another 56 chevy build Iam thinking a gasser

Man you are kicking some ass on this thing already!

 

Butch, those new wheels look killer. That little motor is gonna be a screamer. I have an old ANSEN scattershield for a tri-five has the frame mount style mounting.75.00 if you need it. By the way it's a heavy mother&8%#.My little motor is a 350 punched 30 over,STD. DZ302 Crank and rods.12.5 slugs ported and polished 2.02 heads,tunnel ram,4-speed 4:56 gears.Keep those photos coming.FALFA

 

Butch: Are you going to put a straight axle in it? I met the guy that builds axles for Speedway a couple of years ago at the Wichita swap meet. Maybe you know him. He built me one to my specs and was great to deal with.

hey guys. thanks for the info . we are going to put a straight axle in it thinking about using one out of a 54 chevy truck but not sure yet. hey Falfas 55 I will PM you some time this week on that scattershisld.

 

I like the axle that Gasser55 put on his blue 55 altered, The drop looks less than a 49-54 axle and places the wheel closer to the fender. Anyone know what axle he has???

 

hey by the way Chevy55 that is one cool 56........

 

got my slicks today should I mount whitewall in or out?

 

In !

 

I vote in! Are those 10" inch americans on the back? I had a set of 10"s With 3" And 3/4" back space on my old 55 I has in the mid 90's, I put the springs inboard, centered the gas tank and put 2 inch blocks on the back. Has 275/60 tire. I put a 57 ford nine inch rear in it. It was real low for then. I sold it A long time ago. Have a 56 2-door post project waiting for some metal work and straight axle.

 

X2. black wall out. JM.02. Looks like a real clean car. What's the history on it?

 

One more vote for blackwalls. What brand did you buy?

 

Radirs

 

Good choice, my Comet will be getting a set soon.

 

Black wall out!

 

we got a little more done......

 

Work it, work it!

 

getting closer

 

Kool man

 

thanks Ricky......

 

Brother Butch.....your a wild man.....your just smokin along there in the new shop. The progress looks great and the blackwall's out would be my pick also.

Keep up the good work......spring is only 6 months away....lol.

 

thank's Guy's

 

i'm familiar with this concept! looks great... looks like you got a real nice car to start with. I wish i could say the same.. oh well I need practice welding.

 

Looks great, fast work too. It should be a screamer with that drivetrain. Exactly what I am dying to do to a 55 2 dr wagon, just need the wagon body and frame..I think the Chevy truck axle is the way to go...keep your GM all GM.

 

we got the axle in......ol'e Griz has been welding his butt off. I better give him a day off

 

Fuck a day off,just keep him in the red beers and keep goingggggggggg.looks badass.

 

NOW what do I do disc brakes or drum ?

 

we set her on the ground.Ole Griz been givin them red beers hell....

 

HELL yes nose bleed high in front.

 

Butch, the slicks look good. I would put disc on the front for your own safety. You never know when the local idiot will pull out on you. Keep up the good work. FALFA
