Hot Rods 1955 chevy owners

There is a gorgeous gold 55 Customized here. It used to be fairly common until the Holy-Cult of 55-57-Chevvies-Must-be-Stock took over

 

You may be joking but I think that's why I and others are afraid to show or tell as much as we would have a few years ago.
I haven't seen any updates or good news about any of the cars reported missing here. I googled our place here and where we bought. It is scary what can be found. In fact I know more about the neighbors where we are moving, yet have never been, than our neigbors here.

 

not joking. his address is on his avatar

 

This was mine a long time ago........

 

Yep you can tell there are a number of vehicles and that's about it. the street view is a old file picture.

 

What me worry? Any one driving down the HWY at my corner can see more than google earth shows. Ive got a fence locked gate . Yappy dogs, Mean biteing honking noisy geese. And last but not least a very stinky billy goat with big horns. and the Curmudgeon who resides here carry,s a ruger Blackhawk 44 everyplace he goes. deadly shot with a laser sight.

 

I'd be more worried about that killer goat!

 

I am in the process of building this one, it has a 396 with 4 speed.

 

My 55 409 4-speed

 

and just before the convertible.....I had this one.

 

Mine on the inside.

 

I plan to go visit Old Wolf one of these days, but not without an invitation!

 

I probably would just show up cause that's how I am. Animals like me and I haven't been shot with a 44 yet.

 

I'll have to bring Old Wolf some rusty gifts

 

You are welcome if you bring cash. Better call (870-248-9172) first to be sure I will be home. If im not here you wont get past the gate. my wife wont open the gate for anyone.

 

there can be a first time for everything?

 

I haven't tried this yet, but it seems legit...

 

And to get back on topic, I don't have a '55 right now. But, I turn 55 next year, so that is one of my goals. If not there's always a '56 a year later.

 

I've owned this car for almost thirty years. 210 Del Ray

 

Well Ed I hate to say this publicly but I like that five five. The stance is perfect and while blue is not my favorite color it looks right on your car.

 

CASH?? You know the old saying---Rusty parts will get you thru times of no cash better than cash will get you thru times of no rusty parts. I'm pretty sure thats how it goes

 

There is only one thing a stock tri five is good for and that's modifying.

Well not exactly but close enough for a hot rod site.

 

Believe it or not I don't want any more stuff. The first step to reducing the hoard is to quit acquiring more. Im mentally in full on reduction mode .I never bought any project parts & projects last year. Only thing I bought was chain link fence a 2 cyl Wisconsin engine. and a set of six lug 16 inch split rims. Sold a dozen vehicles and lots of parts. Im keeping my 55 & 56 chevy stuff. I sold two 57 chev 4 door parts cars for $200 each last month.

 

I was 55 once. Then I retired and got old! It's still better than what could have happened.

 

Hmmmm, I was once 55, then I got old and retired and it definitely is better than the alternative.
