55' Chevy "GASSER" Build UP... Yeah, another one

Made some progress today. Got it fired. Thats pappa and my son in the pic

Video coming after I get it back on the road.

Any thoughts on some valve covers ? I just can't seem to find a set that I like..

 

lookin good, polish the fins on the ones you've got.until you find some others.fine ride

 

Cool project

 

The M/T's you have a perfect for that car, just get rid of the black paint on them. Natural finish or polish, either way would be right on.

 

yeah, those v/covers will be good without the black paint...

 

I like the black M/T valve covers, but at least sand the tops of the fins, logo and pad to remove the paint from there .

 

I too say polish the fins and maybe even the lips, that would be a bit different.

 

Video was taken just after break in, so I'm being pretty nice to it ( only reving it up to about 2800 RPM )

More videos later after I get the tune finished. I'm going to get some single chamber mufflers too, as I'm not too happy with the 44's that are on there.

My cameras audio stinks, so it doesn't sound all that great

Man I love that whine !

 

Sounds great, When is the first showing going to be?. It would be kinda cool to get a straight axle group for Nor Cal. I like the right side valve cover. just cleaning those fins and M/T look right for now. You did some nice work. Now put a tach in it and watch it this time!!!!!!Let that big block pull you.

 

sounds good, like the valve cover

 

me too.....

 

There is nothing like the sound a 6-71 huffer makes......

Very nice ride...keep moving forward....

 

Congrats on the new mill!

 

Thanks.

I'm trying to get all the little bugs worked out and the tune dialed. Its amazing all the little things that now don't work i.e. system wont charge.. Now what in the world goes wrong with a BRAND new one wire alt ?

It's little stuff like this that drives me crazy.

Well have to do little get together soon for lunch or something.

 

got it all buttoned up.

Going for a ride

 

Badassedness is in the air.....

 

Looks and sounds great!

 

Very cool! Sounds really nice!

 

Tits! Bad ass!

 

Fantastic build!!!Sounds and looks great!
Can I ask,how long is the drive snout that you ended up using.

Well......... We're waiting to hear how the break in drive went?????All OK???

 

Went good. Bias ply tires were a little "bumpy" after sitting for a few months.

I'm going to try to run this dizzy lockout out at 30 all in and see how it runs / starts.

 

Now this is the hot rod world i want to live in! I wish i could go back when cars were real cars and hot rods were real "hot" rods and not a bunch of rice burning crap! Love the shot, thanks for sharing.

 

We need a YouTube video stat!
