Just an update on the 1955 Belair... I recorded this a few months ago .. I gotta edit another one actually showing what we was doing but this single shot walk around was long enough... but if you don't mind, just hit the share button

55 Belair: Pearla De Laguna being built by my dad and I... just a quick update and rundown of what we did to the frame and body

The 67 Nova we are currently building as well, we got ut from my Uncle who got it from another mutual friend, i will update with more photos during the week... it was a GREAT car to start with, no rust, all together, no MAJOR body or frame damage

Another bit of photo dump... shows that we replaced the entire Roof, we got lucky finding the guy that was selling it, we drilled out spot welds, cut the old one, melted the original lead out the seams and it popped right off, Pops cleaned up a bit, sealed the braces, thin bead of panel bond inside the drip rails and the new one sat perfectly in place and we spot welded and I also stich welded the front and rear seams (basically for peace of mind for myself)... we was originally gonna go with Holley front pully set up on the motor, but we opted for a 454 Silverado serpentine set up since it was readily available and a fraction on the cost... I may put the Holley one on my Chevelle in the future cause it's pretty dope
