Alot of very nice work.

Man I love these build threads, top notch work.

Body work begins
 

It's FINALLY time to start body work...time to burn some forearms...

Body work
 

Putting in the long hours of burning forearms...

First primer
 

We'll not bore you with endless photos of HOURS of endless body work, but here are a few as we put the 55 in its first primer coat.

Ah...the long tease.

:D

Man, I like this build so much...I'm gonna go and get me a 55 too. (hint, hint...wink,wink) :unibrow:

Sand the floor!!!
 

Endless sanding...

Dash and firewall bodywork
 

Body working the custom dash, and smoothed firewall.

That looks nice! How many hours to get from when you done with the metal work to ready to paint. Just a ball prk number? It's going to be sweet!

It's already been painted. :underchair: Saw it on their IG page.

Good question...I'll have to check the logs...we had 2 guys on the body work of the 55 full time...we definitely put in a ton of hours in body work.

Rotisserie
 

Body of the chassis and onto the rotisserie.

This is coming along nicely. Keep up the good work!

Art Morrison tear down
 

Thanks a lot...making good progress.

Time to tear down the Art Morrison chassis for paint.

Thanks for all of the detailed updates. Love the pics.:flashie: :hail:

Wow that's a ton of body work! I can't wait to see this bad boy put back together!

Chassis paint
 

Prepping and spraying the Art Morrison chassis.

Final body work
 

Final body work on the 55's loose components...ready for paint.

Epoxy and base coat
 

Seeing some color...finally.

Clear coat
 

Making things shiny...

That'll work.

:wow:

More...more, dammit!! :twak:

Assembly
 

Assembling the painted IRS Art Morrison chassis...

This is an amazing build! Glad I just caught up on it. Great great work!!!!

Paint looks great guys. That frame is a nice looking piece.

Thanks guys we appreciate it.

Drive train install
 

Setting the LS3 and trans in place. We then installed the Ultimate headers.

This is an awesome build. Reminds me that I need to pull out my welder and learn.

This is the part of the build where the owner starts to become very anxious...

Final body work
 

The seemingly endless body work is finally near completion.

Body in epoxy
 

Epoxy time, and we were lucky enough to be able to include our customer during this process and let him take over the spray gun.

Budnik wheels
 

Mounting the new Budnik "Famosa" Wheels...20x12 & 19x8.

Meaty out back...I like it!!:flashie:

NICE! It looks good just in Epoxy...

Thanks
 

Thanks, yeah, the whole chassis really came out great...ready for a body.

Seam seal
 

Seam sealing for paint...very close now.

x2. What are the tire sizes? Brand?

Asking as a learner, what is the tape for? I noticed you used it in some places but others you didn't.

Is it just for appearance? I noticed that you are only using the tape and the spots that can be seen.

nice work looking good
