It looks like what I am doing converting a 2 door wagon to a Nomad. Now I am installing the Nomad doors to align the B pillers for the proper spacing for the rear Nomad rear quarters. It has been 5 years on this project. The B pillers, I'm building from inside out and buiding new rear sliders channels that no one makes. It had been challenge but it is rewarding. Lucky I have a original Nomad I have had since 1974 which I am using as a reference. Good luck on the build because it is a lot of work. So your building a Bad Chad floor. I wish had before I rebuilt mine.
Rob, I Love your attack & not intimidated mode attitude.Just started a trim binding replace job on my banjo resonator was intimidated initially and turning out very easy so far. Mind plays games on some of us the feeling of the unknown,LOL! Looking FWD to this 55 build ......
Wow, this appears to have lots of challenges ahead. Great job on the process of salvaging and reusing the 4 door metal. Looking forward to each step of this project.
You should look up double nickel Chevy in Athens,Ga. Great people with a true love for the tri fives. Also recommend doing the rain gear wipe system, remove that old stuff and clean up the fire wall at the same time.
Been building tri five Chevys for 30 plus years. Very familiar with Double Nickel but I use H&H. As far as Raingear wiper systems, I've installed a couple in customer cars.
Keep up the great work! Glad to see im not the only one out there that does splice and butt welds and using Factory spot welds as plug welds later on!Doing my deceased Dads 61 Chrysler two door new rear rails being a unibody....Not easy....Passenger side quarter was sideswipped.....Im making it out of four door parts......New firewall is also going in out of a parts car....Look forward to more videos!
That’s quite the ambitious project Rob but I’m sure if anyone can do it, you can! It’s a bonus you’ve got so many original pieces of sheet metal to use. Nice job!
Great vid. I am just starting the final 1/3 of my 55 2 door and you have been very helpful! I would love to see how you removed the winshield and how the wipers were installed. My project was a parts car and I am replasing parts like the parking brake, wiper system and vents that were removed. Not too much rust, but they swapped a bad door and now I am replacing. As well.
You come. Across. As. A know it all. But and. It’s a big but. You explained. How you will attack. This. Big. Job. I have. A good understanding. And view. On what. Your going. To do. Thanks
After doing many cars 50s 60s 70s 3 trifives when you were stripping the rear quarter I knew from past experience you should’ve been cutting the whole damn thing off so now it bit ya.
I didn’t know the frame horns on my ‘55 were bent until the front clip came off. What I thought was all original front sheetmetal is probably a nice front clip from another car (or maybe GM replacement panels back when those were available). It’s been on there so long all the patina blended together. It’s still going to be a nice car, just not what I originally thought.
You must have some pretty understanding neighbors that you can do your work in your driveway. For the uneducated they might think you are running a junk yard rather than you saving the icons of the US auto industry.
The other shops would just fix those braces with liquid nail anyway for the total price paint job however they still will never get the car. Done even with there shit job

This one is likely the best video I've ever watched on youtube.
Absolutely, THE BEST video on replacing tri-five sheet metal!
I knew it was just a matter of time that this channel would grow and people would realize you actually learn something here, Thanks.
Thanks for the longer video.
Learning a lot and taking notes on the process. 👍🏻
Area 55 is rocking!!!!
I can only wish I had a small percentage of your body working skills. Always Impressive!!!
What a great video from a master craftsman! I can’t wait till the next one! Please hurry!

Definitely a Big Project But well worth it I just ordered A pillows for my 150 wagon I’m Doing My Ap’s. Are both Bad
Wow, you're bringing that old girl back. It's amazing how you used 4 door metal.
That’s quite the ambitious project Rob but I’m sure if anyone can do it, you can! It’s a bonus you’ve got so many original pieces of sheet metal to use. Nice job!
Nice job matching up everything with oem parts

Hi, are you using MAP gas? Does that seem to work better?
Map gas is hotter and I bought a replacement bottle for when the blue one empties.
How come you never hear of guys building '56s please answer in a up coming video
