My 55 Chevy pulls a HUGE WHEELIE on Speed TV!!

Watched it last night, i knew it was your car. I couldn't wait to get on here to check if i was right,, LOL

Friggin thing looks AWSOME. That was the best show they did, it's about time they ran a real nostalgic car on there.. And it was up there, made a great show.


How is the axle holding up. i still haven't had time to start on mine.

Your running and auto with a t/brake, correct?

Again, Awsome car..

 

Love it!!

 

Bad ass wheelie Jim, looked great on TV!

 

Woohoo! I kept rewinding the dvr to watch the launch! Good stuff, puddin'.

 

wow... i got goosebumps, and a tear in my eye... damn, that was awesome.. you have one hell of a sense of humor to boot... get job!!

 

"They tell Jesse James he looks like me...." Thats some funny shit right there I don,t care who ya are!

 

B B B B B Bad Ass!

 

Puddin' = Ruler!!!!!

Said it before but I will say it again. I Love your car.

A big thanks to my buddy Mark (RATTRAX) from the TLB site for getting the video for me.

I uploaded it to Youtube since a lot of people don't use Quicktime:

 

Finally,WOW!

 

It's all right here:

Me and my boys were watching it in slow motion last night and I cant believe how hard the front end bounced (3 times). I'm glad we built it the way we did.

 

bad a$$

 

Thats was fucking sweet .. Looked good on tv... Can i get your autograph ????

Nope, TH400 leaving off the footbrake.

It usually goes 1.32 60fts.... but I think it was a bit quicker on that day. I never did get the time slip.

I will admit.... I watched it a second time.

Yeah, I like Ken Herring, but he thought my car wasn't gonna handle.

Believe it or not, Shakey Puddin is/was a Bel Air.

When I got home, I was looking everything over real good. No problems with the front end.
TH400 foot braking.

Thanks for all the nice words!!

 

So, I'm flickin through the channels last night in the hotel room by myself and I see your car just as it launches off the line, wheels in air, the guys on the show are screamin, I'm on my feet screamin, "That dude's a HAMB'r!!!"

And then I realize I'm yelling at myself...

It was awsome though, made my week workin on the road!

 

I did a TIVO for the 11:00PM showing here on the east coast last night. I started my morning off with watching it bounce away from the starting line.
That had to be a fun view from the driver's seat !
That truly is one bad ass 55.

my $.02

 

I just got goosebumps-NO Kidding! That is one of the meanest cars I've ever seen.Hats off to you!!!!!!

 

Thats sick as hell!

 

I watched too. It was entertaining as hell. Glad it finally aired, my wife was getting tired of me watching that show every day for the past week or two. Nice launch. I thought it came down pretty easy. You should be able to do that all day without worrying about the front end, as long as it's going straight.

 

That is just too BITCHIN'!! Always enjoy seeing your car.

 

Damn dude!!! I saw the show last night. That was one hell of a wheelie! AWESOME! oh, and I love your car!

 

K I L L E R !!
Is the show "Name that test and tune"
Or "Pass Time"?
I saw it some time back and it was the first name.
I notice in this one they have "Pass Time" on their jackets.
I did a search on the Dish and "Pass Time" showed up.
"Name That Test and Tune" didn't.
Got 'er set up for today at 6:30 central. I noticed this same episode is scheduled several times over the next few days.

I love 55s!

 

Dude !!!! I saw that !!!!!
That was freakin' awsome!!!!!
I wondered if that was you.
Never met you & only seen your car briefly out at
Speedworld, & a couple of vids here on
the HAMB.
Love that car!!!
Way cool !!!!! Muy bitchin'!!!

 

I saw it on Speedvision in Canada last night, very cool.
Nice ride!!

 

I don't usually watch that show... but it was on and I remembered this thread...

nice wheelie! I stood up and gave ya a hell yeah!

My kids already know I'm nuts so it didn't phase em...

 

Enjoyed the heck out of that pass.

That shot of the 55 from the rear quarter at ground level was worth the video alone!

Love the show too...

 

loveee the car...nice wheelie

 

Man that was f'ing great. My dad and I saw it and we were awe struck. I had not seen my dad so giddy in a long time. You are the man. Your car rules.

 

You the man. Funny thing, I saw this tv show for the first time tonight, and now I saw this. Now I want a '55

 

Definetly does what it's supposed to do. EXCELLENT
