Projects Austin Speed Shop - RoadFarmer 1955 Chevy Gasser Build

wow! can't wait to see this at the 2016 Roundup... The paint job is just killer!! All the chrome against that burgundy or red really pops!! Great job!

 

This is one of the finest 55s on the planet!!!!

 

You got till xmas to get it done. Then we will go for a ride. If it isnt running by then. you will just have to push me around in it, While i make engine noises.
Deal?

 

Ya..... about that......I found out a couple months ago that I am the best man in a buddy's wedding the same weekend in California. I'm pretty bummed out about it. I tried to explain it to my wife..."Imagine how sad I would be if I missed the birth of one of our kids.... well it's worse than that!" hahaha

I'll have to see how things go, but I'd like to have the car there regardless....so we'll see.

 

Just leave the keys in the gas filler door then.
After you fill it of course.
Ha

 

Don't worry. I'm willing to stand in for you.

 

Pretty sure I get first dibs

 

I will replace gas i use but not the tires.

In the Wedding, right? You guys are so nice!

 

Looks good.
Is the shop open from xmas to new years at all?
I want to come buy and see this in person. Maybe buy a shirt.

 

OUTRAGEOUS on all levels!

 

We'll be open but the car will probably be at upholstery.

With the exception of front and rear glass, the exterior is pretty much all assembled. Wiring has started and shouldn't take long. Phil Cato who's doing the interior even came by today to make patterns and get started on the door panels. Closer and closer!

 

Can a hotrodder use the word stunning, no, how about effing stunning.

 

holy crap, that looks awesome!

 

inspiring stuff right there... nice.

 

Sweet

 

Sounds great

 

Sounds like it looks RoadFarmer, BadAss!

 

Very very nice. Are you guys gonna run without front shocks?

 

Saw your car on instagram last night, driving out of the shop under it's own power. Simply awesome, wish I could see it in person!

 

When is it gonna hit the strip??

 

Man that thing almost looks too good to drive, but sounds way too good not to.

 

One hour cruise, two days of cleaning, what better way to burn an hour! Man, what a car! Outstanding!!!!!!!!

 

Lets see the video of this.
If there is a video, please

 

Steven has the video, I'm sure he'll be posting it at some point. The car sounds nasty.....like cackle fest FED on alcohol nasty! It needs some tuning, running 6 Strombergs with direct linkage on all of them must be dialed in. It's been driven around the shop and very little on the street, but enough to know everything is functioning as it should. We loaded it up and took it over to Phil Cato aka Cato Custom Upholstery today. He's going to stitch up some magic over the next few weeks. When it comes back to us, we'll get the front and rear glass in, do some buttoning up, fine tuning and test driving, then it's off to So Cal for the GNRS.

There are front shocks. In the above pictures they weren't installed, the lower mounts were still at the chrome platers. They are on the car now.
