Amazing working

Hey there Rob - Enjoying all your videos and have gone waaaaaaay back to your 55’s Chassis (great job BTW)… I used to build a couple engines a month, but now only a couple a year it seems. I finally threw in the towel on flat tappet cams and require the customer to pay for a Hydraulic Roller conversion kit. Yes, more money - but after having to pull engines and totally disassemble, clean, replacing oil pump and cam/lifters on a few engines because customers didn’t follow break-in procedures… Well you can imagine how some customers might think the problem was caused by the engine builder…. Glad I retired from that now…. Are you still working a full time job too? Anyways - kudos on the projects!

Ron I have been changing cams and lifters for a long time. back in the early 60's I used Isky, Crane , Sig Erson , and Crane. In the eighties I used nothing but Comp parts. I never saw a lifter with groves on the center of the body. I'm thinking Chinese junk. I could be wrong but nothing surprises me anymore. I'm 81 and still do a little wrenching I recently bought a 2024 Mustang GT Premium. Did I mention my first car was a 55 Belair 2dr hardtop. Harvest Gold and India Ivory? Thanks for all the info you provide I watch your channel all the time. Stay well my friend.

Thanks for this. I have the same truck and need to go through it with some maintenance.

Cam companies do not make lifters. They buy them. I’ve had various Comp Cams and others. It depends on what they can get at the time. Which has been a real problem lately. But I have a new set of “Comp Lifters” new in the box that are actually GM HL-66 Lifters. I don’t think Comp is using those anymore because of cost.

I use the side of another lifter (which is very flat) to check for crown on lifters. If there is no oil film and you have a light behind it you can see they are crowned when new.

😎👍😎

Thanks Ron for all the info. I watch many UA-cam channels. Your channel is the one I enjoy the most! You are the best friend that I have never met! Cheers Ron. Keep em coming Man!

Thanks for posting a very informative video.

Nice score from Terry and Nice bracket you made and you are Doing it the right way

Just have a question.do you still use weather strip adhesive between the clips all the way around the perimeter?

Both my 56's have the pieces on each side of the core support like you show @1: 45. Maybe 55's didn't have them.

Those pieces on the filler panel are on the 57's, not sure if they were on the 55 or 56- so maybe that came from a 57

Free parts are always a bonus especially when there’s lots there that you can use, nice work on the rust repair, I learn something every time, thanks for the video Dan!

This was very helpful,do you have any videos of the parts for the rear door reassembly order?

Lots of good tips! Thanks. I especially like the valve stem trick! ;)

Looking gd as always. Great metal fab. What’s going on with the wife’s car?

Question.. would a 275/60/15 fit on the rear with a stock rear

It’s good to have friends! Great video! Looking forward to the next one!

Rob, Your metal fabrication is on the next level! A lot of people “say” they are going to fab metal but, can’t back up the talk. You back up and exceed expectations! I have been having the same problem with the 3M primer. Thanks for showing what you’re using now. That 55 is going to be on point.

Another great episode with amazing metal work.

A lot of cool stuff donated. 😎👍😎

You did a really nice job on that intricate window piece. You are definitely doing it right and will last a long time.

Rob - what size MIG wire are you using for sheet metal? Thanks.

I’ve never seen those filler/gravel shields on a 55-56, but I have them on my 57 SC. They do fit up to the crossmember from the core support and baffles. Not saying they’re not proper for the 55-56, just that I’ve never seen them. Keep up the good work!

Hope your wife knows what she's got!

I just can't believe what some amazing people are capable of doing---Ron you a superhuman!!!!!

Lots going on with this project. Looking good!

Those are some usefulgifts. Very generious hand off. Those old beaters are well woth saving, not much of the new stuff is. Be well.

Thanks for everything you do Ron. You have given me confidence and strength to be a more detailed oriented restorer. I think of you often while working on our projects. Cheers! Al

Nice work duplicating that reinforcement panel. This is going to be an amazing transformation to watch. Thanks for the update Rob!

If you made that piece in 2 hours from scratch you are a BAD MAN THE SHIT SHOW BODY SHOPS AS WE KNOW WOULD TAKE 9 DAYS AMD CHARGE FOR 11 DAYS

It looks like the same panels I have under my 57 core support

Loved the video Bud

You gotta make deal with Steve and keep those tires and wheels , I know there not yer bag, but they are mine and look great on that car

Yes at peace you're talking about of the core support is supposed to keep the air going through the radiator not sucking up underneath the car

That was some pretty awesome metal fabrication. And thanks uncle terry. It’s nice to have some good wheels on the car as well.

Rock on Rob! ❤

WOW! Lots of repairs coming up. I like that you're repurposing and salvaging metal to get this done. Really looking forward to the next video.

Uncle Terry is the Man!

It's like Christmas in August 😅hahahahaha 😅

They are a lot of work! We just got to love the work! I’m with you every step of the way! “Getter done “

I'm old school love rally wheel they look good on anything

Truly a great craftsman! Thanks!

Here's a trick for you , to raise the front end with disc brakes . I use a g body lower A arm . Cut the ballpoint area off and graft it onto the stock lower A Arm . This uses the larger ball joint and it points upward . Then put g body lift spindles on . Gives all stock gm bearings and brake assemblies , and hoses. Stock Bearings and shocks . Stock ride and alignment. With 3.5 inches of lift . Measure twice cut once .

I did the same thing, minus the flange on my old 55 with Fenderwell headers many years ago. When I needed to remove / install the headers, I just pulled the fenderwells loose and did a whole lot of finagles (technical term) to R&R the header. I do like the notion of a flange though. Now you got me thinking about doing the same thing on my 57 Bel Air SC! Great work Rob!
