[FONT="] I was hoping you or maybe some of your members might know any possible history on my car. I cannot find a contact number for the previous owner of my car for any information. Its a 55 Chevy 2 Dr. Sedan. I bought the car in 86 from a guy in Mentor On The Lake. At that time, he told me the car was from Perry, Ohio. So my guess is that it was probably raced at Thompson. I found traces of Silver paint and Orange paint on the car when stripping it. It had Green Plexi-Gl*** Quarter Windows in it, a fibergl*** lift off hood, and the fibergl*** fenders tilted forward (bolted to the core support on [/FONT][FONT="]door hinges[/FONT][FONT="]). Looks like it might have had [/FONT][FONT="]new quarter panels[/FONT][FONT="] put on so they could have been radius at one time. Firewall is cut out, along with a bottom portion of the dash. Interior has a 3 [/FONT][FONT="]point roll cage[/FONT][FONT="] with a small fan attached to it. Steel homemade mini tubs in rear. Late 30s to early - mid 40s Ford tube front axle. Pontiac/Olds rear end with 6:17 gears and homemade rectangular steel Ladder Bars welded to the axle tubes. I have left just about everything the way I bought it with exception of some bodywork, new floor and trunk pans, and a Vega steering box to tighten up the front. [/FONT]
Take it back to Thompson the first weekend in June.. There a g***er deal going on at the track.. someone will remeber the car. rick
Welcome from the West Coast of Florida. Love the car but I am not sure about that fan with no guard on it being right next to the driver!!!!!!! Cool project.
