Please don't ever stop showing the details of what you guys do it's much better than a start-and-finish

@ctged 3 месяца назад

I have an alternative, you could use Howling Wolf for the paint job, since he's more of a classic car painter than Robby, and he could do with some extra viewers.

This find is definitely a diamond in the rough just like Paul's Firebird both with so much potential. I don't think people realize how rare it is to find a very desirable car like this in such remarkable condition. The chances of anyone getting their hands on an all original unmolested 55 Chevy with all steel panels intact is almost unheard of.

Watched this couple days ago and then came back to check out the comments. Was astonished at all the hate comments on the different painters. So I came up with a solution. I'm on my way to Sherwin Williams to get some paint and a few brushes. Will be there as soon as I watch some videos on how to paint. Problem solved. Decided not to read comments again. Y'all still rock.

Howling wolf and he’d have Robby’s blessing. Cause Robby is a great guy. And would pick it apart in another fun video.

@NathanCEnyart 3 месяца назад

I agree Howling Wolf would do an awesome paint job. I know Robby Layton can do it also. Guess it depends on mileage to their shops and which one has time to do it. I would trust either one of them

@bripslag 3 месяца назад

Hector at Howlin' Wolf is a great guy and all, but his paint jobs don't compare to what Robby's shop can put out. One is a guy in his garage with a spray gun, the other is a top-notch paint and body shop with state of the art equipment and facilities. The job Hector did for Rory on on Ol' Blue was perfect for a tow truck working the trails of Moab. A '55 Chevy hot rod deserves something better than paint from Tractor Supply.

@jimedge8301 3 месяца назад

Paul ,looks like you need some help building custom exhaust,I wouldn't of used the " X" pipe ,you probably should of just ran normal duals ,then about 14 to 16 in towards the rear put a " H" tube to tie it in . Probably would be less rattles and clearance.

@STEEL-IN-UT 3 месяца назад

The 55 that ran at Round-About never had exhaust/radiator clearance issues and boy did it sound good,,, almost as good as the wide front tires dancing side to side as the cars danced at 70mph with the "cow-catcher" bumpers. Those were some great days🎉😊

@dalemullins4562 3 месяца назад

I kept yelling," turn them out!" ....aaaaand you did! It'll help blow the tire smoke away from the inside...when you do that big smokey burnout

@Druid_Plow 3 месяца назад

18:05 A trick I've seen some guys use in this kind of setup is a transmission jack with a pipe on it. Works like an extra hand to hold up one side, and can set a desired height before welding anything. I've also seen wooden shims used in the joints with similar effect.

Suggestion for the air filter situation. Don't know if any exist for your motor, but you could get an air intake with the throttle body that is located on top instead of the front. Make it a bit nicer to work on, and if it dont fit under the hood, you can just add a hood scoop.

The '55 is turning out GREAT! One humble request: you're SOOO close to having a significantly nice car, once it's completely together completely disassemble it and finish it inside and out, top to bottom, front to back. Make this a "complete" car and it'll have so much more appeal and value! Show the critics you can finish a car to a high standard.

There's not nearly as much room under that 55 for all the "stuff" as there is under a lifted 4X4. It's always amazed me that they make the cut-outs with the muffler straight when the ideal would be cut-out straight so flow is smoother.

I am curious as to what color and paint style you will choose I’m sure it will be great what ever it is. My 2 cents I would make it black with white and blue flames from the front or regular red 🔥 flames looks good too. But hey it’s Paul’s car I’m sure he has a paint scheme In mind already and it will be great. Keep up the good work.

To check clearances under the hood n such use Tinfoil loosely roll it in a 3-6" diameter role and place where your worried about it (can tape in place with painters tape) then close the hood press down lightly past closing point and the tinfoil will compress to whatever space is left then you know exactly what you have!
