We're at it again!
I got an end of year deal on a pretty solid tri five Chevy. The only problem? It was yellow, a 1956 AND A 4 DOOR!
Luckily when Mr. Chevrolet designed the 1955-57 cars, he made the roof, body length and glass all the same. The only difference between a 4 door and a 2 car are the length of doors and where the door post is located. Everything else is just filling in holes with sheetmetal.
So buckle up and watch me hack up this old hot rod in a HURRY!

Nothing is nicer than a Canadian 2ish door Pontolet. I enjoy these videos likely because so many 50s/60s American sedans were still on the road in my youth. I used to look at them (like the 49-51 Fords etc.) and think as a kid I knew a secret that the drs and 4drs where basically the same bodies and someone with the talent could 'fix' the 4 doors and make them cool. years later it looks like I was right...but it really wasn't a secret!

@rcpaulsen 9 месяцев назад

I love your videos because we approach projects the same way - start with a vision in your head and then figure out how to make it a reality piece by piece. The greatest motivator for me is when I tell someone what I want to do and they tell me it can't be done. I've given up on using a floor jack for removing and installing doors. Now I use a pair of ratchet straps either wrapped around the roof or over a ceiling joist.. Having one at the front and one at the rear makes it easy to get the door perfectly level.

I remember when I was young and my father had a 69 Falcon BBF 390 and the neighbor across the street had a Iroc and a Boss 427 mustang. I memorized as many cars as i could and to this day can name makes, models and usually get them right or within a few years. I wonder if this would be possible on a 4 door falcon. If I find one for a good price I might have to have Dan work some magic for me. Love the video!!

Dan, When you had the yellow door skin over the Pontiac upper sheet (where the back doors used to be) instead of marking a line to find where you’re cutting, just cut a straight line through the yellow door skin AND the Pontiac sheet at the same time. Perfect line every time because you cut them together.
