  7. With all these pictures of very cool 55's you guys are making me want to sell my Deuce and get another 55 again. I am starting to really miss my old car now more than ever.

    ^^^ I liked it before and think the after would look better if it had some better front runners and more meat in the back.
    (This ones not mine but its pretty cool and reminds me of your 210)

    Thanks Low Budget "both" of those are coming very soon. As mine is a very low budget build. Really like your car and choice of wheel tire combo. Hopefully mine will look more like it. Also fenderwell headers to come........someday

    Here's our old 55, my wife bought it a few years ago when I was out of town. it has a small block 400 with a 4 speed. Don't hate, we got rid of the S-10 wheels and put gray spoke ET's on it a couple of years ago.

    Kevs56 fantastic job the pictures make it look so easy. We know it not. I like everything about the car. Looks like your in for some good times driving that 55. That's what its all about. Looks like you have plenty of other neat projects to keep you busy. Ron

    I remember when you first came onto the HAMB having just bought your Delivery. It's a little weird now, you have the same cars I've had; 55 4dr, 56 Delivery, 63 Biscayne..............................Vuja Da -the strange feeling this has never happened before, as opposed to Deja Vu -the strange feeling this HAS happened before. Keep up the excellent work! Butch/56sedandelivery.
