We got a special project at the shop this week! Our good friend JC from JC Customs CNC brought by his 1955 Chevy Belair. Well, he brought over a body and a chassis and told us to smush them together for him. He had one request though. JC wanted this classic Chevy sitting on the floor. We're no stranger to slammed rides, so we got to work getting this Belair down on its rockers. We started the process by cutting out the floor pan to be able to give this Chevy a proper body drop. We took the grinder around the wheel wells too, so that the metal doesn't destroy the tires when JC inevitably does a burnout with the suspension aired out. Once we got the frame of the car sitting as low as physically possible, we got to work installing our air ride suspension. We took our measurements from the Air Lift Performance Builder Series shocks and got to work fabricating the proper mounts in the front and the rear. What we ended up with is a slammed Belair with a HUGE amount of suspension adjustability. We know JC is going to be stoked with the outcome and we can't wait to see this Chevy with a big blown LS sitting in the front, and smoke pouring out of the back!

@@SalvagetoSavage This is so Sick
Sick ride! I have a 4 door ‘55 I’m doing soon as well. Who’s front clip did you use?
@@DudeDogandRV its scotts hotrods front clip.
@@JCCustomsCNC thanks! That’s who I had been looking at going with. Trying to decide now wether to clip it or do a full frame.
Legit ride
Glad you like it!
Love how Mikey aka the owner of the shop isn't a desk jockey barking orders like we see at a lot of custom shops!!! Very cool how he gets out with the guys and just crushes it with the best of them!!! As always keep killin it and cant wait for the next vid!!!!
He can't stand being in the office for too long! Thanks for the support!
Full on PRO build = No schmuts - Just some seriously KillA work guys!!
Thank you!
I absolutely love this channel, the craftsmanship and quality of work you guy produce is top notch. Maybe one day I can get a car built by yall.
Thank you so much! We'd be stoked if we ever got to build a car for you. We really appreciate the support!
I love classic cars skidding and throwing them to the ground👍❤️
You'd fit right in around this shop!
@@SalvagetoSavage
it would be an honor for me to be able to visit one day
I smiled my way throughout that video. Such good vibes from all
Thanks for the support! Glad you like it!
Just laying frame. Excited to see the finished car shredding
Watching the air bags raise and lower the body was a trip. Being in house to see it live would have been amazing!
it's always cool seeing exposed bags inflate on a ride!
MY GOD!!!!!! That is BAD ASS!!!!!! Dreams right there.
Glad you like it!
Great video! I actually pushed my first meeting back this morning to watch you guys!
We love the thought of you calling someone up to be like "yeah... I got an emergency I gotta handle this morning. I'm gonna be there 30 minutes late!" lol Thanks for all the support. We can't thank you enough!
Sweet. Great vid. Can't wait for more vids on this 55. Clear coat patina looks great. No half ass work in this shop. Pleasure to watch u all fabricating and welding skills.
Thank you!!
Hell yeah! I just bought a 55 2 door HT that I want to body drop. Local fab shop will be building the frame and everything for it
nice!!
Just a suggestion start your plasma cut in the center of your bolt hole then go out to cut your ring for your bolt. It will prevent the blow out of the outer ring. Dang I love watching you guys build killer stuff!
Thanks for the tip! We'll have to try that next time we fire the plasma table up! We really appreciate the support!
Beautiful work boys
Thank you 🙌
Thats a bad ass 55, awesome build.
Oh hell yes! i cant wait to see this one evolve! this is my jam right here! lets get it!
Ive built lowriders since the Late 90's first with hydraulics later with air ride. i love this stuff!
The air ride is nice and simple, but there's nothing like a car on hydraulics!
Hay guys
I just love the fabrication work your doing on the cars especially the 55, to me the only American car I've ever liked.
Keep on doing what your doing and stay safe.
Thank you!!
Badass fab work, you can't beat neat. Cool air shocks and bracketry
Thank you!!
You brother's do exceptional work beautiful job
Thank you so much 😀
Sweet car. Really dig the tires and wheel color.
Thanks 👍
This thing is sick!!! Please show updates on it and completed build shots.
We definitely will do an update once it has the motor in it!
Mikey Rolls killin it 🔥
Best explained fabrication projects on CZcams. This channel is awesome , from the rides, editing and the all around relaxed approach.
Pleasure to watch🤙🏻
We love to hear that! Thanks so much for your support!
Sweet build now I want to find a 4 door
I like the thinking through an issue and coming up with an appropriate solution. Watch and learn young fabricators!
Tim! Mikey! Great job!
The best part about working on cars is that you never stop learning! Thanks for all the support!
Great work as always. Great creating
Thank you! Cheers!
You know you can’t be compared to the rest when even do owner craftsmanship is above and beyond 😱

Really nice work guys
Thank you!
Scmutchz was there the whole time mate. But your content is so awesome I didn't mind. Well done you guys!
We got it taken care of for next time! Glad you still liked the video!
Mike looks good in glasses.
Bro that car is going to be a bad layed out nicely. That airlift suspension setup u guys did came out awesome!
It's going to be sick once the motors in it!
Easy bolt on style build here, all parts easily sourced from your local Auto Parts store! 😂
Fab work is killer! Respect
Thank you!
By far the best custom fab channel on the youtubes! Every episode of every build is pure gold!
You guys are the best car build channel on CZcams. Love that you are starting to blow up and get the recognition you deserve!👍
I look forward to the days when you have 1mil+ subscribers and can do sick projects just for the sake of doing sick projects!😁
Thanks so much! Until then, if you keep tuning in, we'll keep filming out builds!
@@SalvagetoSavage Your posts are the highlight of my day! Keep up the good work guys!
Awesome fab work.
Thanks!
Great episode, and good job explaining everything that helps alot with people learning fabrication skills. I wish the was a shop around me that was capable of air suspension and fabrication. Nice work
Thanks for watching! Where do you live? We might know someone out by you!
Starting to wonder if u guys aren't tapped into my brain. Working on some of all my favorite cars. Love the patina and the big steelies.
We'd put those steelies on everything if our customers would let us! This car is definitely going to be a crowd pleaser once it's all done!
@@SalvagetoSavage I'm wanting to do and old Square body suburban bagged and body dropped on those or some old artillery style wheels
Done right, not right now. Love this work, you all are fantastic at what you do.
Thank you so much!
WOW! You guys never cease to amaze. That came out so clean, and you kept the design aspect of it simplistic and still pleasing to the eye. Dude wanted it to lay frame and it certainly is. Love your guys style. Keep on keeping on!😎💯
Thanks so much for the support!
Everyone should have a car/truck "just for burnouts". 🤘🏽
That's how you know you've really made it!
A lot of fabrication vids on CZcams. Pleasure to watch you all do your thing. Make it look easy. Great content. Product reviews. Videos well done. Doesn't matter what your working on. Going to be done right and look bad as hell.
Thank you so much! Glad you like them!
That's gonna be an AWESOME car when it's finished! He's got the right guys doing it for sure. I think he should do the interior blue & white factory like, but with a S2S twist!
The inside is definitely going to be decked out with some billet, knowing JC!
It brings me joy to watch the quality work being done. Thank you.
Our pleasure! Thanks so much for the support!
Mike and the boys killing it again, never going know what they are working on this week, but making it sweet.
Thank you!
nice work mates the best from holland stay save
Thanks so much for watching!

Sweet patina
Your machinery is impressive! 😳
Thank you!
Love your work lads. I bet that giant fan provides some welcome relief from the Miami heat. Man they look like helicopter blades.
It's the only thing that's stopping us from dying of heat exhaustion!
The best channel on FB.
Thank you!
I know this is work for you guys but is the dream job for me building dream cars every day love everything you guys build! Great job!!
It's never to late to start pushing towards your dream job! It's a lot of work, but the sacrifice is well worth it!
Master of bracketery Mikey
The "gusset King" if you will. lol!
The best content, period.
Wow! We really appreciate that!
nice project❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! Cheers!

DA BOYS ARE BACK IN. AWSOME CONTENT AWSOME TECHS AWSOME FAB 👌 BIG THANKS FROM HONOLULU MANOA VALLEY
Thanks a ton!
You guy's are BADASSES
Thank you!!
always love the content guys! can't wait to see more!
Thank you! Glad you like it!
Love those air shocks!
Mikey/Tim ... you two make an awesome fab team. Love the attention to detail.
Thanks so much!
Clean build 👍
Sick fab as always (although can someone buy Tim some push sticks for the bandsaw so he keeps his fingers lol!) Shame Australia is so far away as you're the guys I need to work on my 65 SS Nova. It's pretty but needs some of those fab skills to fix all the "Nova things" chassis and steering wise! ;)
You could buy Tim a truck load of push sticks and he'd still use his fingers! lol Thanks for all the support! If you're ever in Florida, shoot us a message on IG so we can try to get you into the shop to show you around!
Phenomenal work!!!! Who is doing the music? Fire!!!!
The music is all just commercially licensed tracks!
Slick '55...😎
Thank you!
Bitchin' build guys. Too bad that is not a 2-door! Love your superb craftsmanship, quality videos and content.
Thanks so much! The 2 doors are cool, but JC's dream car has always been a 4 door bel air!
i love this project, good job man ;-)
Glad you enjoy it!
“3 inches will be fine!”- Tim’s famous last words 😂
hahahaha!
This was a whole lot crammed in one show. Would love to see more of this build. Haven’t seen a car welded to frame, what’s the pro’s and con’s? Great shows!
Check out our Tesla C10 Unibody episode! There's a whole bunch of insight on unibody fabrication in that episode!
I'm supposed to comment? well it was such a good slam I'm lost for words! don't do drugs! 😂😅
The wisest words Tim has ever spoke! lol
unless the drugs are free of course
Awesome
Great work guys. Looks sick!
If there’s not going to be a back seat I’d weld the back doors shut and shave the door handles so you would have a sort of a 55 2 door
Omg you guys never disappoint I love this channel
Thank you so much for watching and subbing! We can't thank you enough!
Killer patina.
The shiny clear coat on top makes it look insane!
'do all the things.'
Had to watch a few more times. So saweeet! What wheel,tire,and back space for the wheels. Thanks apprec. It
Thanks for watching!! Not sure on the specifics. You’d have to message JC customs Cnc on Instagram for that. But they are Detroit steel wheels!
mikey got tired of yall prasing tim, so he got his hands dirty too ... lol nice one bossman
Walked out of the office and said "hold my drink and watch this!" lol
@@SalvagetoSavage lmao...nice one
Had hoped the team might be committed to go exclusive EV. The real engineering , to use designs that keep costs down to earth.
"Got a valve on here to have control over air flow".
Proceeds to NOT use the valve. 😆
This is the kind of build that i wrestle with. Like, I appreciate the fabrication and problem solving but I can’t stand a car with a body drop. I just find it a great way to spend a ton of money and effort to make a car pretty undriveable. Like I said, I appreciate the engineering. I’ve worked on cars I thought we’re in very poor taste but were fun to work on, but basically rendered the car useless and annoying to drive, at best, and super uncomfortable. And my god, the vibration with the hard mounted body! 🤣
This thing is definitely not meant to be a daily driver in any way! All JC wants this for is to cruise to a show and rip a fat burnout!
That was a cool project. I thought you were going to weld some gussets on those brackets for strength.
I like your videos
Thank you!
@@SalvagetoSavage 👍
🔥🔥🔥🔥
That is low. Happy 4th! I'm building a dropped 55 Nomad.
Hell yeah! Happy 4th! Best of luck with the project!
