just ran into your post,very cool! big fan of the 55 and like what you did! those mounts are for the bellhousing,when you put later tranie in tri-5's but hey they didn't go to waste,GOOD LUCK!
Ya need to get rid of those hi back seats in front , Ya need a bench seat ! Sorry just my two cents worth , You have came a long way in a short time , I remember when you got your 55 not to long ago , sooooooo you have done great in a short time...... Keep up the great work.....
i hate those seats, but i haven't found the right set of buckets to replace them yet. they're better than milk crates... thanks man.
look in the jeep section of the jc whitney catalog. low back black brand new bucket seats for old jeep replacement 115.00 bucks a piece.. two of my friends with gasser 55s both bought them they look and fit perfect. my buddy mike lives rite over in georgetown you could go take a look if you want. lemme know..
http://www.limeworkspeedshop.com/store_hotrodparts_interior_bucketraceseats.html These are the seats in putting in my 55, cheap and period correct seat covers, cant beat the price. Under 100.00 bucks
are these the ones? j.c. whitney jeep seats the price is definitely right. i think i would need to check them out in person, instead of just seeing them float in cyber space.
only thing i got is the nasty old brown padding left in mine ....got a new one just havent put it in yet ..
thats them. my buddy mike would be more than happy to let you check them out in his 55. like i said hes in georgetown /groveland. i think thats pretty close to you. dana might know were his house is. lemme know..
Your car is raw and edgy and it might piss off some of the "good guys" crowd. I often find ones criticizing don't even have a damn car or whatever it is they are downgrading.. They drive a civic. go figure. Have fun with your car!
Looks good to me! Seems like anymore there is at least one dirt-bag running their mouth. When the criticizing begins, I recommend you ask them "Who built your car?" Besides, your car is a million times nicer than my POS 55! Hang in there!
thanks guys. 9 times out of 10 it's 1 of you guys saying something like that rather than the 1 dingleberry with some shit to talk. i could care less, i love this pile & it's coming together just like i planned (even though plans change). there's a ton of stuff i'd love to do to this car, but i can only do what time/$/ambition allow all while keeping it a driver, so i'm not "no-car-dork". which can be tough when your 9-5 6 days a week is a general repair mechanic keeping customer's ford escorts (& other assorted junks) going down the road for the least amount of $ possible. you get burnt out on turning a wrench. well, i do anyways. nitrohonkey, aren't you building a 55 out of a pile of rust? much respect dude. that's an ambitious project, best of luck with it. makes me feel alot better about the rust work my car needs
Definitely Merry Christmas to you, those wheels are swell! Did you put one on top of your tree instead of a star. I would have. but that's just me.
I'll have to say it again.. That thing looks like it could eat small children!!! I can't wait to see those new front wheels on there. Stance Is Close To Perfect....
the roads were dry & she needed some gas anyways so i took her out to lunch today. didn't miss a beat.
hey dude.. tried to email ou thru here but it didnt work.. gonna send a pm.. funny i took my toilet out for a spin yesterday , and got gas in too!! wierd
