So, here I am in colorado springs,colorado! Not exactly a hot bed of retro-rods or Kulture people around here. I'm not a slicked back hair greaser myself, but when you enter car shows or go to the local scenes, it's pretty apparent! I have a "Double Nickel" 2-door Chevy 210 post in the works. I got this idea from all of my Kulture mags. Most 55's are "Gassers" and I went another way with mine. Two-inch drop spindles in front with a stock height in back, Red steels with moon eyes center caps, beauty rings, rollin' the BIG wide white walls! I got my hands on a 1970 stage 1 455c.i.d. Buick (ever so slightly modified!hahaha!) I'm dropping in soon with a built TH400 behind it! Still have'nt decided on the rear end yet. I have a 12 bolt and a nine inch (Ford). I'm a GM guy. My bolting up a Ford in my Chevy may be bad Karma! As far as paint goes? Flat Black baby!!! (PPG DP90) A friend of mine up in Denver does bad**** striping!!! Unless you know someone better around here??? Close to stock interior. There you have it!!! My baby in the works! Suggestions are welcome! (If their any good, that is!)
Hey Grease Monkey......the 55 sounds like it's going to be a kool ride brother..........welcome to the HAMB!
Don't forget to throw some pic's up of the ride in the future so we can see how it's progressing. Good luck with the build!!
