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.

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.

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

@NathanCEnyart 2 күн бұрын

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

@bripslag Күн бұрын

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.

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.

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. ;)

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.
