Danchuk Manufacturing 1956 Chevy - Birth Of A '56



Danchuck Metal Finishing Spot Welding Holes
From the factory, certain panels were spot-welded. Unfortunately, a few of the panels were rusted-out and needed to be patched. HBB patched the area and then recreated the spot-welds. By drilling holes in the appropriate area and filling the holes using a MIG-welder, it looks as if the metal had never been touched.		 Danchuck Metal Finishing Completed Metal Worked Panels
Once the initial metal-finishing work had taken place, the fenders, hood, trunk lid, doors, and so on were mounted to the '56.		 Danchuck Metal Finishing Assembled Car Body Filing
With the car looking like a '56 again, HBB went back over it to ensure that every high and low spot had been removed. Here you can see Rich Evans body filing the assembled car, making sure that nothing was missed.
Danchuck Metal Finishing Primer Spray
Once the metal was finished, Evans began spraying the '56 in primer.		 Danchuck Metal Finishing Complete Primer Car
After each coat of primer, a guidecoat was then laid down, which are the black stripes you see. By blocking out the car and sanding away the guidecoat, the primer will remove any minor imperfections in the body. How many times is this performed? As many as it takes.
