A dream came true!!

Finaly , a dream came true!

I have a Chevy 55 Bel air 2dr post now!!
Just love it!!!

Its gonna be rough ´n tough!!

 

Looks like a nice car, but what the hell is that pulling it?

 

Sweet! Looks like a good start. Did it come complete or just a shell and ch***is?

 

That car is my "someday" car too. I would build it exactly like Two Lane Blacktop........rough, loud, and rude. Good find.

Don

 

Looks like it says "OPEL" on the back.

 

Oh..sorry, I forgot to Photoshop that away =)

 

Thanks!!
Pretty much complete, was missing all gl*** and engine/gearbox

Have a engine for it =)

 

I have always tought that I never gonna own a 55 chevy, but now I do, so unreal!

Keep hoping, it will come!

 

Im going to put my corvette 56 engine in it!

 

Congrats! Keep us posted.

 

Thanks!!

Im going to fix photos under my build =)

 

Way to go ! You always have that special car or truck you really , really want but many never get it own one . It's really GREAT when you do finally come across that special car or truck you want and finally have it sitting in your driveway waiting for you to bring it back to life in that special way you want it to be .
Have Fun !

The guys here dont miss anything

 

very nice have you thought about the color or colors yet?

 

Very cool! That brings back fond memories. Makes me wonder if a 55 I knew about years ago is still in an old garage west of town ...

 

Thanks alot Jim!

Its a fine moment to live out this dream, and make it as I want it =)
Its fun to wake up this chevy, and do***ent it =)

As I said before, I never thought that I gonna own a chevy 55

Thanks!

 

Yeah, no detail missed =)

 

Hi, thinking of maybe half dark grey, flat, with texts on sides, it must have a name =) Maybe Black´n white and name it ; The Fat Panda

 

HI

check it out, maybe its left and forgotten?
it could be nice?

 

Are all small block chevys out of a Corvette??!!

 

If you've ever read any little books from back in the day and most mags from present times then you know that the answer is a definite YES! Even small blocks that didn't come new in 'vettes were first installed in 'vettes for the break in period then pulled back to be installed in trucks and sedans starting in '56. It's common knowledge, duh!

 

Good starter....

 

Hope you are heading for the same satisfying dream I've enjoyed. I have a 55 two door sedan too, even though it's an Oldsmobile. But the best build you can hope for is the one you fall in love with.

Do what you've always dreamed of doing and make it totally your own. Nothing wrong with using ideas from something you've seen, but make it yours in every special way you can.

Hope I don't sound too weird in all of this, but it's coming from someone who is enjoying a dream 55 too.............

Welcome aboard and keep us posted..........

 

I sure that mine are at least

 

Thanks Sir!!
Yeah, I totaly fell in love with it!
Im going to enjoy every part of the build, and sure are going to keep post these moments and pictures ... =)
Do you have youre 55 story here on Hamb?
Im still have problem to find here..

Thanks again, and I wont let U down with new uppdates =)

 

are their many 55's in sweden? looks pretty solid. i had 56's,love em to death.good luck on your build

 

Is that a 7-11 in Sweden?

Cool car man!

 

There´s pretty much 55´s in sweden, everyone wants US cars, they want the real stuff =)

 

Thanks

 

"The Fat Panda"...??? You're joking, right...??? Or is that your nickname...???

WTH does that have to do with 1.), a '55 Chevy, and 2.) making a "pseudo" race car out of it...??? Black and white paint on a '55 Chevy certianly wouldn't remind me of a fat panda...

Congrats anyway, on the getting the car of your dreams...
