.
We do pulls on the rear quarter panel, not to fix the quarter, but to relieve the tension in the metal prior to cutting the quarter off. You can see this process in action in this video: • MetalWorks Classic Aut...

The photography, the work and effort to fix this classic car is impeccable! The few guys who did the work were masterful! I'm glad we live in an age where restoring a classic like this is possible with available parts like new quarterpanels. Great job all around!

One of the best videos I have seen ! Especially to make a beautiful reconstruction of a seemingly bad wreck ! My first car at 20 years of age was a double nickel and to this day is my all time favorite ! Thanks again for the great video !

A whole lotta lotta tedious micro tugs using a system capable of tearing the entire ass off the car in any number of amusing sadistic methods.. Good times....Rockstar wages

Really beautiful work on a very beautiful car. I kept wondering if the insurance company of the car that hit it had to pay for that work and that had to have cost a lot to fix.

What would really suck is if it was an all original Belair never been in an accident until that one. Thank God for aftermarket parts right!🛠🇺🇸🛠

It a shame that that ole classic was hurt. Metalworks Classic Auto Restoration did a fantastic job putting her back to pristine. Drive her careful now please.

@chevelleranch7481 3 года назад

Nice end result! From the high caliber of work I have come to expect from you guys , I was really surprised that you put the new quarter on leaving the back side raw steel??? I find that hard to believe , but nowhere in your pics did I see otherwise.

Awesome work. What color blue is this called? Absolutely Gorgeous.

@docholiday1034 3 года назад

Insurance company loved that bill 🤣

@johndavey72 3 года назад

Very nice work indeed. I guess you had to repaint all the blue to ensure it was one colour. And preparation is everything . I've done similar work on countless classics over the years so l know what it takes . At 17mins 35 secs .Was that a Jaguar XJC in the background. Hope you don't mind but a couple of comments mentioned the amount of bondo , as you call it , on the quarter panel . I explained it was just a skim to finalise the shape as it was a reproduction panel. Great work and thanks for sharing.

@metalworksclassicautoresto9583 3 года назад

Thanks John...it is in fact a Jaguar, but I don't remember the exact model...it was a repaint for a local customer.

@davidolson9475 3 года назад

Wonderful job repairing the damage. Too bad they couldn't do something about the obligatory LS under the hood.

@rtp3962 3 года назад

Why aren't LS motors wanted? I've got a 69 Camaro with an LS2 and love it. Power, mileage options...

@davidolson9475 3 года назад

They're becoming 'belly button' engines, like the small block Chevy engine was previously, IMHO.

@josemacon7385 3 года назад

What kind of stud welder does your team use the pull dents?

@stoneyswolf 2 года назад

It's amazing how much damage happens to older cars when they get hit. I'm gonna guess that hit was under 35mph. Makes me ultra paranoid when I'm in traffic with my car with people these days on cell phones getting rear ended is more common now.

@jewllake 3 года назад

Nice! But can someone please explain why did they skim the new quarter panel in light bondo? Is that so they could block sand it and have it perfectly smooth? Did the replacement quarter have some imperfections?

@johndavey72 3 года назад

You're correct with you comment . The quarter is a reproduction and as such will not be as accurate as a genuine panel so although it looks to be a lot of filler "bondo " it's probably only an 1/8th inch / 2mm to make the panel perfect.

@pizzamagee6220 3 года назад

@jamesfarmer3759 3 года назад

No resistance welder there?

@brentmenier3442 3 года назад

Looks like kosher but when grinding as such the rest of the vehicle needs to be protected from all the metal flying all over the good painted areas...it causes filings to either pit or start a rusted outer spot ... same as rail dust

@johahnz 3 года назад

How many hours involved with this repair?

@chrisw422 2 года назад

@funnydee3 3 года назад

Why all the bondo on the quarter panel?

@docholiday1034 3 года назад

Lmao...how would you do it?

@johndavey72 3 года назад

Hi Larry. The panel is a reproduction so isn't quite accurate in shape so the bondo although it looks scary is only a fine skim to make that panel look perfect when painted.

@larrywoodruff7530 Год назад

No wonder body work costs a fortune

@1957kwick 2 года назад

That was kind of a butt clincher. they’re putting that front bumper on without any tape to protect the paint.🤣

@laketwelve 3 года назад

Cha-ching...

@1957kwick 2 года назад

I bet the money that was spent on the repairs on that one. You probably could’ve bought another car.🤣

@rogerwachal3718 3 года назад

fascistic job

@RS-lt2ue 3 года назад

There is one detail I can't get over with. Why will you fill a brand new quarter panel with bondo? If the panel is new and straight, there is no need for that. Sorry, but I can't take that or evenunderstand it. And there will be the ones who criticize my comment, but, I have done several myself, (in other words I know what I'm talking about).
