Can We Make This '70 Chevelle a Drag Car? | Iron Resurrection FULL EPISODE | MotorTrend

okay with me, well, take your sticky bridges. I don't know how to glue them in place, so okay buddy, you can start soldering them and I'll

make

some more fluid pieces. Well, I'll let you have it all, we're going to need more people, bro, on wood, oh my gosh, yeah, we just sprayed a cream color on the '55 Chevy convertible and really what we're doing is just coloring it. Now that we've got that mixed and we've got it all smooth, we'll do some touch-ups on the green color and then once we get to that point, we'll start masking off the chrome shrimp.

The strange request on

this

car was, you know? Obviously we have a '55 Chevy here and a '55 Chevy had a spear going through Chrome and had another spear coming out here, but Julio wanted to integrate a '56 Chrome look with the '55. The '56 had these little nicks in the stainless steel from the factory. and then pounced on the rear of the The fourth panel has a radius that reaches all the way to the bumper. Is different. That's what Julio wanted. I think he took it off, so now it's time to polish it up. Send it to the upholstery store.

Is Aaron ready for us? Let's go to Aaron's. going downtown coming hot we look like a bunch of ants on a donut that's fine, fine, but there you go, Merry Christmas, Aaron, we have July 75 Bel Air here and we're trying to finish

this

convertible top for it, come on. pre-zone they are all one piece and there is a lot of trimming, okay Aaron, I think it's ready, man, you're ready to let it go, yeah, there's a lot of trimming and a lot of stapling and re-stitching, so it takes a a little bit to put them on I just want to pull it down and I'll lock it into place oh man is it tight we really need to stretch this thing out and

make

sure it fits tight okay it's locked everything looks like it fits well if it doesn't it doesn't fit us well, we have to remove it and make new adjustments.

Grab it, yeah, and put it on one more time until there are no wrinkles and it's very smooth and clean. It looks good, it's closed. How does it fit? Man looks good, maybe a little steam. man you're going to be excited, okay Jose, oh I'll do this movie by myself, I'm not afraid though, I'll talk enough for everyone, oh you guys need me there, well if you want to be on this show we have to do it . Look at the car, look how it looks on the ground, man, yeah, make sure it's got that alligator stance, that's what we'll call it, alligator thing, the alligator, Chevelle man, oh for Louisiana, yeah, we're here with our 70 Chevelle, we just dropped it on the table, so we're going to lift this up and assemble the front end there so we can put some tires on it, it's a big old tire.

Mike, yeah, put the back end back on, but we can. put the tires in the back, we'll do a roll up, take out the metal floor for a bacon, who and all, it's our favorite part, so that's what we're fixing to do, put the curl on them, yeah, I curl, there's my Pinky right now, when we put the wheels and tires on, it won't be permanent, it's just a mockup, kind of a telltale sign for us after all the welding and cutting and stuff that quickly tells you if it's done. you hit where you want. Whether you want it or not, it's okay, you walk in, someone's not trying to grab a wet fish, come on, push it, okay, come on, sweet, come on, Dave, I don't smell anything, but it's lit up there like butter, so close, I do.

I have if. Come on, let's get in there like this, here we go, there we go, oh Lord have mercy, I don't look bad on the phone, okay, look at that boy, damn, the even track is good, there's no direction on it, damn man, wow, so let's go. I just had Mitch Clay's 70 Chevelle on the ground sitting at ride height and it's just a crazy looking wonder, we're excited, it just motivates us to get to the next level two, isn't it on the ground? Basically, we'll hang everything up. back up, put the doors in the front, fasten the bumpers, just make sure everything is square and as close as possible to the location it will be in, everything else is like it's done, yeah we're lucky all the way to the dash .

If I pick up Kate, I'll start from the front and line it all up, let's line it up, okay, today is the day that Julio and his wife will finally see the 55 Bel Air. The cars had a long bad road. Things were done and it has been a kind of heartache for Julio, but we made it happen for him. This interior for Julio's car was a labor of love. We made some amazing leather seats. It has a really cool gray convertible top. Lots of polished aluminum. decorations that were handmade, the car is absolutely beautiful and we can't wait to show it to you abroad.

I know it's perfect. Amanda and I can live vicariously. These clients and trips are great. The seat is very comfortable. Aaron did a great job when we drive these very expensive cars let's pretend they're ours put them to their rhythm yeah boy Julio and his wife are going to have a great time driving this yeah everything is going so well it's definitely a South Beach Cruiser. right, yeah, I think we did it, we know we like it, but the important thing is that Julio liked it oh wow, that's beautiful, that's really cool, amazing, well done, man, amazing, that's beautiful, oh my god, It is a pleasant surprise how well and how. beautiful everything looked Aaron and Michael you guys are amazing well you got it honey to me you have a certain expectation but when you see it all together it looks 100 times better than I thought it would look yeah I could drive This, there's a lot of cool stuff on this car there's airbrushed trim, the seals, the wheels, yeah it's got an LS3 breast frame so it's going to make pretty good power, but it still has that '55 convertible identity, it's pretty wild with the Top down too, but it looks great with a good recharge, are you going to show it to him?

We thought we'd show you. Yes, my God, oh, that gray look. Oh my gosh, hey, good job guys, yeah, it's going to be really cool. I mean, it's a 55 convertible. It's just a weird, cool car, so it turns heads, yeah, it will, it'll be a lot of fun, I know you're looking at the front of the car, Julio, yeah, I can't wait to see this. , oh man, so we tied a little ornament on there, yeah. and I wanted to put some gray on the side to match the roof and stuff, the introduction of the Grays was really unique.

I wasn't sure it was going to work with that yeah it's fantastic and that artwork that Joe did just put it on top so it's really really nice guys. I'm not too excited, well we know what kind of problems Julio has been dealing with in this car. He's had a lot of headaches with this thing, so seeing him a little choked up. That was, I mean, that says it all, yeah, it's something I wanted to do for over 20 years and as you know, it started out as a disaster with a different group of guys, yeah, and you guys stepped up. and I really made it something special and I just want to thank you for that, here we go, thank you, thank you, thank you guys, that's how life is, make it special when you share it with someone you love, and for me it's not about The Car or Luxury is about something truly unique that you can share with someone you love, so I'm looking forward to sharing it with my girlfriend, my five children and more grandchildren to come.

Hi Mike, lying in bed last night, what happened? I had a dream about the Chevelle route, what's wrong with it? Well, there's nothing wrong with that, but I know you'll probably frown at this Mike, what are you going to get with this Joe? Well, I think we're cutting the Chevelle today, bro. I'm not sure what happened, but that wasn't in the plan, so it wasn't good. We almost finished this car, Joe, but we didn't look good. Ness has nothing to do with it. You know, the problems here in the workshop. Clayton knows this well, Mr. Clay asked me and said: do you like the car?

I said, man, I sure do, Clay, what would you do differently? I told him, man, I cut this motherfucker's roof off, you're not playing, yeah, yeah, we should've done that. I'm done with you I don't know why you waited until the last minute There's a lot that happens here when you cut a top We still have a lot of work to do besides that Hey, where was Kate? when that conversation was going on, make sure the price is going to work, yeah, before you launch it, you know, when you get emotionally attached to a car and the daytime enemy goes to Bama Brown, fun fact, hey, stop, I'm Pretty funny, that's a fact, how about it? that those people there were gold.

I love the poet and I didn't even know it. He used to have a little side business like signing everyone's progress reports. 25 cents, bro, so yeah, I gave it some love at the end tonight, yeah.
