Projects 1955 chevy altered wheel base

Bought this car with a buddy last week and supposed to be an old race car. Took some primer off the door and found some lettering!

 

serious question, dont be offended,
why the interest in a Lark? Did they have big engines?

 

no just a buddy bought the car real cheap and asked me if I wanted it to build and its something different and it has a chevy motor in it.

 

That '55 is Bad A$$!!

 

I need those wheels and tires off it Louie.... Lol looks good

 

Appropriate name, Boogie Rat; it'll be "dancin' around" for sure with the altered/short wheelbase. And the plans are.....................? Is the driver position set back also? Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

is that guffy's old car
i was trying to buy his awb tri 5 a few years ago
tk

 

Great find! Thats one tuff lookn' 55. F-gl*** front& trunk? Not alot of slick clearance there.

 

Im not sure we are trying to find out what the history of it. We got it from a guy here in Cincinnati but be claimed to buy it off eBay

 

The '55 is very cool! Not so sure about the old artwork though? Looks a little like a 2nd grader drew it.

 

Yea the artwork is pretty rough haha

 

Great score on a very cool '55! But I'm getting an urge to see a Japanese Sci-Fi B movie for some reason....

 

Cool 55!

 

Thanks just wish I could find some history about it

 

Sanded down the original fender and it says Shenandoah so I'm guessing virginia since the guy we got it from said he got it from the richmond, va area....anyone from that area know a joe Pritchard that use to run a 55 ?

 

That 55 is sweet!!! nice score

 

oh no not another rat ro- - Ha! very cool looking '55 - is it well built, or low buck 60's style? hope that you keep the rear tires under the body and do not do a full wheel well opening. possibly the name was inspired by a drawing that Big Daddy Ed Roth did ***led " Fat Rat Boogie". as for a previous possible eBay sale there is a 2011 ad here that sounded like it ended up on eBay "1955 Chevy 2 Door/Altered Wheel Base G***er" - no pics. also, a long thread started in 2007 "1955 Chevy G***er Owners Wanted? Post Pics"

 

i did the artwork....and yes was in second grade at the time!

sick find for real, great with lace paint and injected bbc or blown pontiac!

 

That's a pretty sweet find, what are your plans with it ?

 

Just try to turn it back to its old glory will post pics as we go...should be done in the spring!
