Really enjoying the journey with the free 55. Very excellent!

Nice work Rob! That's impressive for a guy that's working out his garage.👍Great episode.

Bead. Roller. Makes. A great. Job. Steering. Colom. Looks. Factory. Thanks ❤❤❤❤❤

Cool stuff. 😎👍😎

The floor/rocker worker was done on my Nomad probably 30 years ago (and never got put back together) but now I have some idea what the original floors looked like before the repair work! I’m sure it was a very rusty car.

A little duplicate footage at the beginning Rob. Excellent work on the steering column and the patch panels. Very enjoyable to watch!

First mint

If you need the door sills, I have some for this car. The company that I bought mine from sent me the wrong ones and ended up letting me keep them. I’m happy to sell them to you at a fair price if you like.

Nice progress Rob. When you do get around to restoring the chassis and body, are you going to do your own soda or sandblasting? I am also running out of a 2 car garage and will need to roll my 57 2dr SC outside and try to do it in the driveway.

Enjoying this build! Can’t wait for the next one! You’re a mountain of knowledge!

Man I appreciate this video. I’ll be installing the brake lines and fuel line on our 55 next. What size is the aluminum fuel line do you use? Thanks You are really making progress 👍🏻

Coming along nicely Rob Like the brake lines She will understand LOL

Great ingenuity devising the Jenga blocks to hold up that body ;-)) The frame mockup is going well and you better be out there with an umbrella when the wife gets home!

Pretty good progress Rob, hope your wife wasn’t too upset with you having to park in the rain! Just working on my frame now so I appreciate the how to’s! Great advice as always.

Progress. I’m ready for the tail panel and trunk panel install. I have to do the same to my 55. I know I’ll learn some tricks. Thanks for the vid.

Man it’s hot outside when you can hear the cicadas singing

Thanks for saving these tri 5s.warms my heart.

Why you running brake and fuel lines and putting the body on without cleaning and painting the fram? Kinda ass backwards isn't it? Just not like your previous work, just wondering

Rob rules, pay attention yall! ❤

😎👍😎

Really good progress in this video and in Summer heat your amazing, Nice work ethics your a dynamo really & a hard worker. Read somewhere years back that the bodyshell minus doors,glass is like approx. 800lbs.I was going to buy a rotisserie back in 2006 wanted to know then on my 2 door post..............

Thanks for dropping by my channel!

Would their be any problems running side engine mounts with the original front bell housing mount ? I am adding AC and it's real tight running the lower radiator hose between the fan belt and the right front motor mount . Thank's

Bud make a drea with Steve for his take off tires and wheels they will look fin on yer 55

I’m really enjoying this build. I’m very impressed with your build style, reminds me of me lol

I am look for a continental kit/bumper kit for The 55, would you happen to have one for sale ?

No offense but I just watched all four of those just to finally see it installed such blue balls

Love. This. Video. Thanks ❤❤❤❤

Robert, I'm looking for a one piece carpet for my 1955 Bel Air Sedan. Looking for "Cut Pile" like you said (ACC) and I see Die Cut instead. Is that what you are referring to? Thank you!

Hey Robert! I have a red and white 1955 Bel Air. The inside is red and white as well. I need to purchase new carpet, but I'm not sure what color to get. I was thinking black, but do you think it will be too much? Or do you think I should go with a red that is close to the color of the car? I don't plan to paint it just yet, but maybe in a few years. I'd really appreciate your input! Thank you!

Love those tips on the replacement switches. Please keep them coming.

Use a centeck fuse box there small in my 55 the fuse box is in stock location with a rain gear

Fellow Oklahoma KZbinr here! Just got a 57 Belair 2 door sedan and looking for belts. Thanks for this!

Rob is the go to guru for 5-6-7! I wish I had his expertise back when I was doing my 57 and a lot of time and effort could have been saved, not to mention money. Listen up to all those that have 5-6-7s!

I had a similar issue mounting the rain gear where I needed more room for the fuse panel and hydraulic clutch linkages. Called rain gear and they advices me that the wiper motor on the bracket could be clocked in a second position. At the moment I can’t remember what position it put it in. But if interested I can share pictures.

Thanks for the tips. I beleave all the 2-doors have same length wire covers. My Nomad has them too. If you have some flat stock make your own because there very simple panels. Just put a notch for the windlace to tuck under it buy rolling it to prevent chafing.

As always these little but important tips are great stuff, keep them coming and thanks, great job!

A lot or reproduction parts are garbage, or just not meant to be used. I just broke my second wiper switch. Ordered an NOS one to replace it with. Hopefully I will be able to get it to activate the windshield washer.

The star washer idea is genius!!! Kind of hard to grab the locking ring good enough to tighten it without fear of scratching the paint. Thank you very much for the videos.

😎👍😎

Thanks for putting all three of those upgrades in one video. I’ve seen you do those in other videos before but nice to have one with all three. I was thinking a vintage tin first aid container would be cool to use to hide the fuse panel, that is if there is room on the kick panel for it. I’m going to try that on my car

Oh man, sometimes it’s a whole lot easier and just start from scratch again! You mentioned that you like using the EZ wiring kits but if you want to maybe look at another option, reach out to Mike at Spanky’s Hotrods, he just featured a universal wiring kit on his KZbin channel and he’s based out of Memphis, looked like a pretty decent kit. Thanks again for the video!

I looked into the Raingear wiper set up until I realized I needed to relocate fuse box and wiring then remove bracing to make it work.

You want me to look for the wire covers at tri-five nationals?

Great Video. Lots of very good information. Thanks for posting

Good wiring tips , thanks for the info.....

Have you ever used the weather pack for like the headlight harnesses the weather pack connectors or do you not like them

I am going to mount a flat screen TV in my shop so I can watch your videos, and others, while I am working on my 56. I may never got back in the house! ;) Thanks for what you do! I bought a Harbor Freight hydraulic press so I can rebuild my A-Arms for my 56. But, like you, I am seeing areas where I can improve on GM's design. It is easy to bend the A-Arms in a press removing the lower bushings, so I am making some small pieces of steel to bolster the A-arms where they tend to collapse. Going to weld them solid for my future piece of mind. Keep up the good work!!

Happy belated Anniversary!

Since you’re actually going that far, I don’t understand why you don’t just relocate the rear springs cleans everything up you can run bigger tires.
