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.
Cool, that thing is going to be one BADASS unit with that LT engine, X-pipe and cutout exhaust and all of the other go-fast and work-right goodies! Good job guys!
Both steel and carbide tipped holesaw teeth can be sharpened. Same goes for drill bits, carbide and steel circular saw blades, router bits, etc. It's done by any if not all sharpening shops like ones used by custom wood shops get their saw blades, router bits, drill bits, hole saws, etc. sharpened for a faction the cost of new ones. ;)
Robby needs to paint the '55. With everything you've already done to her, she's smiling because she knows she will be beautiful. Badass and beautiful, a great combination.
You guy at fab rats are doing a great job on the 55 I enjoy watching the build take your time I want to see it done right 👍 so far it’s looking good. 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.
Probably my favorite out of the tri fives although the gas fill behind the taillight on the 56 is pretty cool. Looks good and looking forward to seeing some smokie burn outs...🤓
Paul if you use a fail safe thermostat it be like open so air can bleed out it may not be air lock compare one to a regular thermostat and ask Chad if that be the way to go they go bad they suppose to get stuck in the open position
As usual, a great video. Don’t know your color choice but the powder yellow (existing under the hood) with the white two tone paint scheme (as done in the factory style) would be beautiful. Also would make it a little demur to be a true sleeper.
What is the advantage of the X Pipe vs. 2 straight runs off the headers? Seems like the X Pipe adds complexity and puts it right under the driveline, when 2 straight runs would be easier to run. If there is a performance upgrade, is it worth the added fab complexity? Please help me understand.
Not to be that guy that criticizes, but I think I would have flipped the cutout Y so it ran/dumped on the driveshaft side of the normal exhaust. That way if you got stopped and a cop proceeded to look, it would have been hidden by the normal exhaust. (ie making it a little more stealthy). Just a thought.
Ask Hector (Howling wolf garage)!!! He’s a good dude, and Robby is super busy with his builds, racing in the Cletus events, etc. I’m sure Hector is busy, but I’m bet he would work you in!
Landon should remember "we do it nice 'cause we do it twice". The 55 is getting closer and closer all the time!! Won't be long now!! BURNOUT time is coming!!! 😁
Enjoy you shows and have been a loyal fan ever since the easy does it days but this build just seems like a nightmare of a car to service. One bad choice after another because there is no going back. That happens to every builder some times or another if you build enough. This one is just yours, learn from it and carry on my friend, we have all been there.
I'm not there, so I may not be seeing everything. But, it seems like the exhaust would have still been high enough and a lot simpler if you would have went under the trans crossmember. I'd be surprised if you don't replace rear trans seals a little more frequently. Sorry, hate to be an armchair mechanic...but I've built a few cars myself and just wanting to offer advice, not criticism. Your car, your design.
Robby needs to help Paul do the body work and paint it. Adding to the Fab Rats repertoire of skills. Would make a great collaboration and teach the viewers even more skills. Paul you have the team to do it yourself with some help from Robby. Then you'll be painting everything!
that old lead sled lookin hot rod just needs a set 18" black steelie rims for a test rip. Theyll look good and give it the moonshiner/early nascar vibes. ;)
I agree with your idea of having Robbie paint your car but only if he can have a large Robbie nation logo on the roof, fab rats on the door in the back trunk good representation of a team effort
It's coming along nicely. Having the 'cut-outs' aimed towards the side will help blow away the tire smoke so you can see if you do that ;) Plus, as @user-kf8qc7cx4n said,it'll keep you from setting in a dust cloud.
Robby Layton, you need to paint the 55 for Paul. You always do an Awesome job and we want it to look sharp. Thanks you both for all your content, we enjoy watching all you Utah youtubers.

Good to see Landon getting stuck in and he'll benefit from that and just spending time with dad.
Howling Woolf needs to paint this car ❤

Lookin good guys. Landon is gaining more confidence . Havin all those equipments helps out a lot. 😮😎
I think Hector is the man to paint this
You can tell when a man enjoys what he is doing. Making things more difficult with possibly more mistakes with out a look back 😎💪🔧🔧❤
Howling wolf and he’d have Robby’s blessing. Cause Robby is a great guy. And would pick it apart in another fun video.
Robby Layton, charge Paul triple when you paint his 55 Chevy. Add flames too.
Robby Layton needs to paint this '55! Love our Fab Rats!!
Cool, that thing is going to be one BADASS unit with that LT engine, X-pipe and cutout exhaust and all of the other go-fast and work-right goodies! Good job guys!
Paul you could have Rory's friend Howling Wolf paint the 55

Love it, the exhaust. One suggestion Heat shield for the tranz.
Glad you went with the side mount on the cutout dumps! Great choice!
Thank you for turning them out a tad,,,, keeps that burnout tire smoke out of the cab

Please don't ever stop showing the details of what you guys do it's much better than a start-and-finish
I see there are some other fans for turning the exhaust out, I too belive it'll create less dust.
Definitely have Robby paint that car. Can’t wait for blow tack and static
Very excited to hear that exhaust. Especially with the cutouts open…

good job!
Paul I feel your pain on the rad an rad hose an air filter I’m currently LS swapping. a 94 s10 an keeping factory gauges.
Great build.
😎 Blindness is better, said no one ever. When you are down to one, life gets really exciting. It's like gambling.
So I guess it's going to be tight then😊🤙🏾🤙🏾
I Just got my Fourth of July shirts in the mail, thank y’all do so much, I love what y’all do!
That would look so bad ass with Spoked wheels.
Probably my favorite out of the tri fives although the gas fill behind the taillight on the 56 is pretty cool. Looks good and looking forward to seeing some smokie burn outs...🤓
Paul as many drill bits you go though, I guy would wonder why you don't get a drill bit sharpener and have Hunter get to work on them!
Rob Layton should paint the '55 a really deep metallic black and hilite the lines in a deep purple.
Isnt this where Grandma Lolly comes out gives you guys precise direction?
Thank you guys
Robby Layton needs to paint the 55!
Paul if you use a fail safe thermostat it be like open so air can bleed out it may not be air lock compare one to a regular thermostat and ask Chad if that be the way to go they go bad they suppose to get stuck in the open position
Take it to house of perals in Central Ohio. Just watch some of there videos if you really want it nice and done right
Paul if you put the dumps pointed down its looks really cool on dusty roads or off road , a cloud of dust from underneath the car for and a mean sound
As usual, a great video. Don’t know your color choice but the powder yellow (existing under the hood) with the white two tone paint scheme (as done in the factory style) would be beautiful. Also would make it a little demur to be a true sleeper.

I got my made in America shirt !!
GREAT CAR! Born in 1955, Birth of Rock and Roll, Chevy Belaire, ....! GREAT CAR!
Me too in September! Great cars in our decade!

!!!!!!!!
Classic corvette rally from summit with flat caps..
Looking good guys 👍💯
Ask Hector (Howling wolf garage)!!! He’s a good dude, and Robby is super busy with his builds, racing in the Cletus events, etc. I’m sure Hector is busy, but I’m bet he would work you in!
Really looking forward to seeing what happened to the Hummer!
Looking good 👍
It's coming together nicely 👌
Robby's channel is the Saturday morning car show for kids...complete with ads every 30 seconds.
Forget the latch and use hood pins.👍👍👍
Check ith Robby on the wheels for the temp!
How pretty would that car be in gloss black! I think it would be gorgeous!
Seen a m3 half track?
Vice Grip Garage clear coat and nothing else. Preserve that patina. 😊
Landon should remember "we do it nice 'cause we do it twice". The 55 is getting closer and closer all the time!! Won't be long now!! BURNOUT time is coming!!! 😁
Send the car to Robby for paint and that will take care of the 6 week wait for wheels.
I am telling roby to paint your 55 mountain dew green😅😅😅
Put like a Chevy rally rim rim
Robby or howling wolf needs to paint it
PS Thay are for GM car's and I think that they will fit your 55 Chevy Charlie kretschmar Glendale Arizona
We all know Robbie needs to do this 55 some justice with his mint paint jobs 😂
Black gold and white 😅 roby

Just put some black steelies with baby moons on it, until you get what you want.
Why not just dual pipes all the way back with a simple cross pipe?
You mean to say all those cars you have parked out at the farm you can’t find a set of wheels it’ll fit on there
Good thinking ❤ Paul ❤ the more you can get Robby and Chad to do for you, the more time you can get out and have fun. 👍 who else can deserve more. 🥰
I could of sworn you were gonna put a Whipple on the 55!
You switch shops on me took me a second to figure out where you were
🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 are for the great video

If Judge Judy heard you constantly say basically she would rip you a new one 😂
I think Hunter and Sean should do a budget paint job with Robby.
Just a question why even put that x in the exhaust system? Why not just put dual on it
Maybe just get hood pins instead of dealing with the hood latch.
New shirt. "We make it nice we do it twice."
that old lead sled lookin hot rod just needs a set 18" black steelie rims for a test rip. Theyll look good and give it the moonshiner/early nascar vibes. ;)
I agree with your idea of having Robbie paint your car but only if he can have a large Robbie nation logo on the roof, fab rats on the door in the back trunk good representation of a team effort
Not only should Robby paint the 55, he should also vote for you in the OnX challenge!
Robby Layton... You are being beckoned...
Can't let this be painted by anyone else.
It's coming along nicely. Having the 'cut-outs' aimed towards the side will help blow away the tire smoke so you can see if you do that ;) Plus, as @user-kf8qc7cx4n said,it'll keep you from setting in a dust cloud.
It is a process...like raising kids sometimes it is good enough 😂
as long as you cover your throttle body all that melting will be ok ish LOL
I vote patina match the red
Hey Paul do you feel the advantage of the xpipe was worth it? Just curious if it actually helps, also super clean fab work hope you don’t paint it lol
For all the snacks and food people send you guys ...you all should weigh 350 lbs each...hehehe
Robby Layton, you need to paint the 55 for Paul.
You always do an Awesome job and we want it to look sharp.
Thanks you both for all your content, we enjoy watching all you Utah youtubers.
Great vidj coming along nicely will sound great with those cutouts 👌👍👍👌👍👌👌👍😎🏴☠️💯🇺🇸🏴☠️🇬🇧👨🌾🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧💯
Robby still paints cars, lol
ROBBY LAWTON, paint pauls 55 chevy....... PLEASE!
I like it it’s going to be cool🎉
Love the build but that bumper has to go. The outer guards are ugly. Either a smoothy or just the middle guards.
You paint your 55 I would paint it fabrics colors
Paint the Car Robbie Layton
I have always wondered why Paul is flossing his teeth in every video. Today it dawned on me- it's all the jerky he is eating!!
Of course things are tight, that's what happens when you put 10 lb of potatoes in a 5 lb sack.
@RobbyLayton Dude! You need to paint the Fab Rats Chevy! Twould make a great collab!
He will for free don't worry
Fun. Then dont cut it up . ( 9:05)
