Please don't ever stop showing the details of what you guys do it's much better than a start-and-finish
Agree 100%. On some channels it's the "thing" they make... on others it's the people and the work process & interaction.
I have an alternative, you could use Howling Wolf for the paint job, since he's more of a classic car painter than Robby, and he could do with some extra viewers.
I will definitely agree to that
They're lds, they don't do business outside the church if they can avoid it.
And we don't get 500 sanding videos. 😂
Cult, outside the cult.
@@brianblank9921 uhh, that's about as wrong as you can get..
Paul has more "finds of a lifetime" than Antiques Road Show!
This find is definitely a diamond in the rough just like Paul's Firebird both with so much potential. I don't think people realize how rare it is to find a very desirable car like this in such remarkable condition. The chances of anyone getting their hands on an all original unmolested 55 Chevy with all steel panels intact is almost unheard of.
@@IR-nq4qv Thats what i told 'em
They're out there, getting more rare by the day.
Turning the muffler outlet to the side is better because if you set them strait down you would have a dust maker
I have a 55 just like this one sitting in the garage. I went out and got it running because of you guys. Thanks for giving an old guy some gumption!
Moving along nicely onthis project. It is great to see Hunter and Landon more involved regularly. We'll done Fab Rats!
Landen when talking about the brake lines you just need to remember your dad says " we do it right because we do it twice " good job everybody.
Nice to see paul stepping back a bit and trusting them. Its only little bits but its there. The respect Landon shows him is extra special between father and son and not often seen. 👍
Paul, Motion Raceworks (Cleetus McFarland is part owner) offers a tight 90° for intake of LS motors so you can run cold air box off to the side. Hope that helps.
Greetings Paul, Fab Rats family, friends, and fans! Have always ❤ red. Classic 55 shows a 1 colors: Gypsy Red either solid or combination. Everyone have a wonderful 7/4/2024! Take care , be safe, and enjoy your life!
Hey Paul, this is Paul from Western Massachusetts. I sent Robby a personal message for you. I told him you know how to build cars but you don’t know how to make them look nice that 55 sure as hell deserves a paint job good work and enjoy your videos, keep it up God bless
Great to see Lando being a valuable contributor to these builds.
Love the "whistlin diesel" phase, we were just the same as kids! But growing up into building cool rigs is a massive set of life skills that's awesome to see these lads get into.
Mad props to the family environment at home 🤙🤙
I agree Howlin Wolf Garage... Hector would love to do this and his channel needs a million new followers
I really like Hector, but this car deserves better than what Hector is equipped to do. This is a job for Robbie.
I agree Howling Wolf would do an awesome paint job. I know Robby Layton can do it also. Guess it depends on mileage to their shops and which one has time to do it. I would trust either one of them
Hector at Howlin' Wolf is a great guy and all, but his paint jobs don't compare to what Robby's shop can put out. One is a guy in his garage with a spray gun, the other is a top-notch paint and body shop with state of the art equipment and facilities. The job Hector did for Rory on on Ol' Blue was perfect for a tow truck working the trails of Moab. A '55 Chevy hot rod deserves something better than paint from Tractor Supply.
If it’s for Grandma Lolli, let’s have Robbie and crew add their awesome.
Was lucky to see this beauty physically in the shop last week. Unfortunately Paul wasn't around. Waiting to see it running!!
We were there last fall. It was cool to see the shop and meet Grandma Lolly. Even had a burger at the little food trailer where they get lunch on the videos sometimes.
Lookin good guys. Landon is gaining more confidence . Havin all those equipments helps out a lot. 😮😎
I can't wait to hear this 55 fire up for the first time. Love the "family" atmosphere in every video.
The 55 that ran at Round-About never had exhaust/radiator clearance issues and boy did it sound good,,, almost as good as the wide front tires dancing side to side as the cars danced at 70mph with the "cow-catcher" bumpers. Those were some great days🎉😊
I like to see Hunter and Landon learning. Paul's a wealth of Knowledge
Howling Wolf did a great job on Rory's Old Blue, good idea Paul! The '55 Chevy made a lot of forward progress today with Paul, Landon, Sean and Hunter getting things done, brake lines, exhaust, rajiator, etc.I wonder what Derek Bieri is doing today? Good video Fab Rats!
Paul ,looks like you need some help building custom exhaust,I wouldn't of used the " X" pipe ,you probably should of just ran normal duals ,then about 14 to 16 in towards the rear put a " H" tube to tie it in . Probably would be less rattles and clearance.
My dad had a 55 that he sold because he needed the money to get married. My mom was so mad he sold the car. She loved it. She still married him though. I guess she like him better than the car after all.
I kept yelling," turn them out!" ....aaaaand you did! It'll help blow the tire smoke away from the inside...when you do that big smokey burnout
You can tell when a man enjoys what he is doing. Making things more difficult with possibly more mistakes with out a look back 😎💪🔧🔧❤
He is Doing it Right
Because He’s Doing it Twice.. It Will Be Fine 😎👍
That 55 build is going to be great...Lance and Landon are working really well together.
I think y’all should to do a video of all the cars you built and currently still have. It would be a cool video to see which are your top three favorites and why. I’ve been following since you had the Tacoma built. 💪🏼
Paul you could have Rory's friend Howling Wolf paint the 55
Robby Layton needs to paint this '55! Love our Fab Rats!!
Dear Robby, watching you paint a '55 Chevy would be sooo much fun!
It's coming along nicely and I don't think you'll have too much trouble convincing Robby to Paint the 55 for you. I think he would love to paint it for you.
I second the Howling Wolf to paint the car comment
L
Auton would only make a 67 part epodidr out of it
To see inside I often put a camera & light inside & close it up. In the "olden" days a gob of putty would give clearance information.
Love your videos.
Howling wolf and he’d have Robby’s blessing. Cause Robby is a great guy. And would pick it apart in another fun video.
GREAT CAR! Born in 1955, Birth of Rock and Roll, Chevy Belaire, ....! GREAT CAR!
Me too in September! Great cars in our decade!
Thank you Paul , Landon , Sean and Hunter for the update on the '55 ! It's looking awesome ! Paul go with your gut as to who to have paint it !
I love how Paul complicates the exhaust with the x pipes when he has electric cutouts.
Saw the Rat back hiding at Chad's the other day. Looks AWESOME!
the old car is really taking shape now, wont be long till it fires and goes on a cruise. thanks for sharing
Really liked Paul's impression regarding the "Sleeper Button" and the exhaust pointing down.
I WOULD TUB THE REAR OF THE CAR, 20" TIRES UNDER THE REAR ,AND SHORT AXLE WITH A 9" REAR END AND 3.55 OR 4.10 GEARS THE REAR
Don't shout.
Paul: 8:19 ... Play-Doh ... a big glob covered in cling wrap on any suspect corners ... easily tells you just how close you may be!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Hector from howlin wolf garage should paint the 55 , Robby is a one hit wonder which was the golden nugget & he hasn't shut up about it since
Yep Robby should paint it and work his magic.😊
Watched this couple days ago and then came back to check out the comments. Was astonished at all the hate comments on the different painters. So I came up with a solution. I'm on my way to Sherwin Williams to get some paint and a few brushes. Will be there as soon as I watch some videos on how to paint. Problem solved. Decided not to read comments again. Y'all still rock.
The '55 is turning out GREAT! One humble request: you're SOOO close to having a significantly nice car, once it's completely together completely disassemble it and finish it inside and out, top to bottom, front to back. Make this a "complete" car and it'll have so much more appeal and value! Show the critics you can finish a car to a high standard.
critics Dont pay the bills, and doing a every nut and bolt resto will kill the views and get even more critics. be Happy that they're at Least painting this one!
@@caseyrenner7024 It's not much more work at this point to blow it apart and finish it.
I like the patina rigs but paint is also good. Just not the FJ. That thing looks nice.
If this car gets sent over to Robby, as Paul said it was in the video, then I am sure they will take care of that over there at Layton Autobody.
Robby Layton, charge Paul triple when you paint his 55 Chevy. Add flames too.
I Just got my Fourth of July shirts in the mail, thank y’all do so much, I love what y’all do!
Glad you went with the side mount on the cutout dumps! Great choice!
We all know Robbie needs to do this 55 some justice with his mint paint jobs 😂
thanks to you and all your crew for the work you do love watching the builds , the way you build is cool to watch thanks again keep up the good work.
The 55 Chevy is Coming Along Nicely ! Thx FabRats ❤
The Laytons were loaded way before the CZcams thing,
Howling Wolf would be my choice for this build,Enamel paint that will hold up to scratches grinding dust ect.
I had a 55 Two door wagon when I was 17. It had been modified with a Buick Riviera engine,auto transmission and power bucket seats? It had no back seats and had shag carpet in the back. Obviously everyone called it the shaggon wagon lol😊
Thank you guys
Both steel and carbide tipped holesaw teeth can be sharpened. Same goes for drill bits, carbide and steel circular saw blades, router bits, etc. It's done by any if not all sharpening shops like ones used by custom wood shops get their saw blades, router bits, drill bits, hole saws, etc. sharpened for a faction the cost of new ones. ;)
Hey @fabrats. Motion race works makes throttle body intakes that are angled. May help make that turn between the intake and radiator/core support.
Looks like fun! Can't wait to see how everything turns out!
Blow, tack, and static Paul
I think Hector is the man to paint this
C’Mon ROBBY !!!! paint this car dude.
Lots of good stuff done on that project. Closer & closer to
Are we ever going to see a project vehicle for Sean? I think we have seen everybody have a project vehicle except for the newest guy. LOL
YEEEERH GREETINGS FROM DENMARK
THE ONE UP 55'NORTH
Great job on the car! Awesome teamwork 👏 Thanks for sharing 👍
Not sure if you have decided on a color yet or not but I think something in a two tone would look great😊
Very excited to hear that exhaust. Especially with the cutouts open…
Yep I agree Robby needs to paint that beautiful ride for you
When finished, the 55 will be a show stopper, no doubt! Candyapple red would definitely make it stand out even more! Just like your apple trees, it's sweet no matter how you look at it! Catch you on the next ✌️ 😊
Much respect for everyone.
Enjoyed Watching ! Thanks for sharing.
Turn downs always should point t at rear tires. That way when your doing a break stand the exhaust helps billow the smoke out
Motion Raceworks makes a tight 90 billet elbow for intakes on LS/LT motors.
Probably my favorite out of the tri fives although the gas fill behind the taillight on the 56 is pretty cool. Looks good and looking forward to seeing some smokie burn outs...🤓
Thanks for another great video.
Can't wait yo see that car cruising! Excellent video!
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
😎 Blindness is better, said no one ever. When you are down to one, life gets really exciting. It's like gambling.
Robby you heard the man. He needs the chev painted.
Suggestion for the air filter situation. Don't know if any exist for your motor, but you could get an air intake with the throttle body that is located on top instead of the front. Make it a bit nicer to work on, and if it dont fit under the hood, you can just add a hood scoop.
Looking forward to the startup. Great job fellas.
Enjoy watching this project.
Coming together quite nicely
good job!
Great work.
Great build.
I had one of y'all's shirts on, and a guy at the part house said love the shirt and the show. Little Texas town. I need to get a couple more lol
Good video everyone
That car is looking great guys
Howlin Wolf!!! Get that job Hector!
Thanks for the video guys
Alloy Ralley wheels would look great! They have different sizes 👍
Looking good guys 👍💯
Looking very nice guys
NO PAINT!! It looks so cool
You know Robby would love to paint your car. The entire crew really like sanding. Plus with the addition of Sean any bad spots in the metal will be repaired in excellent fashion.
No 678 parts of videos a
R not appealing
Good morning from Crow Oregon
Sweet.gonna sound awesome with those cut outs
Its looking good
She's getting there,Well done guys
Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along.Hopefullu Robbie Layton will paint the car
Greetings Paul…….I was wondering how you feel about hood pins instead of hacking the original hood latch……it would be bad if that hood flew up while driving if that hood latch failed….also you wouldn’t need a latch at all which would not risk damage to the radiator assembly causing leaks!
Better yet make it a flip front end...
