I've got a very similar issue with my 55 Chevy Gasser. It's got Vette 4 wheel disks (75) and power booster/master. I've been messing with rod...
What a trip! Thanks for starting this thread and really enjoyed the updates. Glad all worked out well and you enjoyed your vacation here in the...
I know a guy who has a '56 Vette that's been apart for decades. He's bought tons of NOS parts for it over the past 30 yrs but I'm sure it will...
Bought a six pack of Gibbs Brand over the Winter. My '56 had to sit outside for a couple months so I slathered it up real good to protect it....
Right On!
Well I spent most of the day yesterday driving the 55. It seems the rear leafs are sacked out. The more I drove it, the lower it got in the rear....
Haha! the dog Lucy, loves riding in this car. It's kinda funny as most dogs don't like loud stuff. When I start up the 55, she starts woo wooing,...
Thanks for the input guys. Yeah, zero rubbing and the suspension can move freely. (leafs relocated inside frame rails) It just looks a bit odd to...
Pondering a bit on the right look for ride height on my 55 Gasser. It was set up with ladder bars many years ago. The ride was pretty stiff with...
Here's my contribution to this cool thread. This '56 Belair belonged to a friend that had passed away Fall 2012. I had known him for years but...
I'll get some pics and numbers tomorrow. Feel free to give me a call. Kurt 715 410 0735 (WI company cell, I'm in Maine)
I've used it for years when winterizing my boats. It's a great fogging oil. Several years ago, I put my boat away for the winter, fogged both...
Was in a similar situation but reversed. Needed a motor for my '56 Chevy, bought a prefect running rebuilt 235 out of a '54 (original to the car)...
Glad to hear the issues have been relatively minimal. Really enjoying the daily updates! Right On!
Great reading! Here's one that I still kick my ass over. 1986, I was making pretty good money for a young man in his 20's and wanted to buy a...
Right on!
Really enjoying this thread and daily updates. Very impressed at how many miles you've traveled so far with no major issues. So nice that HAMB...
Great pics here. Funny how spoiled dogs rock. Spoiled kids, not so much...
Will be following for sure! Sounds like you're off to a great start and really looking forward to the updates! Safe travels my friend!
Great beach pics! Enjoy the trip! -No plans & fly. Good for you and best of luck! Wish I had some time to kill, I'd cruise along with ya! Kurt
Year back when my Wife and I were dating, I took her to a few swap meets. One day she asked why I like to look at brown car parts. :D

Here's a story I'll share. Up here in Maine, there's lots of property for hoarding stuff. Not far from me is a rather large collection of old...
Personally, I like to see stuff like this. As mentioned above, most of this stuff would have been crushed long ago if not for the eccentric dudes...
What a great story. Really enjoy the updates and pics. Very nice of you to have taken such an interest in this young man. Too many kids these days...
Thanks! Yeah, just an optical illusion. She's bone stock 24k on the clock. 236 6 cyl, powerglide, power brakes/power steering. It's a pretty...
This old '56 is gonna be my daily driver for this year. Been in a barn for many years. Spent the last 3 months waking it up. Put 60 miles on it...
Thanks for the reply. That's a bummer. He was a nice guy and had some really cool stuff deep in the woods.
Cool thread. Do any of you New Englanders remember Hills Auto in Derry NH? It was on a rural road off the beaten path. You would never know...
Very cool find. Do you know any of the history on it?
