it is no longer a restoring but rather a reconstruction, i love it, amazing
I hate to think how much it cost to create this magnificent beast. What an impressive car. I love hot rods from the 1950’s! My compliments to the team that built this beauty!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
On the 55 Chevy job, gentleman a job very well done. I am an old motorhead and started turning wrenches back in 62. The art and technique is very much alive in this completion!!
This is perfect restoration. real professionals. My greatest respect. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Can't believe it's taken a year and a half for YT to recommend this build to me... Well done guys .. we lovers of the tri from across the pond salute you.. magnificent work.. amazing team!
Thanks, we appreciate it!!
Awesome job. The 55 has always been my favorite. When I was a little dude the Folks had a 55 wagon, loved that car but it was given to my brother and he sold it. But you did one hell of a job and the music was awesome too!👍👍👍✌️
A true craftsman makes it look easy and this team is simply amazing. Thanks for sharing!
What a glorious job. I've never seen so much attention to detail. Well done, guys. Respect from down under.....
Thanks Alex!!
While the post car is lighter and stronger than the hardtop, the hardtop just looks so much better. Either way, though the craftsmanship is excellent. I love watching metal fabrication being done well.
These guys are professionals, their work work is some of the best I've seen, Beautiful 55 ,thanks for getting another classic back on the road, one of the sharpest cars Chevrolet built.
just hit the lil' Utuber gear for settings at the bottom right & slow the speed to .25 and click 'mute' for sound control …
then grab a beer n' sit back to enjoy a perfect build ! Great job guys !
Thanks for that, mate. Made the vid totally mesmerising!!!
With all the work, hours, sweat, $, there aren’t enough words or compliments I can give. I can say this because I watched the entire video. All I can say is, you guys do good work!
There is a lot of talent in that shop... excellent build 🤠👍
My only problem with the build is the flating of the iconic dash. Other than that, it's a beautiful job.
i agree with you on that that's the only thing i don't like
Same here. I love everything but the dash.
@@aurktman1106 YUP , THE TRI FIVE 55-56 DASH IS MAYBE THE BEST EVER ..! THATS WHY YOU SEE THEM IN RODS ..IT SEEMS OF ALL MAKES…!
That’s one lovely ‘55. I love everything about it, the paint is gorgeous, the way you got every line on the car perfect. Just everything. The only issue I have is on the production side. The photos were shuffled a bit. One minute we’re watching the man in the final polishing, the next we’re watching them back to bogging the trunk/boot. Anyhow, lovely job. 😊
One of the best 55s ever ... James Dean
😙😘
True masters and artists. Amazing.
So Very great Job,,, 👍🏼😎
From Sumba Island Indonesia 🙏
UN-FRIGGIN' BELIEVABLE.You guys know your shit.I have never seen a 55 Chevy that was so beautiful.I would BUY this in a heartbeat.
Santa? SANTA!!! SSAANNTTAA... where me fkn 55? I want one just like this.... My god you guys are artists. Gorgeous.
Perfect Work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Happy Bel Air 😉 don't almost too good to drive. why there are so many thumbs down. strange people
Nice work gents. That’s exactly what I dream of. Some day i hope to own one like that
Absolutely amazing job.
Absolute jewel of a car...
I made my mom park a long way from where I had ball practice when I was a kid because I was embarrassed of our car. It was a 55 chevy. I didn't want everyone seeing our old car
A special kind of love of the craft in this auto.
You guys are motor wizards , its beautiful ,look at the beautiful chromes Whew !
Wow this is immaculate here. Nice work.
That was beautiful....had to pick my jaw off the ground....amazing!
Awesome build, absolutely beautiful, true craftsmanship at it's absolute best!!!!!
So fast,,,,,,I couldn't see very well,,,BUT YOU ARE AWESOME,,,EXCELLENT JOB..
The best part of building your dream car is that 1, you have everything, not only to build it yourself but also to afford to build with all the right equipment, and the ability and knowledge to build it yourself.............
My favourite by far is the 1955 and would love to own one built to this standard.well I can dream can’t I.
I saw the picture and thought "that's a cool car"..
I watched the video and am now thinking "what an amazing car!"
Amazing, now I know why these things cost so much. The talent, the man hours, the know-how and the extreme attention to detail! 👌 Thank you for posting!
Hell yeah she is a beauty nice work fellas love the 55s
IS there a DOLLAR VALUE to ALL YOUR HOURS of LABOUR ? INCREDIBLE
About 6 years ago when I was 6 me and my papa bought a 55 Chevy that had sat in a barn for 20 years and we rebuilt it and now he going to give me the car
I seen professional man hours they never used a cuss word now that's professional
Beautiful, well done one and all. Be safe. Peace🇺🇸
Very good JOB! Thank you for this Video! GOD bless you! Greetings&best Wishes from Germany!
Absolutely amazing!!👍👍👍👍
Wow, just wow.
Awesome job I'm so looking forward to one day getting my 1955 Chevrolet Belair hardtop done by your team of metal engineers 😎😎😎👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Thanks Anthony!!!
@@metalworksclassicautoresto9583 I'm saving up for my own car to get done by yall I really like the 55 with the LS9 powerd six speed manual transmission yall did. It was awesome X awesome
I restored a 57 Chevy and the first thing I tell people you can do it. Have a plan a magic marker sandwich bags boxes log book and a place to store you can have skills either in bodywork engine building ect but restoration is about being organized. It's an adventure and I am happy that i finished it but kind of miss the challenge good luck to all
Wow nice build! Except the dash. That's part of what makes a 55. The VHX Dakota digital would look WAY better.
Nice car, very clean.
YOU GUYS are GENIUSES
awesome 55 chevy
NOW THATS HOW YOU GET RID OF RUST! I WOULD BE WILLING TO PAY HARD EARNED MONEY FOR A RUST FREE CAR LIKE THIS 55! NICE JOB.
I’m exhausted just watching the build...😓
30:38 😱😱😱😱 now that is dope!!! great success
This video reminds me that even though I have worked for 50 years, I still will never be able to afford to build my 57 wagon like this. Awesome.
nothing to it but to do it !!
Only problem with building one of these cars you’ll never get the money back out of it that you put into it .so you better plan on keeping it for a long time or never selling it. Because nowadays there’s so many of them on the road it’s not like they’re a rare car anymore and it’s popularity has made it that way. Still it was very nice build to watch.🛠🇺🇸🛠
J'adore ce model 1955 10/10
Somehow I thought it was gonna be a hardtop. Actually,I'm a tall big man,so a post would work out a tad bit better for me anyway. And less water leaks. No snappy-flappy over glass stainless thingies!
Nice , my favorite car
You will have to lift the body up to get the rear tires off. Man, all the talent those guys have.
Dam so kick ass ,pro'sss
Great build man awesome
Honestly, I am disappointed you didn't rebuild the original production factory as well!
Very nice.
Al mirar este vídeo no me cabe duda que el ser humano sabemos apreciar el arte y si es posible darle vida este vídeo me a traído lagrimas a mis ojos es increíble la restauración total. no tiene nada original de el excepto por las puertas Buen trabajo y la música Soberbia...
I NEED THAT CAR
I totally respect all the work and this project.. I just prefer the old school style with 15 inch wheels, carbureted engine.. just my two cents. Too modern for my taste..but beautiful work, nevertheless.
Great body work💪🏽👌🏽
Wow what a great build. Not sure if I would of cut the dash tho. To me the dash in a original 55 is cooler. Good looking car over all. But the cost of man hours and high dollar frame . Not sure if you can make any money. But you should get more business after this video.
Yes I couldnt agree more...I knew they were gonna fuck up the dash and put "their own version" of the dash in..but everything else is top notch for sure
I was shocked at the amount of bondo but I got over it. I just do not want to know how many manhours it took, start to finish, let alone parts and materials
It's just a skim coat, not much there,besides with that much welding and manhandling, there's no way around it.
Great job.....
Gee that acid dipping changes the whole visual aspect
Beautiful craftsman work. Hats off to all involved in the build.
Too bad it will spend most of it's life in a trailer.
Wonder what it's like to have too much money.
If it was all black it would more beautiful
REAL NICE! BONITO TRABAJO!
Well done if i say so myself very well done ..
you are metal magicians but I would have left the dash board stock in appearence
Please come build mine
amazing craftsmanship... BUT..... the 55 most iconic interior look is the dash, I'm sad with how you guys got rid of the double hump, but everything else was beautiful.
Just saw episode #31 drop. I'm subscribed and watching form the start! Hoping to pick up some good tips n tricks for my '55 Dodge rebuild...
ssshhhhiiittt = you spared no expense . a true work of Art
tracycolorado Its no longer a 55 Chevy, a high dollar custom car , its not what hotrodding is about sad

@@edwardalamo2507Jealous much? You do you, and others do what they do.
excellent job, no doubt. more of a rebuilt than a restoration, but that was probably inevitable.
the cutting frequency of the video was far too high, less would have been more here, I think.
Great Job'
Good jobs
Ce que vous avez fait est une oeuvre d art ...
Bravissimiiì
Siete degli artisti.
Great job! not a hardtop, a two door sedan (post)
I was waiting to find this comment!
Beautiful build. Does anyone in your shop know how to tig? Yes it is slower, but as you may well know, tig leaves you with less grinding which cyts down on time and easer to hammer out the weld, should you need to do so. Just saying. :)
Que obra de arte esta presioso
Looked better with the centerline's and the meats!
you have to weld in support for to keep geometry in tact when cutting out floor to chanel the body arounfd the frame been there done that the car has tendency to open up in the bottom screws up the fitiment of hood fenders and basically everything if you dont weld in support bars to keep deminsions correct
What does it take to build a car of this caliber. We are all amazed at the crew of metal fabricators and the quality of the build. Just curious what the budget was versus total cost.👍
надо чтобы все машины делали именно с таким подходом.
Looks alsume
Una hermosa joya. Buen Carro !!!
Wow wow wow
great work. can you tell me what the donor car for the front bucket seats was please, Again, Great craftsmanship.
Black Diamond!
Oh no no no...
Destroy that iconic dash ??
You lost your damn minds !
Agree.
resto means resto not build a clone
the orignal dash w/clock would be the chery on the cake
Totally agree
Yeah I hate restomods
WOW !!
I have one like this beautiful
nice job boys!! alot of fucking work been there done that i made more work by mistakes one of not welding support bars before cutting floor out learn by mistakes you never forget all the work done to correct it fer sure
