Fabricating the Sheet Metal in a 1955 Chevy Bel Air Drag Car!

Having the right tools pays off! This week we start to fabricate the sheet metal to seal off the drivers compartment in our 1955 Chevy Bel Air! Hand snips, ‪@eastwoodco‬ throatless shears, slip rolls, metal shears, and metal breaks all come out just for ONE panel.
See what it takes to make a VERY complicated center piece and watch how intricate it can be to make even the simplest panels the right way!

Mike doing what he does. He is the best.

He can see this stuff so fast it's crazy!

[@rkarrowood6229]

I know from experience. He has taught me alot. I over think stuff. He is the reason I am going to run a bed cover on my new s 10 so he can't see my sheet metal work lol

@@rkarrowood6229 hahahaha he will think that's hilarious 😂😂

If you use a bead roller will it change the size of the panels?

[@shift_points]

I asked Dad this same question! It stretches it some but when it puts the bead in it it raises the material. So this ends up being a wash on the overall dimension!
