Projects new project

I bought this car acouple of months ago. my plain is to build a American graffiti clone. I have a 396 in the machine shop being rebuilt and most of the parts to start on it. I am thinking about the rebel wiring kit to put in it. the only thing I may not put on it is the straight axle. I am looking at tilt front ends and I am looking at unlimited products and scotts rods and custom s products. my chrome reverse wheels are in from summit and I am about ready to radius the rear wheel wells. I am going to run a 265-70 15x8 rims on the back and 15x5 on the front. the fender well headers are next on the list to buy.

 

Subscribed,I really like the style your going after. HRP

 

Cool - This was at swap in Sacramento, CA

 

I like your plan. Hard to beat a big block/'55 Chevy combination. The last one I built had a + .030 427 and a clutch 400Turbo. Missed the 4spd and converted it back and was offered about double what I had in it so down the road it went. Used the money to buy my first Camaro and never owned another tri-5 Chevy.

Last winter I bought a 55 chevy 2dr post project to build a NHRA. junior stocker clone.Being retired I have the time,but I have come to find out not the money.My wife told me to go out and get another job if I want to do the car.I don't think so,I think I'LL sell it.

 

I picked up a Muncie m20 4 speed to go in it.i have a turbo 350 but not with the bb.

 

Naw,just hide it till time and money join hands.

 

"Say,boy, you seen a piss yella coupe around here?"

 

I do not think he will be fast enough.

 

AWESOME!
Im about to start on my 55 sedan also... Planning a similar build minus the solid axle front... and I have a 584 horse 327...
So can I ask you a favor?
My floor pans are shot and I need some dimensions of the body so I can build some jigs to hold everything together... haha
