Projects R. Seghi's 55 Chevy gasser build.

How's progress on the car? Love the paint on the roof by the way!

 

So you "R" trying to boost your post count today or just bored? Saw several posts with just "Hummm..." from you.

 

You aren't the only one who noticed that, loudbang! Looks like he's got something brewing....

*edit* looks like he's eyeing up a C2
I was just looking over his Nomad for sale in the cl***ifieds

 

Now your learning. Stay awhile.

 

Ok, got my parts but realize that I need a mid plate for my ****ter shield. So I need to order that after I get paid at the end of the month. But it's happening. I will finish this car soon. Maybe even cruise it to a show or two this summer.

 

IT SEES THE LIGHT OF DAY !!!

 

Looking good, I like the stance and color.

 

Thx Gringo

 

Chrome trim and inside moulding is being installed.

 

This is actually almost ready for the drivetrain and final touches. And it's only been five years. My how time flies.

 

I can't believe this car is ****ing done and ready for the engine and trans. Need to buy some chrome screws for the headlight rings and buy new sill plates but other then that it's ready. Lights work, interior trim is installed, outside trim is installed, it's done.

 

Holy **** that car is pretty!

 

That car is along time coming Power. Thank You.

 

Nice. The white headliner looks good in the all black interior.

 

That really does make it pop,doesn't it?

It's been a long wait for this car,but worth every second judging by these pictures.Nice work Man!

Thx Scott, yeah I picked a white headliner because all black would be too dark.
The white gives it a brighter feel. Or a "POP" as it were.

 

So remind me again what the details are on the drivetrain?
I'm pretty sure this car could rake in trophies with a straight six,so anything zesty between the frame rails oughtta really knock em dead.

355c.i. 500hp dual 600CFM Holleys tunnel ram tremec 5spd Olds. Pont. rear 3:73 gears. posi.

 

Car looks good Robert. Are you going to having running in time for LARS?

 

I really don't think so. I need to install the engine and trans. at my buddy's shop, Then we need to dial it in, then set ride height and build some period correct ladder bars, then it goes back to the Body Shop for more color sanding and polishing, then contact some Magazines for a possible shoot THEN ...drive it like I stole it. Sooo, no. Soon is all I can say.

 

Leaving Friday for my friends shop in Bakersfield, Performance Head Development to put the motor and trans. in, adjust ride height and build bigger ladder bars. I also need to order a pair of chrome reverse wheels for the back. Going with 15x8 with a 5"-3" back space and a 10" cheater slick or close to that to give the tire that ****ed in look.

 

Car is in Bako at P.H.D.

 

yep it's still there

 

You should go with a 4:30 gear with that tremec.

and why is that?

 

Just finished mine. The 4:30 rear gear seems perfect to me. It's really a blast to drive.
