Progress on my Dream Car build of my 1955 Chevy Belair 2 door conversion. I show you recently purchased parts for outer wheel house repair. I review them and give you my thoughts and impressions. We install the lower qarter panels on my 1955 Chevy Belair 2 door conversion.

Yes, we are the utubes. It looks great Ed.
Thanks for bringing us along on the journey Ed. It's an interesting watch. The 55 is taking shape now, You'll feel a great sense of accomplishment when it's done I'm sure.
Looking good!
Ed very nice job on the quarter and good to see that you had a helper with that long panel to make it EZR to handle . it was a good idea to buy the outer wheel houses that way you know they are pretty close to being correct. i do mostley overlaping panels when doing body repair work . when i learned we used we used a torch and coat hangers to weld back in the 70's . i bought a snap on mig welder in the 80's i still use it but it doesn't like to do but welds, it likes to blow holes when you try to butt weld. when you try to turn the wire feed down low , it wont push the wire. your making great progress on your 55. i am finishing up a couple of smaller projects before i get back to working on my 55 convertible project so i won't have to stop on it when i get working on it. keep up the good work and cool videos.
Nice work. Forward motion again!
Coming along great. Did you ever think about cutting through both panels at one time and butt welding it without having a flange under the upper panel? Works pretty gm. Cut a little and tack a little. It’s looking good. Getting better and better.
Good job Ed! That’s a lot of work.
You cut the panel in the front by the door exactly like I did on my 53, still to cut the lap line on mine but i have the undercoating on the fender to deal with for the lap to lay flat. Still to decide is where i left off in Nov. winter and my hp stalled my build but its getting warmer and im doing god. Cant wait to start up. Great vid, Car is coming along…. ? new lap or lap the old fender??????? Dam undercoating…..
Looking really good, Ed. It’s great to see so much progress!
Looking good! Using a Lancaster stretcher on that pinch weld under the taillight would help get some more curve in that panel.
