The beginning of the daily driver 55 Chevy

[@matthewschneider2089]

Dude!!! Nice to see the wife helping out!!!

[@eddiegoodwin6611]

You’re lucky to have a wife that will help in the garage. Love the content……miss the motor trend show. Really surprised Netflix or discover etc. hasn’t picked up! Nice driver though, can’t wait to see it completed.

[@johnbehneman1546]

THANK YOU, SUMMIT RACING!!!!

[@Ponykeg53]

I drove mine for over 20 years every day and everywhere love that car I know that car inside out got it when I was 17, 71 now and I still love that car. If you really like that car you will love the 76 El Camino. Mine cam with a 6 cly too I paid 73 dollars for mine what did you pay lol

[@rmeyers2003]

Cool, I had a 57 black hardtop. It was my first car and I paid 500 for it. It got totaled. Not by me😠. Found a 55 2 door sedan for 50 dollars. Took everything out of the 57 and made a hot rod 55..

[@amendenhall7452]

Brother, you are so blessed to have your sweetheart working on your projects with you. Thats front row. Cant wait to see this one smoking tires.

[@leprechaungarage]

That car is SOLID !!! Even the old road grime is “ solid “ lol Great build , looking forward to more in this one !!

[@IvisonRutledge]

Cool to see the wife joining you and your son. 55’s are my favorite.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

I love this car, Dave!

[@DavidSnyder-e3r]

Me and many others would like to see this job to the end.Sure hope you❤🎉🌟👍🇺🇲🤠 will show the finishing touch .

[@roywhitman7109]

David, I love the fact that you have the family thing going! If your son isn't available, the Mrs is willing!!👍❤ That 70 year old goop seemed to act as a preservative! Best wishes!!🙏

[@vxe6vxe6]

Can't wait to see you and Fin and Joe out on Sick Week! I was laughing at Fin's story behind 12 Volt Dave! I am counting down the days to see your 55 project!

[@vehdynam]

That 55 is a dream , so solid. Thanks for the video.

[@shantyshitter3163]

I have an all original 55, matching everything that looks very much like yours except for the wheels. no dents, no rust, fantastic patina. My pride an joy. Hasn't been out of the barn in 50 years. Very well maintained by myself.

[@JamesO-q4q]

I'd say it's a shanty shitter

[@tomstaniech9233]

50yrs ! Maybe you should sell it to Dave

[@shantyshitter3163]

@@tomstaniech9233 Not a chance. I will be buried in it on private property. My last wish will be honored.

[@johnquick574]

Nice 55, still has the GM ball joints in it ,definitely a low miles car. All that oil helped preserve it, definitely lived on a dirt road !!

[@dennissastini3312]

Wow David your wife is my new hero. What teamwork 👏

[@localcrew]

The *look* on that car. I wouldn’t change a thing.

[@easyjerryl69]

Love Piece and a bunch old grease ! LOL !

[@seanmesaehable]

O man ! i love the crew cabs !!!

[@justinvanburen8259]

Hell, yeah, I can’t wait another great episode!!!

[@craigcutter-ud3zv]

you are the summit scratch and dent KING!!!

[@frankfrosolonejr7010]

That’s a sweet ride

[@adambeck7245]

It made.me.so happy to see your dog. I had a wiemerarnar that we sadly had to put down a couple of.years ago thanks man

[@RichardMLowe]

Loose the periods because it's a fake link

[@seano2178]

Your better half is awesome!

[@greghovies9685]

55 is gonna glide.pretty kool

[@dongeorge3289]

Can't wait to see that 55 done Can be a sharp little daily driver

[@andyw.9117]

I love it, He said I going to let everything soak and then fast cut to torching 😅

[@mountainsgarage]

Patriot headers clear the power steering conversion box and have room everywhere. My 55 Hardtop has a Blueprint 383 and a TKO600, Ford 9” with 4.10s.

[@timrayburn2461]

Great video and work to you both

[@Dubiels]

Excited to see your motortrend cars again

[@64c10shortfleet]

LOVE the content. We just need longer videos. It's never enough. Evrytime the videos over, it leaves me craving more.

[@mando440BB]

Keep the content coming!

[@harveykeeler2661]

Looks like a cool project.

[@robertedwards6438]

Good stuff!

[@JimPeachley]

Been waiting to see this kind of project for years! What a great family car. There are quite a few tri-five 4-doors out there that have been passed over because they don't fit into the 'ideal' tri-five box. Has anyone ever attempted to minimize the appearance of the B and C(?) pillars by giving them a coat of flat black paint, producing a faux hardtop? Maybe shave the back door handles? However you finish this is gonna be just fine.

[@tonykemper8896]

love me a 55

[@greggsvintageworkshop8974]

What a NICE original 55! Your wife is both pretty and strong, and a great help-mate in the garage! New tubular control arms and disc brakes in the front with the rack and pinion set up and drop spindles will be REALLY nice!

[@jonnewton5929]

Bloody love ya channel mate. Just straight up cool, cheers Dave

[@BEERDRINKING101]

My great uncle had like a '88 caprice classic that he would spray kerosene under it the drive it down a dusty road. He used to swear by it. It was solid. Great vid.

[@juice_whoranit]

3:37 "let everything soak" *grabs torch* 😎

[@jsilverssilvers9107]

I live just a little bit north of you and back in 1955 when that car came out there were a lot of dirt roads here and when you changed your oil you would also grease the fittings underneath the car and have a little excess grease left on the fittings, when you drove on dirt roads the goop would accumulate over time and what you were cleaning was what it became

[@JMRAUTOMOTIVE]

Much love from Guam! 🤙🏾🇬🇺🍻

[@michaelwhitewolf10]

Yep that was a country carwith all the mud under coating now you know why no rust all the important areas are covered in mud and grease!😊❤

[@larryalexander4833]

Hay that's 1955 dirt 😊

[@georgeponnay447]

Nice seeing the wife in the garage, she’s awesome. Another good episode, Dave👍

[@jasonkintigh7949]

That is going to be one badass daily driver!

[@hindian21]

we need to see the pressure washing process!!!

[@alvinpowell6189]

Outstanding video Dave!! So glad you are doing YT videos! The ‘55 is going to be a sweet ride! Also, so glad to see you back with Finnegan in his garage! I like the way you 2 guys work together and banter back and forth!!

[@OldMan999-y1y]

Great content. I grew up in Georgia Rockmart and Blairsville in the 50s and 60s. So many muddy roads in those days. This is a great episode and can't wait for the next installment.

[@lestaylor3641]

This is gonna be super cool David. I love the trim on the back doors. 👍👍✌️

[@barrymyers8268]

Really enjoy your show and glad your back with Finnegan on some shows put you ,Mike and Cotton together it gets real entertaining ty and keep em coming

[@christophermaynard8375]

Can't wait for the cars y'all worked on and you now own!! Heck yeah man that's awesome

[@keithfilkins2043]

Cool project Dave!

[@geraldrichards6218]

Hell yeah man, can’t wait!👍

[@q1jimbo]

Love watchin yah turn wrenches

[@r1lark]

Neat survivor car! Get that thing outside and pressure wash it, it's going to be above freezing in the South today. 🙂

[@Thaddaeus417]

All that thick grim would build up over time and prevent leaks. I remember when I was young taking a screw driver to all the thick gunk on a Farmall tractor, when I got done all the seals leaked like a sieve. Papaw was not happy....

[@CharlesSmith-gw7gp]

Damn, wish I had a big garage like that.

[@markestes5948]

You have the same idea I have had for years. We used to pass over more door tri fives. I have wanted to do one with just a stock small block and t350 just to cruise. Kind of what we would have done back in school. We had a '55 same color as this one in the pasture back in the '70's. That has always been the car I wanted to build. Good luck! I will be watching you build my dream!

[@CharlesSmith-gw7gp]

Kickazz 55!!

[@kuninglingyst]

I cannot wait to see how this project goes.

[@5798Mike]

Going to be a cool ride 👍

[@robm.6400]

cant wait to see the rest of this project !

[@jdld8586]

Gonna make a nice car.

[@johnkelly6942]

That’s a good looking dog (I’m talking about the 4 legged one). Cool project.

[@billywird]

Yes sir, you can tell that is a Georgia vehicle with that red clay (course it also could be any car down here in the southern states). It will take some elbow grease to clean up that frame and such. You may find that the firewall can be cleaned up and reveal the original factory paint. I have some Chevrolet rucks (69 through 72) and one of them I cleaned the firewall and polished it out rather than paint it. To me it looks better and it is after all original paint. That car will make a nice cruiser. I had a 56 Chevrolet six cylinder three speed and out on the interstate I would wind that six up tighter than dick's hat band. I put a .060 over 283 in it (hopped up0 and it crised the interstate with no problem.Tight suspension and good tires and it rode well. These cars are just right for highway driving🥸👍👍

[@waynegrant9594]

Great content !!

[@stevemason6850]

I put a Blue print 350 in my 55. The dip stick is on the right hand side. Its under the 55 battery tray so you cant pull it. Instead of mounting the battery in the trunk I used a 57 Chevy battery tray,and mounted the battery along side the pass side fender. Took some fabing,but it looks good,and I dont have 15 foot long battery cables.

[@MatthewJensen-d9u]

Nice looking rig! CRC Knock ‘Er Loose is every bit, if not better than Kroil. Cannot wait to see it come together.

[@DragonsFireMetalWorx]

yee yee on the MT vehicles score Newbern this daily is gonna be slick

[@grezzierutherford7416]

I saw that build up before. If you live on a dirt road and they oil the road throughout the years, that's what it does to a vehicle. It's dirt and I believe creosote that they use on the dirt roads to keep the dust down the The car probably lived its whole life on a dirt road

[@ericquatkemeyer7084]

Love the channel..

[@davidwaynesingleton6826]

Definitely not a 4 door fan, but if you like it that all that matters !! Keep up the great video s 👍

[@hotrodtex2124]

I love the look of the car but think you should do a 2 door conversation on it. Do a paint blend on the new panels but try to match it.

[@dwaynemurphy814]

I love that you build drivers and not trailer queens. I'd put EFI on it.

[@lesterscrugs2272]

The perfect family car would be one of those wagons you've got. If it's going to be a four-door make it a long roof.

[@edvanrossum5146]

Newby . When your girl says : smell it you smell it.😂

[@chadduplantis8591]

You should hit up Derrick from VCG and get some of his wipe on clear coat to put on it to protect what paint is left

[@fellowshipandcars2327]

David, I’m driving an unmolested original ‘55 2 door. 265 with a 3 speed. Calhoun Georgia. It’s my first Bel Air. I’ll be taking it to Paradise for a stock drag race. Hope to see you there

[@drdjh2003]

I know some who went to rack & pinion and didn’t like it one even went back to factory. R&P steering radius is shorter. Heard different things on power steering setups too. Have a low mileage 55 4dr too my Og steering is great unless parallel parking but I run 75 series tires up front

[@EdwardDean-z4f]

I have the same color combination India / Regal Turquoise. Original 265:and Powerglide. Built in Norwood Ohio. Have Ride tech Street Grip suspension and front disc brakes

[@badkelly]

Make a long sleeve option so I can wear it to work when it’s cold. I’m in the mountains and need long sleeves, but not a hoodie

[@robertmartin2387]

Fuel Injection!!!!

[@michaelwhitewolf10]

Go with the efi more efficiency and less hassle!❤😂

[@jokerace72]

Ridiculous (IMO) to discount or overlook the 4 doors of any of these. As good 2 door candidates become harder and harder to find, these are excellent options and if you've got a family you want to have enjoy the experience with then these are your best option on top of it! Personally, I like the look of the Tri Five four doors, as well as a lot of the cars of that era (and the 60s). I would love to have one, if I had the time, further knowledge and space to work on one. Looking forward to seeing where this goes and I'm glad you'll be able to enjoy it!

[@joeharris9372]

You should do some of Derek’s Shine Juice on her.

[@Windemtight]

Nice car. Wow you have a lot of cars, must have fleet insurance. Lol

[@TheKevy]

When this car was new, and it went for its first fill up, some kid came out and asked. Fill it up? Check the oil? Oil that just went somewhere.

[@dukemecham8278]

I hope you can save the color on that firewall. Definitely don't look as good when they're flat black.

[@JackCramer-fs7nk]

With the front end off you may switch to disc brakes up front. Be nice to have with the 500 HP.

[@woof3598]

VACUUM WIPERS, FIRST THING TO GO

[@MrStacy1974]

And the single pot master cylinder.

[@ryznglascastle1995]

🍀🍀🍀

[@joeharris9372]

That oil and grime saved that car. Years of spraying used oil underneath and driving dirt and gravel roads. Maybe there’s molasses on it making it smell sweet. Taste 👅 it! 😂

[@brianlojeck]

I feel his wife's pain. I have a very good nose, and nose-dead people always look at me like I've got a 2nd head or something.

[@ibraunchy20-vn5kd]

I like the 55 , my favorite car 2 door or 4 door

[@051570orion]

I wonder has anyone ever built ome of those old 6 bangers out of an old tri5 and put a turbo on it ? Would be interesting, but that's a sweet car and I like the AMN shirt I bought 👍a d that's a score on the scratch and dent 383

[@thegalli]

All the 2 doors of every car and short bed trucks are all gone, either already restored or already crushed. 4 doors or long beds are the only option for guys now unless you can get lucky.

[@dieterlange7581]

What's up new intro to the videos on the channel👍
