Projects R. Seghi's 55 Chevy gasser build.

Thx Kiwi, it's slow but happening.

 

Ordered my wheels today from Stockton Wheel. Think chrome reverse. Motor is running on the test stand. Going in the car with the trans soon. Need to finish wiring, plumb the brakes, dial it all in and go. Trying to make it to the next Hot Rod Reunion.

 

^^^^^ 5 week's away plus a few day's thrown in for good measure. October is Trick or Treat Month.

 

I know Johnny but I'm going to try. Can't guarantee anything but I have some friends helping,
and pushing.

 

My wheels came in, finally.

 

Yes, Stockton Wheel is backed up 2 months for chrome.

 

The wheels are perfect. What size slicks?

 

Good to see this is back on

 

The wheels are 15x8 and I'm going to use a 10" wide cheater slick. I'm thinking Radir rather then Hurst.

 

Holy cow those wheels look good.
Last I checked Hurst was shut down,so Radir and Towel City would be your two choices.
Man,that car is going to be somethin'!

 

Radir makes a new tire. Retreads would never go under my quarters. Just my .02.

 

Yeah after that wheel spacer broke all 5 lug studs that started this whole calamity (ask Groucho, he saw it all) I'll never use any retreads, spacers or anything that can come off. Because usually it will.

 

Seriously? A 1" wheel spacer broke the studs? Looks like I won't be running them

 

This thing has an ominous amount of power for a street car so it will pull the tread right off of retreads.

Yes, it was loose just abit and I didn't notice it and it broke all 5 studs at 40MPH.
Fun ride but did a lot of damage.

 

I went with Radirs 10x15 on my g***er for 2 years still very happy

 

u do know this post started in 2011

 

What's your point?Not every car gets built in 23 minutes like on tv.

 

Yeah I couldn't figure that out...

 

well if you must know my point was...............how many cars have you, Robert, gone thru in those 5 years?? lol when will the nomad be done? don't get me wrong ive got 5 that are taking time....it was not a slam.. more a joke

 

but I do drive all mine.............all the time

 

This is why I don't even have a post for my Nomad. Don't need to listen to everybody whine.

Nope. Sold it to buy the '66 Corvette coupe #'s matching 427.
