55 gasser build 60s style

Car is looking good. Can't wait to hear it run and see the paint job. That should be a handful to drive!

 

That thing is bitchin! Nice work!

 

well got rear disc brakes on this weekend ...brake lines all ran...also installed my rear mounted radiator. u can see the pipes that supply on in pic as well and Im using a 55 gal per min inline pump to supply it...

 

Interesting set up. Love the look of being able to see the motor through the grille/grille opening without the radiator blocking the view.

 

thats the look im going for but also dont have the room to run rad in front of motor because of the moon tank behind the front cross member due to saftey issues for nhra.

 

Pontiac rear, cool!

 

This thing is gonna be sweet!

 

I just found this thread. WOW! what a nice build. please keep the pics coming.

 

This whole build makes me weak in the knees. Definitely had to change my underwear. Olds rear ends are always a bitchin option especially on a 55 Chevy. A real 150 turned into a gasser. Cool man. Real cool.

 

cars lookin good cant wait to see it finished

 

Got some painting done this weekend and reassemble on chassis stuff plus the G/F worked on tail light area and radius...she has alot more patience then me for sure..pics arent so good ...looks better in person...

 

You mean women actually help you work on your cars in California?! I've done nothing but loose women over my cars.

 

Coming a long great! Subscribed!

 

she gets down n dirty with the car.... I work on hers as well so it works nice...Ive trained her well....

 

Better hope she does not read this reply....

 

Lmao!!!

 

Nice work and thanks for taking the time to make all the post. It's so cool to have a vision and being able to bring it to life. Once you fire it up the smiles will be non stop. I know the first time I set the line lok and side steped the clutch made it all worth while.

 

Thanks Carpok, Yeah well i like reading others stuff too and I guess it goes round and round. Thanks everyone for kind words. Helps me along with this crazy build I have going.

 

Thought id keep the fellow readers up to date. I did the hookup on my 4 speed and slide the bbc into its new home. did some hookup this weekend.

Looking mean !

 

That thing sure has come along long ways looks GREAT you should be proud

I'll certainly second these good thoughts.......well done brother.

 

that thing is gonna rock, post us a video after you get it going, looks great

 

I did record the startup of it

 

I just went through all 11 pages and all I can say is wow. That car looks fantastic.

 

Thanks for the interest makes my posts worth while

 

Your 55 is one of the coolest I've seen. Everything is dead on, you have an excellent eye for old school detail. Love BBC dressed old, the injection, the tube front end, wheels, interior blah blah blah. Great job man that car looks BAD ASS. Kev
