A suggestion.... On that piece you need to fab up, you could cut the curved bend off of both sides and spot weld both to a flat piece of metal, thus reducing the amount of work you need to put into that piece. It will also be easier to put the 90 degree bends that piece without the radiused bead on it.
Very excellent work. Really like that when you do a patch that you replicate the original part to include the bead-roll, etc. Those details have a huge impact on the quality of the restoration.
One of the main reasons I traded my finished/painted/running/driving ‘32 Ford coupe hot rod straight across for a ‘55 Nomad “rolling project” was that the floors, rockers and tail pan was already replaced. This kind of metalwork (like this project here) takes SO MUCH TIME. It’s a labor of love but necessary to make a strong car. NICE VIDEO!
Sometimes its easier to remove everything then completely repair it right the way your doing it than cutting corners sort of speak.Then you know you did it right. I'm doing my rear quarters to a 55 wagon the same way. I even took apart my B pillers and it's a Nomad. Talk about little Intricate pieces removing the lead and drilling out all the spot welds. It's alot of work but it will be done right.
I had a 55 2-door hard top in 1970 with a straight axel, 327, wheel well headers, American mags, Stuart Warner gauges across the dash. It was stolen after i finished it. When it was found, it was stripped and beat up. I salvaged some parts (fenders, trunk lid) and let the rest go to pay for the towing charges. In todays market, it would have had some value and rebuilt again.
I think your work is AAAA your doing things most shops don't do. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Yet again nice work. I'm looking forward to this build.
Amazing vision Rob, all I see is rust but I know you will make this car like new again. Resurrecting the dead, one car at a time. Thanks for sharing!
Wow what a project. I really enjoyed tour detailed explanation of what has to be done. Really lookinf forward to the upcoming videos

I like the metal work techniques

Love it, keep those videos coming HAFF ROD
I'm very impressed with the quality of work this man achieves by himself and in the driveway.
I'll bet his neighbors love him
@@ANOCKS I would love to have him as my neighbor. I too have a 55 Bel Air and a guitar, so things can get loud around my home as well.

I want to see the staple gun they used to staple the tack strips, seals to the sheet metal!
Appreciate you taking the time to make these videos and presenting them in a way anyone can follow along.

You definitely got the talent for rust repair man. 😎👍😎
Did you 2 door swap a 2 door? Just kidding. Love your work, sir.
This is a great build. Gd UA-cam coverage. Are you able to make me a quick template where the two holes are below the taillight for the v8 logo?
This guy doesn’t Haff ass any of his Haff rods!
Definitely coming along nicely
