My New Gasser Project

Just wanted to show off my latest addition to my car A.D.D. problem.This is the 55 that johnFordman had in the classifieds.He did all the hard work to get it this far,and then,from his car A.D.D., decided to sell it.I tried to talk myself outta it,but couldn't.I think he will be bummed when I pull up in front of his house and do a burnout!Unless I sell it before,but I hope I'm not that stupid!I have a mild 454 and a Powerglide that I'm gonna throw in it,and I have a set of fenderwell headers for it.Should be fun~

 

That's bitchin' dude!

 

Looks awesome already...my 55 sedan needs an axle stuck under it !!!

Those '55 Chevy gassers are so kool.

 

Very nice !!!

 

Good move ,can't go wrong with a bad-ass gasser. Gary

 

That is cool,

Just make sure you keep it longer then you did your roadster. You plan on having it on the road by next spring? I'll look forward to witnessing the big smokey burnout.

 

Nothing like a nosebleed gasser, thinking of doing one myself-you.ve got a good start good luck Jim

 

You got a helluva deal.
Keep us posted.

 

Move to Oklahoma and join our group

 

Pharque thats gunna be great. nice buy.

But what about being different and running a Jimmy???

 

You lucky bastid!
I've got a '57 project but I have to admit, '55s rule!

 

That's hot...the "paint" is perfect...

 

Mutt-I have no idea how long I'm gonna hav it.I can say that even tho I can't run it at the Antique Nats........I think I can run it the night before and race John.I hav a title to defend!I'm pretty siked on this one,and I wasn't expecting that.I just hav to do it and not think about it to much~

 

Looks like alot of fun to me

 

Great car! Make a tilt front out of it ala 2 lane black top! Ever since re-watching that movie a couple of weeks ago I can't stop thinking about a 55 gasser with a big block. Once you get it done you need to race a GTO to D.C. for pinks!

 

I must have gone back to that FS add about 50 times.

If the car wasn't so far away, I would be the one putting a drivetrain in it.

Good luck with the car and make sure you show us the first big ass burnout.

 

Excellent! Good luck with it.

 

That is one nice '55!!! Can't wait to see it with a drivetrain in it!

 

slow

 

I like those front tires, what are they?

 

They kinda look like Pro- Trac front runners

 

Gotta love the gassers!! I wouldnt have been able to resist either

 

go take it to a Goodguys show quick! and scare the locals.

 

Just make sure you have it when Murph and I make it out for Paso again....

 

just dont do a burnout in it like i did last summer in my 55 and get booted..........

 

Are you guys really coming back next year? You need to make it an annual thing and buy a project to take back like we talked about. Pepe and I will be in Paso Friday and Saturday next May. I cant wait.

 

You might wanna check the rear tire pressure, it looks a little low. And its a shame the car was missing the front bumper

Seriously, nice car man. Everybody likes a gasser!

 

Wish it was in MY garage!!! Gassers RULE!
