[@fw1421]

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!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@theobserver1320]

This is perfect restoration. real professionals. My greatest respect. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@williambutler8624]

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.

[@ronaldhiler7449]

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!!

[@securedcertification477]

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!

[@metalworksclassicautoresto9583]

Thanks, we appreciate it!!

[@nemesisxrox6773]

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 !

[@alexbrown1995]

Thanks for that, mate. Made the vid totally mesmerising!!!

What a glorious job. I've never seen so much attention to detail. Well done, guys. Respect from down under.....

[@metalworksclassicautoresto9583]

Thanks Alex!!

[@garybrooks2753]

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!👍👍👍✌️

[@jimburig7064]

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.

[@timmitzlaff8960]

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!

[@zeropointenergy1574]

True masters and artists. Amazing.

[@WesW3187]

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. 😊

[@chascain1]

Absolute jewel of a car...

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

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

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.

[@jean-marcdube6954]

J'adore ce model 1955 10/10

[@roberteast3216]

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.

[@gdub454]

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

[@1957kwick]

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.🛠🇺🇸🛠

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

[@jsh3234]

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. :)

[@jerrybushman]

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

[@carlspackler91]

It's just a skim coat, not much there,besides with that much welding and manhandling, there's no way around it.

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.👍

[@timcourt6194]

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.
