There is a caddie done years ago. I think it was called cruella. I can’t tell which is nicer. Both sick. Correction, pony’s murdered out 66 Cadillac is the name of the video. Looking back this is sexier but I’d love either.
I was at a loss of words until I read your comment and it nails it the flat black where the red goes and the gloss black where the white goes totally nails it
BEASTIE! Absolutely love it. In 1963 my dad had a black & white 56 bel air with a 1962 327 FI corvette motor, 4 speed. He always kept the police in his tailights
My very first car back in 1969 was a 55 Chevy four door and nobody wanted four doors ........now after watching this I wish I had it back I paid a wopping $200 back then
Hello Shawn. Big thanks for bringing this car to the tube for our viewing. I always stop to check out the custom work that people like Matt do. It's my hobby. I love custom work whether its Ford, Chryslers or GMs. Matt your work is above and beyond. This build is 56, unique and sexy. Much respect to you Matt. Thank you.
I don’t know I had a 1987 Buick Grand National and it had the yellow bulbs in the front and it looked bad ass especially at dawn when the clouds would turn yellow the car just looked so sweet
You dont really notice its a 4dr. So clean and the matt with gloss black is excellent!! Its a 56 that isn't as popular but this builder knocked it out of the park. What a Great ride!!!
I was watching this video on my phone with a Bluetooth speaker and I could actually FEEL the rumble through my dining table, WOW what a feeling it felt like I was in the car with you, beautiful car you did a great job on it
I’ve always thought when people black out cars it kinda hides the body lines of the car. But the matte black and gloss black trim pieces looks so damn good, bad ass car.
Love all the badass builds you've been featuring man..they're all about as close to perfect as you can get. Also a lot of them are super unique and just pretty special ✌️
Shawn, much like what some of the other commenters said, it's was really hard to notice that it's actually a 4 door. After seeing this wild paint job, it really lends itself to other new ideas. Something that popped into my head was wondering how the car would look if unpainted black carbon fiber (and cleared) was substituted for the shiny black paint? Or, if the black carbon fiber was placed in the flat black paint areas only? Another scheme idea would be to use black ghost flame styles (or other colors of choice, perhaps blue) on a fully painted flat black body. Later!
Nailed the black on black look, I'm hopping it's got a red hue with the head lights on. What a family cruiser. Shawn, thanks for replies to comments and the awesome content. Best out there, cheers.
Wow, Shawn you're a mind reader. I saw this car on a take from your last video "Quarantine Cruise and I thought oh there's a car Shawn must bring on his show...you did. Now two more for you...the white 65 Mustang and the modified Jaguar XJ6 or 12...Do that for us please!
How to combine classic with a young builders imagination. I'm 64 and normally like chrome and bright colors. This is a premier, tuff looking custom. I want one!
Not bad for a 4 door,lol. I love the paint combo. I'm digging the new style of these builds Blacking out all the Chrome. Gives it more of that evil look.
The 56 Bel Air offers the best chrome trim break for a 2 tone paint job. I had a red and white 56 nomad and even that trim was perfect for a 2 tone paint and those two colors made that car pop. This was a great call with the flat and shinny.. its definitely a one of a kind.
Very nice and different combo of matte and gloss......gonna be a lot of guys copying this in the future! Generally don't like 'em bagged but the stance on this thing is SO RIGHT that the bags are great. There's a lot more to this ride than meets the eye. The longer a fella looks; the more he sees......pretty awesome.
Very cool. I'm a powertrain guy, so I always notice these things... but it looked slow and sounded like it doesn't rev up much. Needs some trans tuning to make her sing???
Youre the only other person besides me that seems to have noticed that.. It sounds like it has a bad ECU or unable to properly tune it for this setup or something idk I just know it comes across as lame af
@@88_TROUBLE_88 Yeah. I hate to make a negative comment about such a cool car, but I would be digging into it and figuring it out if it was mine before I showed it off to anyone. It would bug me big time...
Man what a great resto mod! It's hard to tell that it's a four door at first glance. Really like his take on matte black to gloss black contrast. I am sure thiers some purist out their all hot and bothered by all the blacked out chrome and the bird on the hood. Plus thoose wheels with the knock offs, shut the front door. This is by far the best youtube channel out thier, please keep em coming!!
Dude the matte on top of the gloss with in the same places the 2 tone originally was is SUUUUCH a slick and unique idea. Kudos to the owner. Obviously put a lot of thought into it
Why does it seem like he hasn't figured how to drive it yet? I've seen that uncomfortable look before at 8:30... Reminded me of the awkward moment after sex when it doesn't end as good as it started.

If you had told me last week that I would go nuts over a '56 4 door Bel Air in matte black I would have called you crazy Shawn. Welp, looks like I'm the crazy one. 4 door is perfect with the shaved handles. And the gloss and matte combo is just spot on. Color me impressed.
I'd say this is the best looking 4 door '56 I've ever seen, but I think it might simply be the best looking '56 I've ever seen.... Bad ass car... Love the matte and gloss black.
The most beautiful dark bel-air I have ever seen..i love them..and this one looks like it mite have been a prototype and they didn’t build it..but always nice cars and a good video to go along with it..
So glad you caught up with the owner and finally got some footage of this car. Seeing this four door and other four door tri fives gets myself excited to get mine moving again soon! It’s almost a tease lol.
AutotopiaLA nice to see the 4 doors being loved. I’ve seen some four doors be converted into two doors and you can’t tell it was ever a 4 door which makes me question that. But the idea of chopping sections hurts.
Love these videos. most in-depth videos are all TALK. love that you guys show how the car really looks like rolling around.. makes the entire thing huge props

My wife and I saw you at Talbert and Beach. We were in the Black S8. The car is so sick. If I could own a classic chevy this would be it.
I love how the black actually hides the 4 door and makes it look 2 door almost!
Same for me!
Also the shaved handles REALLY help!
You can tell it is a four door from the rear. 4 door sport sedans used a different back window.
Interestingly, I did not notice it is a four door until I read your comment.
Johnny Railroad been seeing this car for months on instagram and never realized it was a four door.
I love the 50's era cars alot, It don't matter what car company I just love them

Wow wow wow one of the best four door Bel-Airs I have ever seen you'll think it's a two door because everything is so well hidden cool
Turbo 6 for sure! Love the way it blends together
I didn't notice until I read your comment.. well I was a the first seconds of the video
I think you will see more sedans customized as the younger generation matures
It’s a 4 door hardtop. That’s they way they are factory.
So....beautiful. That’s my ideal color scheme for my dream car resto mod

I've noticed her in the last sunday episode, the mixture of shining black and matt black looks great! I like this Chevy!
Adrian Stanciu couldn’t agree more, such a bad ass build 👍🏼
I love the growl. Not too loud. You can still cruise without disturbing other people.
Set up perfectly to cruise, be heard, be seen and show up with something completely different
@@AutotopiaLA PERFECT!
Sick build! I'd swap the yellow tinted parking lights for red tinted ones for an ever more sinister look

This car was in your quarantine cruise video, and it caught my eye. It's an awesome looking vehicle, glad you featured it...🎊🍾
Elite Harrington it was definitely one of the stand out vehicles of the cruise! Glad we got to shoot it
I barely noticed it's a 4 door because the lines are so clean & all that black paint really looks great, too.
Best looking American 50's car I've ever seen.
Agreed!
56 is my favorite of the Tri Fives. And you can hardly notice it has 4 doors. Great use of gloss and matte finishes. Just looks sinister.
Agreed. His choices on detail work was on point. Hard to notice it’s a 4 door
