1956 chevy gasser build

Its a combination of both, the guy i had do it is a pro . I had ordered a S&W racecars kit for the back half and then he got the front half from someone else (he doesnt like doing the actual upper halo style, he uses the kits that have upper side bars going down and then a cross bar up top that you weld in after, he says they are much easier to install then he did alot of custom fitting to make it right. He said it should be legal to 8.50. He ads alot of bars tho to make this happen.

 

very cool build. Can't wait to see its nose sky high!

 

sweet the car is looking good nice job

 

Bull nosed the front frame rails.

 

getting closer with the motor heads are torqued, there is plenty of piston to valve clearance

 

Coming along great. Well done

 

Hey Uncledirty, met you I think a month ago at Mike"s when you guys were trashing on the frame waiting for the floor pan, and when you told me that you were targeting March for Detroit I thought to myself "GoodLuck!" but man you're doing it! Great job, can't wait to see her done.

 

Thanks man, yeah Mike is one very motivated person!! I have so much respect for him i cant even put it into words! This would not have been possible without him. Im pretty excited to see how it turns out for Detroit.

 

Well kids, i swore off Alcohol almost 3 years ago, my car on the other hand, did not! =)

 

Nice! That's way cooler than a single plane and a holley.
Are you going to try running this car on the street at all?

 

If it does , it will be to go about 3 miles down the road and probably only once or twice, it that. I have heard the mechanical injection doesnt have good street manners, but im not to worried about it.

 

NOW you're talking !!!! Stacks rule !!!

Mike Chilandro alkydigger.com can help you with street manners
( track and street ) if you want both !!!!

 

Trunk finished

 

New rims!!!

 

new rims....on the car

 

Another angle

 

Mike working on turning that little beauty into a one piece

 

voila!!

 

I like it!!

 

tomorrow the under carriage gets paint!!

 

awsome build cant wait to see the video of the car on the rear bumper

 

That could end badly lol the rear bumper will be glass. Probably will have wheelie bars on it if its stands up too much, but i have no trans brake so i should be ok.

 

We have magneto, and i dont mean the supervillain!!

 

doors are getting a face lift.

 

Shifter is hooked up and works!

 

Keep gong man! Keep going! Get her done!
Jay

 

Have you thought about using the 3M body panel adhesive to attach the door skins ?

 

No but i will mention it to the body guy, Mike tried to bend them over and all they did is start to roll, so we are waiting on his body guy, but i will mention it, thank you

 

I would like to take a moment to give credit where it is due, this project and all its progress would not be possible if it weren't for Mike Borema and Gas Axe Garage. His work , his quality and dedication to Hot rodding in general , are second to none!! His builds are works of art!
