- Here we go! A few last minute items to check off the list and it was off to inspection. While the 55 was away I went and started picking up parts to my 57 Chevy project. Car passed inspection and it was time for it's first legit drive! Let me know what you think in the comments.

I am working on a 55 Chevy as well.Its a 4 door sedan and Im gonna leave it that way because its really solid.It is a BelAir its factory color is Neptune green,Im going back with it when its ready to paint(long ways off lol).Its back to a rolling chassis finally I too am using the stock rearend it has 3:55 gears.Im gonna run a 327 and 66 model 3 speed Saginaw transmission.My theme for the build is early 60s as in a kid in high school in about 1963 got a 55 and dropped a 327 in it.Im gonna run steel wheels and either do them in gunmetal or neptune green and use stainless trim rings.Nothing wild on the motor.Factory 275 horse 327 intake edelbrock performer cam 2 1/2 inch ramhorn exhausts with 2 1/2 pipes.461 heads Pertronix electronic distributor powermaster alternator that looks like a stock generator 600 edelbrock carb.Stock for year motor mount setup comp cams stamped steel roller tip rockers.No chrome or aluminum,Ive got Chevrolet script valve covers for it.Im sooooooooo ready to get it driveable.I estimate the motor will be about like the factory 300 horse 327.
Four doors to fit more hoors 😃
And like 1/10th the cost of a 2dr from what it seems.
I JUST LOVE THE CAR!! ...AWESOME JOB! ....KEEP THE VIDS COMING! ....I WANNA SEE THE 57 NEXT!
"Bro, I just now got to see the '55 Chevy series, I give you mad props for your awesome workmanship on it👏🤜🤛👍
Love that classic door hinge squeak all the old chevys have!
Thought mine was the only door to squeak like that , glad to hear others out there do. 😁
Clutch pedal squeaks are kinda cool too.
One of my favorite Hot Rods, the Two Lane Blacktop 55 Chevy. You do awesome work.
Awesome work on your 55 Chevy. 2 Lane Blacktop For The Win
You've done a great job. A lot of work I'm sure a lot of frustration, but it definitely paid off. Keep those vids coming. 👍👍👍👏😀

I love your 55. Thanks for sharing all of the hard work and adventure that you had to get it this far. It is great to see it driving down the road. Now for the 57! I like all of your cars. Keep up the great job and take her to the zoo....LOL
haha will do! Thanks for all the support
Drive it, have fun.
I would like to have seen the looks you received as you drove to get your inspection sticker, That's a reward in it's elf, but, you're doing a great job, I love your attitude during the rebuild .
Danny that car is just so flicking cool!!!!
Passed inspection awesome now you can do some cruising in that 55 my brother's best friend used to pick me up in his bad ass 55 that looked just like yours,when I was in the high school in the 70s we got pulled over for loud pipes and he got a ticket he told me to put the ticket in the glove box, it was full of tickets..😂😂
haha thats what the glove box is for!
Nice job enjoyable!👍
Thanks!
Nice job now it’s legal u might find u may want to drive it more often than work on it like myself let us see that 57 I would do a 56 also u would have a tri five meca I know it takes cash but with on the wrench easily done congratulations nice work
Straight up BAD ASS !! Been watching since she was a 4 door, Congrats!
Nice to see other canadian in the old car culture , great work my friend you just achive a massive bunch of work to bring back this 55 on the road and i love it
awesome man thanks! us canadians gotta stick together!
It's always about the nut behind the steering wheel. Lookin good.
Congratulations on the successful build, absolutely enjoy watching your videos. You have a great set of mechanical skills, thanks for taking us viewers along for the ride. I have been trying to decide on buying a 55 or a 57. I would like to see your 57 build next.
Buy em both, thats what I did haha
Nice to see it on the road.
GASSER! GASSER!! GASSER!!! Finish body work panel by panel. I know you want the Two Lane vibe, maybe it should have its own identity to showcase all your work.
You did a amazing job!
Thanks!
Car came out nice I would have rather seen a 4-speed LOL but that just me
and me
me too!!
4 speed here
Well done man looks brilliant and remember and check the jets .lol jamie from Scotland. 👍👍👍
love the high beam bowtie light well done with the 55 :)
yeah the cool old touches
awesome 👏
"shutup and drive" hell yeah!
What a good job on the 55 can't wait for 57. One tip tho. Put spacer under front carb. It'll help
Love the looks of that car it looks wicked 👍
57 Please... Tho great job on the 55 very inspiring now I need to get my lazy ass in the garage! 😁
haha get out there!
All you need is one of those 'Moon' foot gas pedals.
Yeah that would be sweet to find a vintage one
Nice job on the 55! It's cool
The aluminum panel in your dashboard is from a 56, the 55 aluminum dash panel is all bowtie emblems
maybe you can run the plug wires under the headers they stay cooler that way to also .i had that same tunnel ram on my chevelle i loved it !
Cool channel man and that is so strange for me to see Manitoba plates on any automotive related RUclips channel since I live in Manitoba lol. Btw, I used to run out of Provence plates on the front so that people could not get my plate when doing something that most people would find extremely out of control or reckless lol!
Dude that 55 would look bad ass with the full set of rims and tires off the Chevelle
Cool car, you have a slight resemblance of James Taylor when your driving.. be safe and remember to “ check out the jets “
Liked, shared and commented. “Kinda like our first date”. 😂 lol.
Great job looking good there just enjoy it.
Bro good job. Very proud of you.
I can’t get enough of this 55! 🤙
Great Job Man! Been watching from the beginning. Thank You!
Thanks my friend! I really appreciate all the support!
Really Great, Good work!
Beautiful!!!

I Think You Did A Wonderful Job
In Assembling the '57 Chev BelAir
Well done !
Neat car looks like Two Lane Blacktop clone a little.Doing real nice job on her. What color are you going to paint it?I have a two door 55 Belair sedan have owned it since 1969 my first car.Its flat black with all the chrome & bumpers,trim,etc. Has wide tires n back also with 18 inch Boyd Coddington Crowned jewel rims all around its a daily driver looks cool same as you car does & sits about the same. So much fun to drive its exciting.Keep up the good work!!Glenn P. in N.Y.
If you were shooting for a clone of the '55 from 'Two Lane Blacktop' you nailed it!
thanks man! thats the plan
The trifecta of bad ass bowties the way they should be not over the top over finished trailer queens you actually drive em cool channel man and the pie crust slicks definitely look better on the 55
haha yeah no trailer queens here
Awesome looks great driving down the road man congratulations just see the 57 get put in your garage then finish chevil ?
Fantastic
Nostalgic!
I watch all of the car shows, Bitchin Rides, Graveyard Cars etc. They build very expensive restored hot rods and muscle cars. Don't get me wrong I wish I could afford one. Your work is just as impressive as there work is. The difference is there in million dollar shops and your building cars that are period survivors. One of my favorite movies from the seventies is Two Lane Blacktop. Your 55 looks just like it. I have forty thousand laying, would you build me one.
Years ago I had a 55 chevy 2 dr. Sold it because I needed the money! Miss it.
get another one! awesome cars
love your 55
1970 Chevelle is nice ✌🤨
Good goin.
Wow, Manitoba......very cool.
thanks!
2 Lane Blacktop car looks fuckin great dude !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks man!
congrats
i put a old ford A/FX car back to somewhat street legal lol. no inspection or front plate in my state. good thing i sure not pass lol.
Great job my friend please flat black☝️
You dont need to slam the door! Just gently close it.
When R U gonna finish the steering wheel & put some sound deadener in the doors, get rid of the junk yard clang
Love the car hate the mail box on the hood and not to sound jealous but it's not a hot rod without a 4-speed
Send me the muncie and I'll slap it in. Thanks man!
@@DDSpeedShop you do beautiful work I'll tell you a story when I was a young man all my cars I had to have 4 speeds my first car was a 69 Cutlass I turned it into a fake 442 the automatic 350 Oldsmobile motors are not drilled for a pilot bearing unless it comes from the factory with a 4-speed I remove the crank had the Machine Shop drill it out for a pilot bearing put it back in with the original bearings motor never ever gave me a problem rain great.
YOUR G/F or WIFE is a REAL SWEETHEART
Where do you go/recommend for the safety?
57 !!!
You gotta do a better good scoop than that it's 5 inches higher than you filters
you used a tap or a die on that steering wheel shaft?
The 57.
⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️
Drive it across country and look for a GTO.
Ahhh a fellow manitobin lol
the 1957 chevy
Your just in time for the TRI-5 Nats in bowling green next month. Now if i can haul my broke ass from SoCal.......
haha it's pretty much ready for a road trip
You should race John Milner with his 32 Ford
Gotta find him first. He's hiding
57 next please
Will do. Coming home next week
Dude you do need a 4spd and a thumping ass can
Where are you mounting the 8 track?
