Olds 88 SkyRocket 394 powered 55 Chevy

  1. I believe in the power of the Olds power-plant. I have a 55 Chevy 2-Door Post that I just want to get running because I'm sick of it just sitting there gathering dust. Around Christmas, I picked up this complete 394 ci Olds 88 SkyRocket for a bargain. I once called this car "The Little Lady", but I think that I will change its name to "The Bride of Frankenstein". She will be the baddest beast on this side of the Mississippi. The undercarriage will consist of a 56 Chevy 4-Door frame because the frames are identical from the 55 and 56 2-Door Sedans and 4-Door Sedans. Once I get it running, she will be my daily.

    I believe in the power of Jesus and His Grace that He has provided me. Without him, I would not be here now. Just like the "Bride", He's restoring me to be whatever He needs me to be. He's the master welder, and I'm a hunk of rust. But I'll be finished one day. One day.
